IF you think ones personal beliefs have NO standing in who gets published and government funding then you know less that about the subject that you are spouting. AND I do not think you know who controls university settings.
The Luddites of the 19th century were a 'social' group destroying mechanized equipment to 'save' their jobs. So who is in the 'saving' business these days? There is NO correlation to a person who is required to sign a release that lets off the hook any liability for drug manufacturers who produce vaccines that are 'state' mandated.
NOW the dirty little secret is while possible side affects and reactions are given in the very fine and small print, the prescribing physician always minimizes the percentage of such affects and reactions. NOW just attempt to PROVE side affect/reactions. I get so 'sick' of television ads for the latest drug/vaccine for this or that, followed by an even longer warning as to possible side affects. Then followed by some law firm offering legal advice to collect $$$$ because of negative reactions.
Big state/drug/medical is NOT pure as the wind driven snow NO matter how much they wrap themselves in a 'saving' grace.
I know who/what the Luddites were/are. I was poking fun at you for using the term yesterday after lecturing me about its use today. Like I did yesterday, when I pointed out that you were incorrectly using the term.
I’m still laughing about it, and even moreso that you thought I’d forget about your own repeated use of that “pejorative” yesterday.
Hoisted by your own petard! ;)
