Hey, Americans...

What's with the vaccine-phobia?  Is it that you don't trust sciency-magicky-woo unless it's delivering cars, guns or porn?  Is it that you don't like being told what's good for you?  Is "herd immunity" a dirty phrase to a Rugged Individualist?  How 'bout 'civic responsibility'?  Did anyone teach anyone that the plural of 'anecdote' is not 'data'?

Tricky moral question for ten points:  If personal freedom is good, and your freedom to swing your first ends at my nose, how about your freedom to stay a seething sump of infection compromising general immunity in the population at large?  Or is that too fecking socialist a concept?

What dreadful board have you been inflicting upon yourself this time? Go read some SYB. That'll cheer you up.
