Laurie Garrett was, [him] thought, a good journalist back in the Newsdays. But she lost her magic when she joined the Council on Foreign Relations. In this piece she says about HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, cholera, tuberculosis, and malaria: “All of these could have been grossly exacerbated by the disaster.” The [him] moderator can see no connection between Nargis and most of these conditions. And she makes no mention of the real risk of other diarrheal diseases in her article.
