Malaria? I thought we could cure that! Those were my exact sentiments when I toured Viet Nam and Indonesia for the same agency a few years ago. The malarone (anti-malarial) medicine was making me horribly sick so – I stopped taking it. Overconfidence, it might kill you.
Pardon me for yawning at the latest headlines screaming panic over the dreaded H1N1 flu strain, which prior to its modifier make-over, was called ‘swine flu.’ It’s not that I don’t have any interest in topics of concern to my well being. It’s that I tend to take the opposite view of the Biden health prescription, which seems to be a run for the hills approach.
