Some say evil requires intelligence. To carry out cunning and sociopathic deeds against others is the mark of a person with smarts- albeit a warped, misguided, and hurtful kind of smart- but a modicum of intelligence nonetheless. These individuals are everywhere: schools, hospitals. Even our government. (Oh, but it’s true.)

However, evil is curiously absent in some dental practices:

For the folks who followed around this poor guy with a can of Lysol due to his HIV+ status, I offer you a gift- a gift of knowledge that transcends any foul yet humorously stupid acts of malice that have been carried out against a human being for carrying a disease.

Ahem….

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host!!!!

Knowledge is indeed power. If only scientists would develop the first experimental can of anti-dolt aerosol; but, then again, there wouldn’t be enough to cleanse the dumb away.

Happy New Year, everyone! DentalBuzz is baaaa-aack!
