There is a risk, and the U.S. is way past overdue for an overhaul of our healthcare non-system. That said, probably 95% or more of medical reporting to the public is done in such a poor manner that it does lots more harm than good. Journalists typically have way too little science background, and the panic-of-the-week is a corollary of the dictum "if it bleeds it leads."
