The Placebo Effect
Whenever we travel, the wife and I usually take an Airborne in hopes of fighting off a cold for vacation. Since we've been doing this we haven't been sick on vacation. Now there seems to be a lawsuit in the works against the makers of Airborne. I've heard that their "clinical trials" may not be all scientifically rigorous (to put it gently) and that it may not do much of anything at all. Maybe it's just an overpriced vitamin with potentially dangerous levels of vitamin A. My question is this: if it stops working for me, can I sue the lawyers bringing the class action suit for ruining my perfectly good placebo effect? With everybody suing everybody else I should be able to get some money too.
