That vaccines (and/or Tylenol? never too clear on that) cause autism is something we should all disagree on, but that America is the most medicated (by both volume and cost) country in the world with nothing to show for it? That Big Pharma is too big? The importance of preventative healthcare? I would hope that we can all say that there’s something worth discussing there.
