"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.

CDC Condescension : The CDC continues its condescending attitude toward the American public, in this comment from one of their officials on the smallpox vaccine:
Our impression is the public doesn't understand the side-effects of smallpox,'' Dr. Walter Orenstein, director of the CDC's National Immunization Program, said in a recent interview.
Explain the side-effects then, honestly, of both the vaccine and the disease and let people decide for themselves if they want to take the risk. But don’t act as if we’re too stupid to comprehend it. posted by Sydney on
