We Briefly Witnessed CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding...
give Senate testimony today regarding the case of the gentleman traveling our airways with a very dangerous strain of TB (tuberculosis). After witnessing Dr. Gerberding's testimony, which of these two individuals/government officials (pictured here) would you rather see/hear give testimony to the Senate? Hmmm...think...think carefully.
Also, think about the Dept. of Homeland Security's lapse of responsibility when reading: "TB patient says he was not man on run". For some reason, we feel uncomfortable awaiting any testimony from Secretary Chertoff.
For an excellent (and somewhat frightening) science article on the history and dangers of tuberculosis, see "Dangerous History" from the May 26, 2007 edition of Science News Vol. 171, pp. 330 - 332.
