This is a chapter from Bad Science by Ben Goldacre. About the anti-anti retroviral drug situation in South Africa. Shows the dangerous of the fuzzy thinking we all know and love - truly disturbing.

Wow...

I read it, and I urge everyone else to read it.

It's actually a pretty fast and light read. The 18 pages are small ones, so you'll be through it quickly.

I find the point he makes near the end to be particularly interesting, as it pertains directly to the evolution vs creationism debate.

Go read!

Yeah, you have to stand up and disagree with these people, even if they're going to try and silence you.

I love the jab he makes at the start - If you're suing Medecins Sans Frontieres, you're probably on the wrong side.
Priceless :lol:

btw, I tried to attach the pdf version to this thread but I couldn't get it to work, so it's just the hyperlink unfortunately.

Heh, yeah, it is actually an entertaining and engaging read at times.

I think people will be able to find the chapter from your link.
I mean, if I can do it, just about everyone else can.
