you're right FG.
they didn't tell US anything. but maybe putting something before the public will help with some awareness.

they hardly have time for the news let alone anything in depth on another topic.

it was poorly done.
it's too bad that i've seen nothing on tv about the capitol etc.

CNN showed the Senate testimony of Weyman Johnson, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National MS Society on Capitol Hill last week and there were some who complained about his testimony. You can't please everyone, I guess. He was very good!

Saw this segment too. I don't usually watch the news on NBC, but was interested to do so when I saw this thread earlier.

When they presented the ideas behind why they think more women than men get auto immune diseases, my hubby went haywire. He said some things that I will not repeat in polite company.

I agree it was very poorly done. I wish they had done the focus a little differently. They are getting the info out there, but this has added another thing we may have to explain when trying to educate others.

I am not the only one who thinks it was poorly done and posted a comment.

Thanks Cheryl
Your comment was just perfect. I appreciate you having our backs.
