Alex,
Regarding this:
>According to a new Johns Hopkins University study just published on the online site of the respected British medical journal, The Lancet.<
I was listening to the Preznit's press conference this morning, and his defense was that "the methodology used [in this study] has been discredited."
I thought that was hillarious. As a scientist and someone who has been involved in many clinical trials, I find it hard to believe that the methodology used in a peer-reviewed paper published by one of the most widely respected medical journals had significant methodological flaws, at least in comparison to politically motivated magic numbers like 30,000.
He's an idiot and a liar.
