Koop tekes tha money

Dr Koop made everyone aware of the dangers of AIDEs and Hepatitis,
When he retired he should have stayed retired. Trying to get anyone
interesed in the epidemic caused by latex allergy has been very difficult,
and the latex glove manufacturers have fought very hard, pretending that
there is no such thing as Latex Allergy. Every day I talk to people that
now believe. I am glad that there has been so much publicity on Dr.
Koop's betrayal of his fellow heath care workers, the fight is only
beginning, and the more people that about latex allergy the better
