Original Note:
This tweet makes a largely unsubstantiated claim that multiple sclerosis is "long Epstein-Barr" viral infection. While a recent study has found that EBV is a strong risk factor, most people with EBV do not develop MS, and many with MS never had EBV. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj8222
