MRDA stands for "Mandy Rice-Davies Applies" – dating from the time of the Profumo scandal in Britain. It would seem to apply to the recent pronouncement by the Health Professions of South Africa who today cleared the South African Health Minister of any wrongdoing over her statements about how to deal with AIDS.
It seems to me that the Health Professions of South Africa are a body who deserve to be scorned, and South Africa’s Health Minister escapes to let more South Africans die needlessly. I don’t know who I hold in more contempt.
