I like how she says "science wasn't even as certain as it is today. It is very certain today" and ignores the fact that science is very certain also of all the things they refused to accept like evolution, big bang, climate change...

Meanwhile yes, get vaccinated. Even if the studies against it were true, it in the end would mean less overall complications and deaths by more and more people not being vaccinated because religious nut jobs say not to and spread false information. Even at Copland's mega church, one of the biggest anti-vax churches in the country is now encouraging vaccination after an outbreak there, though they blame it on somebody visiting the church who had it... which is of course the f'n point, to be immune when, if somebody who has it, comes by.

Even nearly 11 years ago when my eldest son was born, we had a moment of skepticism over it, but in the end decided to risk it. He did end up with Aspergers, but we don't blame the vaccinations. And his own personal hard work (and those around him), he no longer needs an IEP or regular counseling. Even if it was remotely possible that the Aspergers came from it, still better the risk of that than the risk of what would happen if nobody was vaccinated and he got measles. The right loves showing pictures of the twin towers as justification for torture, how about seeing pictures of children with measles before the vaccine came out?

Wonderful! This video was posted on the day I signed up for VideoSift and was, if I remember correctly, the first video I voted up.

Here's the original for comparison:

I think that the opening music was "Fanfare for the common man", written by Aaron Copland and recorded, amongst others, by Emerson Lake and Palmer.


Not even close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OLWgrr671g&feature=related

Sounds more like the theme music for Red vs Blue...

(EDIT) I'm terribly sorry wildsnaps, I thought we were talking about the very beginning music. You are more than correct on the episode's music. After watching once, I only listened to the first couple seconds.
