and this new disease -- three and a half months, we've had it. More science has been done for this disease in this short period of time, but we don't understand fully the epidemiology of the virus, the immune response, what's protective, which is the best animal model. All of that is being worked on by science and at breakneck pace,

Here I'm really using the tools of one academic discipline to think about problems of another. So we think, first and foremost, AIDS is a policy issue.

Joel Fuhrman
American Scientist
The vast preponderance of evidence in modern epidemiology shows that those who eat more whole plant foods and fewer animal products and processed foods have lower rates of chronic disease and longer lifespans.

Robert T. Bakker
American Scientist

Jill Lepore
American Historian
Germ theory, which secularized infectious disease, had a side effect: it sacralized epidemiology.
