DY: The USA Today spent the past few months detailing this guy’s sordid and evil history. I don’t advise reading it unless you have a strong stomach. But he is using this poor family as a pawn to make himself look good in the public eye and make the FDA look like Big Brother who doesn’t care if kids die. Perpetuating that idea is dangerous to the public at large.
Mammele: I have thought of that. Here is my perspective. Of course the family wants it signed. Of course they want the treatment. Anyone in a hopeless situation will grab for whatever any smooth-talking charlatan tries to tell them. It’s human nature. However, we, as this family’s nation, are disconnected enough from the direct pain to be able to be objective. And we, because we love this family, have to be able to step up in defense of this family–by protecting them from the vile quack who is preying on them.
