... what a sheer waste of valuable manpower and resources! People are already aware of these risks. If the PMA has money to spare on crappy propaganda like that, then it ought, INSTEAD, to let doctors, nurses and ancillary workers get on with the job they're paid to do - treating those with serious, life-threatening illnesses - and plough any excess into funding free and/or subsidised care for the most needy.
