*Ø* Dangerous Choices: Bioterrorism Vs Population Health
A stimulating Late Night Live forum on bioterrorism, public health and governmental priorities in assigning funding.
The first speaker is a bit dull, but the second, Professor Ian Lowe, is well worth hearing. Wish I had a transcript, but I memorised this bit:
Prof Lowe has some incredible statistics to report, including one that says all the world's health needs could be met with 15 per cent of the world's military budget.
Our so-called leaders aren't listening, but I hope we are.
