Because of the enormous settlements for the children who get
post-vaccinial encephalopathy (a complication that is unavoidable and
statistically predictable) no one is willing to make the vaccine unless
the government will indemnify them against the suits.  So how many
infants will have to die?  Who can they sue?  Maybe there should be a
class action suit against lawyers by the parents of those who die of
whooping cough.

Ah, but is it the lawyers who are at fault, or those who demand perfect
safety and harmlessness of everything (at least everything that isn't
"natural")?

(If this should be in net.politics, I apologize. There is fire beneath
the rhetorical question, though...)
