People have been saying this about post-viral sequelae and EBV and CFS for a long time, but the evidence is just not there.
EBV is incredibly common, it is not surprising that many who have had ME/CFS would have it.
The medical world does not know how to communicate about problems that are likely coproductive of psychological and physical causes, especially in a post-AIDS patient advocacy world, simply because patients do not like hearing that there is anything psychological involved at all.

Further, there are many events which can serve as triggers. But in the cases where the other prerequisite conditions are met, EBV is usually the causal trigger.
