“If the fact does not fit, you must reject it!”
Here’s another factoid:
The August 2008 issue of The Lancet reported that research shows that the influenza vaccine is ineffective in preventing pneumonia in the elderly who have been exposed to the flu.
Preventing pneumonia as a side effect of influenza is one of the big selling features of the flu vaccine.
Now the question is, will the maker of the vaccine stop advertising this non-existent benefit?
If the fact does not fit, you must obscure it!
(Yes, this is the sum total of Johnny Cochran's legacy.)
