Howdy BOYZ!
Because I knew you would corrupt an honest effort on my part to fairly represent the scientific evidence in this case, I brought along my laptop so that I could respond to YOUR drivel while on my trip!
Dr. Turner is incompetent? I think you should reconsider that opinion. Here is a list of Dr. Turner's RECENTpublications on rhinovirus vs. Dr. Hirt's:

These papers were copied from Pub Med. Seems rather skewed doesn't it? The only other papers Dr. Hirt has published in the last year was on ethanol metabolism.
I ask you, who is the better judge of a valid clinical study on Ziscam?
Go ahead Mikey, spew your idiocy. Only the truly insane would believe you.
By the way, Dr. Turner didn't just say that the results had to be repeated. He said, and I quote, that "the design was flawed"! |
