Rebranding health...
Fuck it. I'm tired of competing with asshats like Oprah, Larry King and Jenny McCarthy (who, have you noticed, embodies every possible stereotype she possibly could qualify for). Unless the FDA steps in an puts the squeeze on quack remedies, we can't win. So why don't we just admit publicly that vaccines and all forms of chemotherapy is really just a hoax? But then we take the initiative. Repackage the vaccine and call it, "All-natural homeopathic miracle nectar--with refined bee pollen extract to boost immunity!" Suddenly, every ridiculous sorry sack with more money than sense will actually be protected.

Dude, I've already got the definitive answer to borrowing woo-woo tactics in the name of science right here: The Tao of Skepticism. However, I do like the idea of calling vaccines miracle nectar.
Yes, I am shamelessly plugging my own post. It's only because I look up to you as a father figure with a sense of humor eerily like mine.
It's true. We would totally annoy the shit out of each other! It was like looking in a mirror. Very very funny!

So, in addition to having the great fortune of having breast cancer, I also have Fibromyalgia, and an aggressive form of arthritis called Erosive Osteoarthropathy. (Yeah, I know. Lucky me.)
I swear, if I had a dollar for every "miracle nectar" people told me would fix me, I wouldn't need fixing anymore. Because I'd be drunk in my beach home on Key West all the time, and who cares? But nobody gives me a dollar, they just give me their sales pitch. Why don't people realize that I am smart enough to realize that if refined bee pollen were the answer, my fourteen doctors would have mentioned it? Thanks for nothing, Jenny McCarthy. (And I mean that in so many ways.)
