[Remember remember the 5th of November]

Haven't you heard? Fungal Meningitis is responsible for a dozen of terrorist attacks, money laundering operations, human trafficking, crimes against humanity.

I don't get it. 64 dead and 687 injured from contaminated medication? That sounds like something worthy of investigation by the FBI. What's so controversial about that?

It is worthy of investigation, but who is in charge of it gives me pause:  the incompetent and repulsive Carmen Ortiz, who is notorious for overcharging crimes.  She is the bitch who drove Aaron Swartz to suicide.

Reminds me of 1960 or '61, when the medical quietly rewrote the symptoms of polio into the symptoms for spinal meningitis, just so that their polio cure rate would look a whole lot better. Then they quietly contained the spinal meningitis outbreak, effectively keeping it out of the major news. Where was the FBI then?
