The NEJM or JAMA will publish. Maybe not on your or my time frame but they will publish.

Tell me, how can you be so sure of this? You're only talking about the two most selective medical journals in the world, with rejection rates of about 90%. It's safe to say that many perfectly legitimate, non-controversial studies are rejected on a monthly basis. Unless you are Dr. Hensley or Dr. Davidson posting under a pseudonym, which I highly doubt, you have no way of knowing and absolutely no basis for claiming the above statements as fact.

That's the really good part of all of this. The Zicam article may have been rejected months ago and none of us will ever know, until and unless it gets published somewhere else. It's what every good shill wants for Christmas: a bullish case that is impossible to prove wrong.
