Well whether or not that particular statistic in that particular article was debunked or not, based on a google search, the story still has merit and apparently "bug chasing" is a very real phenomena. After looking at some of the references it appears that the only real point of dispute was the number.
I never denied that bug chasing is a real phenomenon, for God knows why. I stated that the article you cited was less than truthful in many aspects, specifically the 25% of new infections number cited.
I'll take a look at the other links you posted. Thanks.
