"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
Broadening the Scope: The CDC is finally reaching out to practicing physicians to educate them about smallpox and smallpox vaccine. Officials announced an unprecedented mailing of smallpox information packets to 3.5 million doctors nationwide. It’s a step in the right direction.
They’ve also updated their physician webpage to include physician registration for email updates on bioterror preparedness, and how to tell if a smallpox vaccine has takenhold in both first time and repeat recipients. Lots of good information there. And what a relief to see them finally taking steps to include those most likely to be involved in a smallpox attack. posted by Sydney on
