what's even odder is the fact that in the Chicago Tribune the headline was:
Breast milk may transfer W. Nile Virus. There was maybe a paragraph on
breastfeeding -- and then a whole segment (much longer) on blood
transfusions. Why in the name of all that is good didn't the headline say,
"Blood transfusions DO transfer W. Nile Virus." No -- they had to hit on
breastfeeding -- why? Because money is made when women quit bf.
It's the money, stupid. (Again).
