And when he says "watch the fingers close, when the hands are cold," I see this as meaning that he needs to remind himself to keep it together. He needs to stay away from getting caught up in the release, and focus on the art. The release that the actual cutter receives can be too much of a good thing if too much blood leaves the body. Just as the release of emotion in art must be tamed as well, because ultimately an artist wants to harness the emotion and articulate the experience with an objective, critical eye. The risk is dropping into a self-destructive vortex. Offit’s sobering inquiry into “one of the worst biological disasters in American history” is a work of unflinching investigative journalism which lands, finally, not as a whodunit, but as a tribute to modern systems of meticulous vaccine regulation. A former Spokane, Washington cop turned private investigator takes on a case of a missing diamond cutter that leads him on an adventure of love and villainy spanning from the Nazis to the present day Mob. But here again, as so often is the case, is a person presenting wishful thinking and/or coincidence as if it were solid facts.

If the amount of live poliovirus remaining in a batch didn’t decrease as predicted when subjected to formaldehyde, then the batch risked being unsafe at the end of the period of formaldehyde exposure. And yet, if the safety tests the companies used had been sufficiently sensitive, no unsafe vaccine would ever have made it from the plant to the market; no-one would ever have come to any harm. This was a compound, complex, tragic failure. There were fatal inadequacies at multiple levels.time flies Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum Are Reportedly Engaged It’s really been two years since they started dating. By Tariro Mzezewa power All the Powerful Women on Our “Inside Power” List From a City Hall string-puller to a public housing czar. By The Editors Offit’s analysis is forensic. He determines that the key manufacturing flaw had to do with a change in the method of filtration, which he finds at more than one company. Auxiliary design and circumstantial factors made Cutter’s vaccine by far the most dangerous. But even if Cutter did no more than strictly required to ensure their vaccine was safe, Offit points out that there was no callous negligence: Cutter’s safety testers trusted their product enough to inject it into their own children. I also really love the line about "happy loss" this really meant to me the true nature of being an artist. There is some bit of a masochistic tendency I think in really good artists. They sort of enjoy suffering for their art (or cutting for that matter), as it can be a wealthy source for creative ideas. It's a necessary evil, so to speak. The pain (the cutting) creates the art (the release, or rush...but also the loss of blood...hence, the "happy loss".... sorry, I just love the metaphor) Lots of great artists have always been somewhat self-destructive, so I think there's something to that in here as well.

Paul Offit – physcian, scientist, professor of vaccinology at UPenn, professor of paediatric infectious diseases, director of the Vaccine Education Center, and author of a ridiculous number of popular non-fiction books besides – set out to sort out that foggy “somehow.” What, exactly, had gone wrong? Offit has said he was unsatisfied with suspiciously simplistic and vague suggestions that culpability rested on the shoulders of a lone, unscrupulous bad actor – Walter Ward, who oversaw production at Cutter Laboratories. Curious, Offit burrowed into the archives and emerged, some eight years later, with The Cutter Incident, a narrative far more complicated than a whodunit, but no less compelling.
