Contrary to the way intelligent people expect the world to work, the big drug companies are telling the truth about something. This may require a Kuhnian revolution in thought.

I like this quote:
"Looking back over human history, rationality has been the anomaly. Being rational takes work, education, and a sober determination to avoid making hasty inferences, even when they appear to make perfect sense. Much like infectious diseases themselves — beaten back by decades of effort to vaccinate the populace — the irrational lingers just below the surface, waiting for us to let down our guard."
