It is important for all reading this article to remember that the Lake Tahoe
outbreak in the '80's appears, in retrospect, to have actually been yet
another ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) outbreak. And that USA CDC staff then
CHOSE to ignore that illness and it's decades-long corroborating
documentation, and instead decided to say they were seeing a new, emerging illness...which
they named it 'CFS'.

See for the whole article:

Unfortunately the Incline Village patients were not reported in the context
that they suffered from a known disease. A disease that Melvin Ramsay reported
previously in 1955. His work at the Royal Free Hospital in London resulted in
the term Myalgic
Encephalomyelitis. 

If the correlation would have been made with this work, the outbreak may have
received more consideration.

However the doctors in this small tucked away ski village, a remote place
called Incline Village, were not in contact with a medical library and thought,
or wished to think, they had discovered a new disease.

Unfortunately, sadly, they have never even now recognized Ramsay and his
salutary work.
