Medical men in Europe, and especially Scandinavia, look at the reports on their BCG programs and see "proof" that the vaccine is effective in conferring immunity. Doctors in the U.S. look at the same reports (supposedly scientific, and therefore objective) and sneer: it's no good.

At this cavalier treatment, Debra smolders and Granger burns, but all Taylor does is sneer and menacingly crook his itchy trigger finger. However, the showdown must be deferred, since...
...employment, Dreiser's philosophy of poverty is in eclipse. Few today will respect his ultimate decision, but it must be conceded that his fiction came from deep in American life. Dreiser could not bear a world in which beloved brothers could die friendless, in which foreign aristocrats could sneer, wax rich and make wars, in which women-as in An American Tragedy-could be murdered because they became pregnant at socially inappropriate times...
