I paused over a Wall Street Journal item for today: "DECONGESTANT IN COLD MEDICINES FOUND INEFFECTIVE."
Basically, for several dozen cold medications in the US.....they never had any effective 'power'.
If you'd asked me about in 1980....to recommend anything....I'd say most did almost nothing. Same in the 1990s, and for the whole past 20 years.
How much have I wasted? Probably well over $1,000 since August of 1977.
What'll happen? I'd say almost 95-percent of people will continue on....buying the same crap.

First I heard of it, so naturally...
...a few moments research shows hundreds of identical stories:
* "Decongestant Ineffective!"
My skeptical nature automatically thinks 'scam'.
Maybe less than the scale of the evaporated half-trillion in the Ukraine 'foreign-aid skim-scam'.
Certainly less than the evaporated several trillion during the Cheney days... and the 'perfectly-crashed airliner into the only Pentagon room with the only evidence' scam.

By lunch tomorrow, I bet some wisenhymer will conjugalize dozens of identically-scripted talking-heads, each solemnly uttering the sad sad BreakingNews™.
