    The information is passed genetically, and critical thinking skills are taught.

    Evolution doesn't really enter into it.

    It isn't Darwin, it's evolution. We know so much about evolution, so many predictions accurately made, so many fossil that if we found a book tomorrow that says Darwin made it all up as a joke, it wouldn't change evolutionary theory at all.

    To use Darwin, or Darwinism in place of evolutionary biology it a trick anti-science people do to use Ad Hom attacks .

    / Now if we could find a disease that only impacts people who think the road is only for them.

    You should be sterilized and have you children taken away. Then be shunned by people who actually think.

    You're logic is not as many people die from A then from B so we shouldn't prevent A

    ". The reason is that when the numbers are hashed out, there is more danger from chicken pox if everyone gets the vaccine than if no one does"
    Cite? of course not you stupid pig.

    " People don't get it as children when it is a mild disease that has a death rate similar to riding a bus to school or high school football."
    IT is NOT mild. Causes death, brain damage, scaring and shingles later in life. AND older people loose there immunity to it in this case as well.

    FUCK YOU. Ignorant SOBs like you spewing their ignorant information are killing children, and causing actual experts to wast their time to try and correct the misinformation you limp wristed cum stain spread.
    Harsh, yes but I have watched children die from illness that are preventable. Why? because some cock sucker like you didn't get their child vaccinated and passed to a child to young to get the vaccine.

    "Those with the best immune system will survive, which is a good thing for the species in the long run."
    You could have just said you don't know anything about the immune system and evolution You didn't need to actually write a sentence that's stupid.

    "Spending the money and resources on vaccination programs with only a marginal benefit seems like a bad idea when there are more serious diseases out there."
    Huge benefit, not marginal.

    ".., they would have caught the disease naturally as a child and would be safe now."
    Immunity doesn't last for ever, and many of those people would be dead or disabled.

    " By reducing the risk marginally for most, we have increased it substantially for some."
    False. It wasn't marginal, it was high, not substantially, marginal.

    tl;dr: You are an ignorant fool that needs to STFU until you have at better marginal understanding of what the fuck you are talking about.

    People depend on experts for things, and when the experts turn out to be incompetent, or taking bribes from the Realtors broker, there isn't a way to know whats' going on.

    Also, in many cases the purchaser doesn't pay for or provide the inspector.

    No. It's far easier to kill more people quicker with chemical agents. Of course, it depends on the agent.

    Chemical weapons can kill more people, impact other nations, and shows a level of 'we don't care who we kill' mentality.

    "I guarantee that we will kill/cripple more civilians in a war than they have killed/crippled with chemicals."
    You're not comparing the same thing. I guarantee the cost and effort to kill those 1300 people was far easier and cheaper then bombs and billets.
