[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A Nobel Prize winning scientist supports the state quarantines, apparently. That's kind of science-y, I guess.[/quote] A Nobel prize winning scientist thought massive doses of vitamin C could prevent cancer and followed his own advice. Turns out massive doses of vitamin C increase your risk of cancer, and thats what he died of. Believing something because one scientist (what is his area? if its not infectious diseases, I don't care) is sciency. Its not science.[/quote] Director of the Center for the Genetics of Host Defense at a medical center in Texas. Basically, all he is doing is expressing some skepticism about the notion that we know everything we need to know about the approach toward quarantining. I'd take his opinion over those whose science experience ended with biology or geology lab in college, for instance (which I'm guessing is many people). It's just one competing view.[/quote]
