Komaroff's comments read like a parody. Personal clinical experience with ONE patient vs. n=100 double-blind placebo controlled trial.

LOCOMOTION :rofl:

I think she means us paying attention to our symptoms. They believe that causes us to blow them out of proportion and become disabled.

They won't. People who can pay will pay, the rest will be left to suffer and die.
