Oh, please...Only in the fervid imaginations of Big Pharma ad copywriters has any disease ever been "eradicated by vaccine". Of course, some diseases can be said to have been "officially eradicated", but that only means that some "official" at CDC has declared such nonsense.
The author has let his anti-religious bias led him into reiterating some mainstream media account of "official" anti-vaccine cocktail heresy being punished by an outbreak of an "officially eradicated" disease.
This is actually a totally unconvincing "news story". Was it lifted verbatim from a mainstream source?
Oh, Lord. Another thread hijacked by the bickering tads. What IS this world coming to?
Kids, the article is about a frivolous lawsuit brought by a deputy who got a few lumps in the line of duty. It isn't about the old McD's coffee lawsuit.
"Pursuing a personal injury lawsuit against someone else simply because the person who actually injured you is a new low bar for vindictive pettiness."
Tim, I don't understand this sentence. Maybe a few words are missing in the final draft. Good article, nonetheless.
"
Not the *entire* system, since the public has the ultimate oversight authority."
I take it you mean that 'we are the government' and can exercise power. How do we do that? Voting for one or the other of two indistinguishable candidates hasn't been working for me. Maybe you have another way in mind.
