Mew class if HIV drugs? How can that be anything but super?!

New class of drugs = new side effects requiring new drugs to offset unpleasant side effects = mucho dinero for those altruistic pharmaceutical companies.

Keep staring at the shiny keys, Eli. Never take your eyes off of them and question how the drug companies enrich themselves off of your belief that a retrovirus is capable of all feats virological and bacteriological. HIV can do anything researchers ask it to do.

How's the search for "patient zero" going, by the way?

Maybe you guys should re-name "Morning News" to "Headlines in the New York Times and Washington Post". Sheesh, nothing local?

I really wish that the media would actually cover nutritional science LESS. They hype every new study - often seriously distorting its findings - then hype up another study in a distorted way that appears to contradict their distorted coverage of the first one. (In real life, scientific studies contradict each other all the time; it's generally through repeated trials and refining of method that the truth is found.) Finally, people all confused and throwing up their hands and saying "Might as well eat Big Macs and deep-fried cheese all day."

I couldn't agree more tsm.

Most coverage of science in the lay press is truly terrible. Think of the "Amniotic fluid stem cell" fracas a bit ago...

ugh.
