Chronic fatigue syndrome may have a post-viral infection origin

Yes please do some thinking. There's a condition called Factitious disorder and then there's also anxiety based hypochondria bud.

You're making an objectively FALSE statement. There is ZERO possibility that there's no person in the world faking CFS.

Thanks for the laugh. It's hilarious that you tried to accuse me of an emotional argument.

You can drop the strawman bullshit as well. I never gave a number on how many people are faking it or just being hypochondriacs.

Nowhere does my comment state that no one is faking. You've simply left reality in favor of a fantasy.

This is what I said:

> collectively, we don't know enough about CFS or the human brain to make definitive statements like 'a large number are faking it.'

This is what it means:

We don't know enough to quantify the ratio of fakers.

'A large number are faking it' is a type of quantification: a ratio. In this case, a descriptive ratio that uses the words "large number" instead of literal numbers.
