"When many cures are offered for a disease, it means the disease is not curable" -Anton Chekhov
''Once you tell people there's a cure for something, the more likely they are to pressure doctors to prescribe it.'' -Robert Ehrlich, drug advertising executive.

A Professional Society Speaks: One of my recurring gripes lately has been that the professional societies of organized medicine have been silent on the smallpox vaccine issue. Well, the American Academy of Family Physicians has spoken up at last. Sort of. They favor vaccination only of public health professionals who would be sent out to do the vaccinating in case of an outbreak. If the government changes their warning level about the threat of an attack, then it's OK to thinkabout a different approach. Hmmm. Why would they think the government could predict such an attack any better than they predicted 9/11? posted by Sydney on
