Dear all,
Please ask Mr Meyers to have a look at my book, "Savage Humans and
Stray Dogs: A Study in Aggression" in which I have comprehensively
proved that the APCRI's figures are tantamount to a statistical
fiction and that its finidings are compromised by a conflict of
interest issue. Many of the persons associated with it in important
capacities have been helped by pharmaceutical companies manunfacturing
anti-rabies vaccines. The sale of anti-rabies vaccines, which are
stocked by many government and municipal hospitals for free injection
to poor persons bitten by dogs, is related to statistics on the
incidence of rabies. The higher the perceived incidence the higher the
stocks, some of which are no doubt not utilised but sold to nearby
medicine shops.The higher the stocks, the higher the sales. You will
find all the details between pages 87 and 97
With warm regards
