These letters, on the site created by Roger Burns, are to a woman named Joa=
n
Irvine. They are from the CDC. The more damning of the two is from Dr
Reeves; he cautions her against donating blood because of =B3 a possible
infectious agent=B2.
It seems appropriate, in light of today=B9s proceedings =AD and those
anticipated tomorrow =AD that these letters be revisited.
Joan was a tireless campaigner and a charming writer. She eventually took
her own life in September of 1996, a night hard impossible to forget for
those of us on the old CFS-L & CFIDS-L lists who had come to know her.
I hope that these can be well used.
In memory of Joan,
Jean Harrison
