"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.
"Opinions are like sphincters, everyone has one." - Chris Rangel
And The Hype Goes On: The CDC and CNN continue to feed the fire of West Nile hype, using phrases like “fearing the virus could soon reach the West Coast,” (they've always said it eventually would) and recommending that hunters avoid touching dead birds, even though it isn’t known to be transferred from dead birds to people. They go on to catalog the most recent cases, two of whom died, but most of whom haven’t even required hospitalization. Jeesh. And these are the people who think they could calmly handle a smallpox outbreak with limited vaccination. posted by Sydney on
