Dear Mr. Kelley,

Thanks for all your legwork.

I contacted all 50 State Depts of Health last summer (and got nowhere), and
again in early March this year. So they got a chance to see our protocol
twice.

What would be ideal is if the State Depts of Health didn't avoid clinical
interventional trials like the plague, and actually helped publicize our
protocol to physicians and patients in the state, rather than just keep it
in a file. Fat lot of good it does anybody locked away in a file drawer.

They wouldn't have to lift a finger. All they'd have to do is mention our
website on their WNV page, or, better yet, provide a link to our home page.
It could be as simple as that. But I haven't found a single Dept of Health
willing to do that. Something about staying away from all clinical trials...

With this attitude, there's no way polio would have been beaten. It was the
public health authorities that led the charge in 1954. Now, they're an
infinite sink of energy and good will, a black hole where people go for help
and get none, even when help is readily available.

Yours,

Dave Moskowitz MD
