32. You don't seem to understand that the disease in children is extremely rare.
By accident -- through a blog -- they have already uncovered 3 cases -- which is the same number that would be predicted in a total sample of 5 million girls. How many more cases would be uncovered if researchers were given the means to actually look? NO ONE KNOWS. How can you be comfortable with that?

These adverse effect forms were difficult for even two UCal professors and their doctors to understand and fill out. (There wasn't even a place to list a diagnosis.) How can you be assured that Jenny Tetlock's and the other two cases aren't just the tip of the iceberg?

How can you be so confident that the Director of the ALS center at the University of California is wrong -- and you are right?
