I agree with your implication that diseases should be treated medically and not politically, but the coverage of SARS is definitely driving policy here.

Just for some perspective... I have a client who is a well known gastroenterologist. Did you know that bleeding complications from aspirin use (or other NSAIDS) cause 300 hospitalizations every day in the US and thousands of deaths each year!? (Don't remember the exact number, but it's b/w 30K and 60K). It has an equivalent rate to lymphoma and AIDS deaths! It's one of the top five.

Oh boy I didn't know that. They surely donot speakmuch about it. I am glad I don't use aspirin. I guess someone does not want to go out of bussines.
