<<<>>>>>>>>>Not really. There was a story going around
relating to the CDC trials opened in response to
a major outbreak of Hepatitis B in the
mid-to-late seventies in the gay bathhouses of
most of the major US cities. Supposedly, the
guy the CDC tapped to run these trials was not
himself an epidemiologist, nor did he have any
prior connections with CDC. Rather he was an
ex German Army bioweapons expert, named
Wolf Szmuness, I think. Some people found
that odd, but nobody found anything conclusive.
It's obviously a subject that inspires a lot of
passionate emotions, all across the spectrum.
