Today more than ever, IN SPITE OF ALL THE EVIDENCE I have provided, CFS researchers remain more adamantly resolved to never investigate this, NEVER LISTEN, NEVER try to find out what we described... treat me as loonie for talking about it. But you would think that we would be questioned, at least, and there werent a lot of questions There were NO QUESTIONS. Only three decades of FIGHTING us to say that doesnt matter Maybe to CFS researchers it doesnt, but it mattered enough to start a syndrome. Oslers Web; Inside the Labyrinth of the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic by Hillary Johnson Page 49 Foot Soldiers From Atlanta Truckee High teachers Gerald and Janice Kennedy met Holmes, but Gerald Kennedy confirmed, It wasnt by his request --- it was by ours. Upon arriving for an appointment with Peterson, they learned from the doctors staff that a federal investigator was on the premises. Gerald Kennedy, by now convinced that he, Janice, and their Truckee High colleagues had been victims of an environmentally transmitted disease, sought a meeting with him. Apparently Holmes was agreeable. We went into the examining room and asked him some questions, Kennedy said. High among the teachers concerns was the possibility that fumes from the ditto machine toner --- which, after all, was packaged in a can decorated with skull and crossbones --- had made the teachers ill. Another culprit proposed by Kennedy was the encrusted, infrequently changed air filters in the rooms heating system. Could they have allowed a viral agent to infect the teachers? I remember telling him about the filters, Kennedy said. You could tell he thought we were a bunch of loonies, That was early into it, and we were still thinking, Well, maybe we ARE crazy. But you would think that we would be questioned, at least, and there werent a lot of questions. He just nodded his head and said, Uh-huh, uh-huh. Very little information was exchanged. By his countenance of indifference, Holmes communicated his bias to the Kennedys: He seemed to have already made up his mind about us.
