"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
Thought for the Day: "The idea that the government would withhold the only effective means of protecting the population from a terrible disease until an epidemic is confirmed is new to public health. Prevention, in this new concept, obviously has no meaning for the `sentinel' Americans who will become ill and die of smallpox as trigger for the government's response. That is not good public health, and is certainly not good protection from bioterrorism." - J. Donald Millar, former director of the smallpox-eradication program of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. posted by Sydney on
