re: #572 cronus

Carl Zimmer has the latest on swine flu according to Huff Post:

The Swine Flu Is All In Your Head: Is Anyone Awake At the Huffington Post?

Another in a series of ignorance being promoted by the Huffington Post. Unbelievable is an understatements if you read this quote from Marianne Williamson:

So don’t be fooled when it comes to this conversation about the swine flu. This flu wasn’t created on the level of the body, because no disease is. It was created on the level of the mind, and it is there that we will root it out at the causal level.

Not only is she saying that the swine flu was “created” but that it “created on the level of the mind.” Basically she’s saying it’s a “spiritual disease” or a psycho-somatic illness.

Coming up next on Huffington Post: voodoo cures and swine flu exorcisms.
