    Heart disease and stroke are the world’s biggest killers. Millions of people in
Britain take cholesterol-lowering drugs to reduce their risk. Now scientists from
the Netherlands Organisation of Applied Scientific Research believe they may
have found an alternative treatment. It’s a vaccine that helps the
body’s immune system get rid of bad cholesterol from the blood. The first
human trials are now under way, but researchers say it will take six years
before they know if the jab is safe and effective enough to get regulatory
approval.

Letters Children and Guns

Published: May 7, 2013

To the Editor: Re “Girl’s Death by Gunshot Is Rejected as Symbol” (news

article, May 6):

I find it abhorrent that the people of Burkesville, Ky., are not willing to learn a
lesson from the tragic shooting of a 2-year-old girl by her 5-year-old brother. I
am not judging their lifestyle of introducing guns to children at a young age, but I
do feel that it’s irresponsible not to practice basic safety with anything potentially
lethal — guns, knives, fire and so on. How can anyone justify leaving guns lying
around, unlocked and possibly loaded, in a home with two young children? I
wish the family of the victim comfort during this difficult time, but to dismiss this
as a simple accident leaves open the potential for many more such “accidents”
to occur. I hope this doesn’t have to happen several more times for legislators
to realize that something needs to be changed.
