I never tried or looked into Rust. Can you explain to me what is 'unsafe' section is and how necessary is it? Is the issue that Rust checks were intentionally subverted by some idiot or is that Rust is not usable/cannot accomplish what you need to do in most cases and you have to use 'unsafe' section?

We either live in a society where you have body autonomy or we don't. You advocate for latter case for reasons. This means "Gonna have to get vaxxed." is a small step away from being forced to lose some weight, stop smoking and drinking, eat less meat and go to bed early. For you Own Good Citizen! The issue is that "functioning society" or greater good or whatever is never defined. Last but not least, in case of vaccinations, if a vaccine is effective and you are vaccinated, what does it matter if others are not? If vaccine is not effective, what right do you have to demand others take risk of taking it?

In a vast majority of cases vaccinations do not confer sterilizing immunity (where you can't get the disease and therefore won't transmit). So exposing others is irrelevant, as it would happen anyways. Most vaccinations make a targeted disease, when you still get it, milder. That is well within individual choice.

When this is what passes for a scandal, things are OK.

Only things are not OK in Canada. Tariffs hurting the economy and causing prices on necessities to go up. Out of control immigration causing healthcare wait lists to double and rents in major cities are not affordable to family on median income.

While I happen to agree with a lot of what he said, right or wrong, it does not mean he caused (as in responsible for infections) any of what is being attributed to him. Epidemic in a poor country would not be that surprising even if the vaccine program was not suspended for a few months and people that died are not the same people that you could credibly claim would have gotten vaccinated if the program was running.

The key ideological divide between us is that you think that letting individuals make their own decisions, including wrong ones, should not be allowed in pursuit of some ill-defined greater good and you are not hesitant to use tyranny to achieve that. I see individuals being able to decide as manifestation of maximum freedom is the greater good and I would rather risk death than have to endure tyranny.

Fact-checking Mainstream Media.

Prasad reviewed the outbreak timeline, which he said began in July 2018. That's when two nurses killed two infants with the MMR shot after mistakenly mixing it with a paralytic rather than a saline solution.

Instead of admitting their mistake, the nurses hid the vials and tried to cover up the infants' cause of death.

When the cover-up came to light and the public learned what really caused the deaths of the two infants, the revelations sparked a public outcry. The nurses were convicted of manslaughter - and the Samoan government - not Kennedy - paused Samoaâ(TM)s MMR vaccine program for 10 months.
