You referred to QED (quantum electrodynamics), but in electrodynamics, this is obviously true, because the only massless particle that interacts with electromagnetism is the photon. But we've already shown that neutrinos don't interact with electromagnetism, so QED doesn't take a neutrino into account, because a neutrino has nothing to do with QED. Yousuf Khan
