Bill Gates Continues ‘God’s Work’, Third World Vaccine Workers Shot Dead
CONCLUSION It appears that Mr. Gates will go to any lengths to vaccinate the world, even if the world makes it very clear that they do not want his vaccines. Rather than vaccinating more children, if he was such a humanitarian, why has he allowed vulnerable, sick children to be dumped in the middle of nowhere to die? Surely the world would applaud him far more loudly if he spent his millions making sure that any vaccine casualties were sufficiently cared for.   References 1. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/bill-gates/9812672/… 2. http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/dec/18/polio… 3. http://www.guardi...

Happy Valentine’s Day – A Safer Sex Reminder
Hey, it’s Valentine’s Day! Seems like a good time to revisit the topic of safer sex and sexually transmitted infections! The CDC just released a new fact sheet on STIs, indicating that there are about 20 million new infections each year, and that young people (ages 15-24) account for about half of these. In its report, CDC provided the following recommendations for women for STI screening: All adults and adolescents should be tested at least once for HIV.

An Obvious Loss: Bristol-Myers Loses A Patent Case
Patent battles are won and lost each day, but a fresh defeat for Bristol-Myers Squibb may prompt greater scrutiny of so-called composition of matter patents, which essentially refers to the mixture of two or more substances and the extent to which this is unique. In what appears to have taken some analysts by surprise, a federal court judge yesterday decided that the Bristol-Myers patent on the Baraclude hepatitis B treatment was invalid. Why? The judge ruled that this particular patent is obvious, which is a way of saying the invention would have been obvious to someone ‘skilled in the art’ of designing and de...
