Maybe he just wants to sterilize them with the vaccines?

Wow - that was an incredibly dumb thing for him to say, given some of the third world's beliefs about vaccination.

The interesting thing is that no one has discussed whether saving people who would die from a disease is good for the herd. By vaccinating everyone, we are holding back the evolution of our species, which in the long term, may end up being worse than letting a few children and non-reproducing old people die.

Actually, DDT was more helpful in eradicating malaria. Then it was banned - possibly by junk science, but I think the jury is still out on that.

Your argument implies that the people that don't vaccinate their children are consciously inimical to their health, when the fact is that the parents are trying to do whats best for their children.

Heck, sixty years ago, the majority did not believe that tobacco was a carcinogen. What 'settled science' is going to be overturned in the next sixty years?

And we all know what assume does.

If vaccination really works, then it's only the unvaccinated that will be affected.

That would depend on your chances of contracting the disease. If there were 0% chance of you contracting the disease, then there would be a disincentive to take the vaccine- it would actually raise your chances of dying.

Charge a $5 tax per trade on stocks held less than 24hours. That would slow the volatility of the stock market quite a bit. We should probably have a speculation tax on commodities too, to quieten the wild swings in prices we sometimes see.

One word: Apple

It's feasible.
