Otto,



Your comments were echoed by Dr. Fred Mettler in his presentation at 

the NRCP Annual Meeting this week. I concur and respect Fred's views 

on this compared to anyone else who has stated the contrary view. As 

you say, it's political propaganda to continually state the 400,000 

deaths, where there has been no evidence to support such contention.
