Hi Larry, My perception is that there is a sizable segment of the population that is inclined to distrust the medical establishment no matter how perfectly the latter perform or whether damning revelations are publicized or not. I think the term was "medical tyranny." I tend to trust authority, but not require of it perfection.

But don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. As Lucillius said, "O quantum est in rebus inane.". What folly there is in human affairs. All our endeavors have a certain ramshackle, improvisatory aspect to them..public health is no exception!
