Talk:Index case (medicine)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Removed from the article: "Among other things, Shilts had made up conversations that portrayed Dugas as either reckless about the possibility that he might be spreading the disease or actually vengeful about it (although there was no possibility that he could ever harm the man who had infected him, who was probably dead)."

Accusing a journalist (dead or alive) of making things up is an incredibly serious allegation. If something like this is going to be stated as fact, it really needs to be attributed to someone who made the claim and backed up by a reference. Jsnell 19:55, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
