These interviews were very interesting. I've transcribed the parts I found most interesting. Note that I wasn't 100% accurate with the transcriptions. Reworded some parts to make them clearer or more succinct, and skipped some parts, and may not have put [...] at every part I skipped.

Yeah, they say that in the above paper:
But still, I don't see why similar vaccines aren't tested. I'd be very surprised if that's the only possible vaccine that could provide a benefit. Some people with ME/CFS even report a temporary benefit from the COVID vaccine.
OMF posted an interview with Chris Armstrong @MelbME.
"Neuroinflammation, altered cerebral blood, and dysregulated hormones have all been separately observed in ME/CFS in prior research.
Dr. Armstrong and his team at OMF’s Melbourne ME/CFS Collaboration have designed a study to examine the...
How has this not been tested again?
I found this group's results cited as recently as 2018 and 2022, with no mention of newer studies on the vaccine.

In 2009, there was a full text of what appears to be the same study, but with a differently worded abstract, published in Bulletin of the IACFS/ME:

Thanks, I made a thread for that: Long-Term Treatment with a Staphylococcus Toxoid Vaccine in Patients with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 2004, Gottfries et al
I was thinking it'd need to be a vaccine to whatever is persistent, but I suppose it might work to just give a vaccine...

My brother had what I think is a good idea when I sent him this study: could the immune response to a persistent virus be "supercharged" with vaccine boosters? Maybe by giving them at more frequent or larger doses than are typically used for prevention?
It seems so simple, but also, as far as I...
The consequences of SARS-CoV-2 within-host persistence

SARS-CoV-2 causes an acute respiratory tract infection that resolves in most people in less than a month. Yet some people with severely weakened immune systems fail to clear the...
REVERSE LC is a study to see if an FDA-approved drug called Baricitinib (ber-uh-sit-uh-nib), which is already used to treat COVID, can help improve thinking and memory problems and reduce fatigue for people who have Long COVID.
Who Can Participate?
Adults 18 and older who have had thinking and...
Good points. Since it's a preprint, it might be worth contacting the authors to ask they add that to the limitations.
I don't think I have the energy to do that right now, unless you're okay with me quoting most of your post in the email. Or feel free to email them if you want.
