Why
@sciam keeps publishing Horgan's contrarian trolling, I still can't figure out.2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -
Horgan: "For example...Gleevec, is “an especially effective treatment” for one type of leukemia, Stegenga says. But Gleevec has 'severe adverse effects, including nausea, headaches, severe cardiac failure and delayed growth in children.'" Yeah, but it cures the disease!
