Again more of what you want to read instead of what he wrote. He states that they have identified a new virus. Can multiple viruses be present in the same animal? So you assume that since a new virus has been identified that it was the only one found?Originally Posted by Tosha_Mc
On top of him saying there is not evidence of the paramyxovirus - he does actually say - that this is the new virus. She actually at one point acknowledged it was a new virus - Dr. Gordon (according to Jen) says that the reason Dr Jacobsen is not being forthcoming with information is because he wants full credit for the research of the new virus. She is actually arguing both sides depending on what suits her.
With this Dr. Jacobsen not being forthcoming with information due to an issue dealing with personal gain I would have to count anything he puts out on this topic as suspect until all research information is brought to light! Also at the point were you give him the assumption that Jen has been selling sick snakes any real vet would be releasing information concerning this new Virus as part of their duty to preserve the life of future animals. I would be pretty irate if one of my snakes come down with the same thing and due to this doctor sitting on the information about this virus, no treatments have been developed.
Good job you just discredited your own source of information!
