clipped from disgrasian.com Let’s look at what the “task force” has admitted to. They state that for women age 40-49, it is necessary to screen about 1900 women — to save one woman’s from dying of breast cancer. If you check the census data, you will see that there are about 22 million women in the US between the ages of 40 and 49. If these women are not screen over the next ten years, one in 1900 will die an unnecessary death from breast cancer. That works out to — about 25,000 women dead in the prime of their lives — when they could have been cured. That’s more than the combined death toil from 9/11, the Iraq war I, the Iraq war II, and the Afghanistan war. . . .in fact, it’s about twice as much. I wonder how much they’re paying the “task force” members for such wise counsel. . . .
