Errmm, pardon me for being pedantic but, re: this week's "Mr Angry" Column, it really makes my blood boil when journalists, who you might suppose would know better, cannot get their terms right. An "Antidote" is something that is taken to counteract a poison and would be entirely useless against a viral infection. However I agree with the point about people cashing in on the misery of others. In an ideal world treatment would be free at the point of need. Hmmmm? Now where have I heard that before?
