Apparently there's a generally prevalent 
"willing to believe" in the benefits of 
so many things, though a few seconds or 
minutes of research would reveal dangers 
in, eg: flu shots, food, environment, 
drugs in general, investments, religion, 
politics, etc. Seems to me that those 
enforced flu shots and vaccines alone 
might seriously handicap the the mental 
and physical health of north america for 
a long time to come. Seems that kids 
are becoming more and more hyperactive, 
showing symptoms of autism, attention 
deficit disorder, among other things.
