Infection Quotations
No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power. Jacob Bronowski In childhood I developed a serious throat infection, and my heart stopped beating. I recovered from that illness with a voice that boomed forth like Kate Smith's! Patsy Cline Thought is an infection. In the case of certain thoughts, it becomes an epidemic. Wallace Stevens My proposal now is to test a vaccine first on people who have been infected, and if you show some efficacy at this level, you might be able to go further to study uninfected people in a population with a high rate of infection. Luc Montagnier Our goal is not to completely eradicate the infection - that would be very difficult - but to produce a vaccine that will prevent not infection but disease. I think this is more possible. Luc Montagnier HIV infection and AIDS is growing - but so too is public apathy. We have already lost too many friends and colleagues. David Geffen What seems to be clear to me is that after the primary infection most of the cells die indirectly, but at the later stage, when the viral load is very high, the virus kills a lot of cells directly. Luc Montagnier One out of every 100 American men is HIV positive. The rate of infection has reached epidemic proportions in 40 developing nations. Philip Emeagwali I almost had to have my leg amputated because of an infection. Dick Dale Well, I had a small degree, that little infection of skepticism about America which resides in the minds of even America's closest friends. That America can't be quite as good as it says it is. And why does it need so relentlessly to keep saying how good it is? Robert MacNeil |
