Although it may seem callous to say so, millions of Americans are lucky that Magic Johnson was infected with H.I.V. There is no way of calculating how many lives he has saved. No advertising agency could have invented a better, or more effective, role model. (Michael Specter Quotes)
I moved from Moscow to Rome with my family and two bicycles in 1998, and spent a lot of that year- and the next - obsessed, I am sorry to admit, with the bicycles.

Meat’ is a vague term and can be used to refer to many parts of an animal, including internal organs and skin.

We inherit every one of our genes, but we leave the womb without a single microbe. As we pass through our mother’s birth canal, we begin to attract entire colonies of bacteria. By the time a child can crawl, he has been blanketed by an enormous, unseen cloud of microorganisms - a hundred trillion or more. (Michael Specter Quotes)
I have never earned one penny from any pharmaceutical company. I will never accept one penny from them either. Ever (Michael Specter Quotes)
People wrap themselves in their beliefs. And they do it in such a way that you can’t set them free. Not even the truth will set them free (Michael Specter Quotes)
Be sceptical, ask questions, demand proof. Demand evidence. Don’t take anything for granted. But here’s the thing: When you get proof, you need to accept the proof. And we’re not that good at doing that (Michael Specter Quotes)
