Here's two studies. Thanks for the feedback. I choose to bemoan those who deny it completely and will continue to do so. Not those who keep an open mind.

I would note the irony that you bemoan people for not believing something when the evidence you cite isn't there - it suggests more caution is required! From my own reading, that sums up the topic: people are open to viral theories but the proof just isn't there yet so believing it is premature. Parkinson's remains poorly understood in both mechanism and cause. It is said to be "a combination of genetic and environmental factors which might include pesticides and head injury". I imagine post-viral consequences could fit within head-injury type risk factors but we are not at a position to make statements of fact about such things.
