??? A "vampire facial" is a procedure during which blood is drawn with a needle and then "spun" to separate the plasma, which is then injected into the face.?? For customers of a spa in Albuquerque, New Mexico, though, the most lasting effects may come after a blood test.?? The state's Department of Health is urging customers of VIP Spa, which closed in September 2018, to undergo HIV testing after two people were infected following treatment there.?? Dr. Dean Bair of the Bair Medical Spa said people should always make sure they're going to a licensed facility for such procedures.?? "This is just the worst example of what can go wrong," he told KOAT.?? The spa closed after inspectors found the spa's practices could potentially spread blood-borne infections, including hepatitis B and C as well as HIV. [KOAT, 4/30/2019]

???Modern monetary theory??? is the latest craze to circulate among the chattering classes. It is a fuzzy, post-Keynesian theory that has caught on in antiausterity circles. The MMT doctrine states that fiscal deficits don???t matter as long as countries borrow in their own currencies and inflation stays in check. This is like manna from heaven for proponents of more government spending and larger fiscal deficits.
