"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.

Better Late Than Never: Four years after 9/11 and anthrax attacks, and the debate on smallpox vaccine and bioterrorism preparedness - when public health officials and experts assured us that the best preparedness was local quarantine and vaccination should there ever be a smallpox attack - the CDC releases a software program to help local pulbic health officials plan a vaccination clinic. If nothing else, maybe this avian flu scare will prod our public health officials to actually put contingency plans in place for an infectious disease epidemic - be it the influenza or bioterrorism. posted by Sydney on
