A good perspective on a worthless scare. Apologies for posting another Stossel video but a cursory evaluation of existing research reinforces his points.
Remember scientists, like everyone else, compete for limited resources, namely money, the universal resource. If they can produce an imminent threat, they will recieve more money from people who don't know enough refute them. Although I doubt they do this with the idea of scamming the government in mind, people do have a tendency to rationalize things to fit their needs. I, myself have done this many times. Please consider all the information available before forming an opinion.
