Google Trends: CCSVI

Will CCSVI become extinct? #MSBlog #MSResearch

"CCSVI continues to trend downwards. It's so interesting studying social phenomena, such as CCSVI, using the Google Trends tool."

"CCSVI is behaving like an infectious disease with an epicenter, in fact two epicenters, that spread and contract. Recent scientific findings, the equivalent of a vaccine, have lead to a dramatic waning in the number of new infections. The real question is whether or not CCSVI will become extinct?"

"The concept of a social construct behaving like and infectious agent is not new and there is a large literature on the topic. In this context CCSVI can be referred to as a meme; a meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."
