God I hate arguments like that.
Bluntly, having gold medal Olympians are more important than fighting a disease that affects 8 in 100,000 people in this province. Gold medal Olympians encourage kids to get active and be in better shape, which does far more for the health of the population than the OMG! EVERYBODY PANIC!!!1 attitude medical people like to take.
