Re: free speech



A similar problem to the one Mike discusses has occurred with parents refusing to have their children immunized against whooping cough.  Consumers' reports has even discussed the problem.  Another example was the scare a few years ago that the amalgam in dental fillings was causing mercury poisoning.

One of the real, actual, existing public health problems is the increase in "exotic" infections that are antibiotic-resistant.  The anti-food irradiation and anti-sterilization-by-irradiation crowd has had some impact there
