Slimy

"At places like the National Institutes of Health, we choose what we study, promote, and support with public funds. By spending scarce resources to examine the effect of, say, homeopathy—the absurd supposition that 'like cures like'—we are stealing grant money from research that might actually help us understand disease. We need to remember that denialism kills people."
