A big mistake - and all-too-common - is to assign probabilities to propositions, then dismiss them based upon that speculative assessment. Many may deem it unlikely that their government would use flu vaccines to nefarious ends, and so wave away that suggestion by saying, "Come on, that's not going to happen!" But "Come on..." is not a valid refutation. It can happen - it is within the realm of possibility; and not wholly unlikely, given the historical atrocities perpetrated by governments.

What's more, it's entirely within our power to mitigate that possibility by not blindly running with the herd as led by mass media and the prevailing cultural paradigm. Use of the gift of intellect is a natural responsibility that each person bears. To pretend to abdicate responsibility (it can never be truly abdicated) is to become the slave of he to whom the responsibility is abdicated.

Thank you for reading my post and for sharing your thoughts - it's much appreciated! Enjoy the day.
