1. Governments Spend Swine Flu Panic Billions On Common Cold
Most cases believed to be H1N1 are actually
the common cold or another flu-like bug

Public health officials are warning the wave of H1N1 this fall is not nearly as widespread as suspected. Last week in Ontario, fewer than one in four cases of suspected H1N1 tested positive in laboratory analysis. In British Columbia, the rate was one in three. The rest, based on samples, were mostly rhinovirus – the common cold – and enterovirus, a common flu-like bug. “We have been notoriously inaccurate,” said Michael Gardam, director of infectious disease prevention at Ontario's Agency for Health Protection and Promotion. That means thousands of cases of suspected H1N1 could be something else entirely. Even when the second wave of the virus was peaking a month ago, only half of the cases tested positive when examined in a lab.

2. New York Times Psychosurgery Promo - Here We Go Again

True to an ignoble tradition of lending its 'authoritative' front page to promote psychiatry's most radical experimental approaches to dealing with patients disabled by mental illness, a front and center article in The New York Times sends an optimistic positive spin on psychiatry's current spate of experimental brain surgeries. Why did the New York Times, once again, see fit to publicize high risk, radical surgical procedures that demonstrably cause at least half of the patients serious long-term debilitating adverse effects that undermine their quality of life? The invariably positive claims made by proponents of neurosurgery are explained by the inherent bias of these stakeholders. Dr Paul Root Wolpe, a medical ethicist at Emory University, reminds readers, "It was not so long ago," he noted, "that doctors considered the frontal lobotomy a major advance — only to learn that the operation left thousands of patients with irreversible br ain damage."
