Small pox is gone. So yes, eradication is possible given persistence and commitment.

Weaker than natures wrath? That is some mighty fine grandstanding there, going for the nomination of best dramatic comment . Frankly, medicine and food are the two most important areas science has advanced. For instance, mortality rates for mothers giving birth is less than 1%, down from nearly 10% so many years ago. And this malevolent force of nature to which you refer hasn't struck every first born yet.


I agree with the jist of your comment mostly, though. If my child just got diagnosed with autism, I would be looking for answers, and vaccines would seem to be a smart place to look, strange men in lab coats poking children with needles is an easy target.

Awesome stuff.
I hate with a passion those who espouse not giving their kids vaccinations, especially those who do so based on here-say or what a 'friend told them' without ever looking into it.
Vaccines keep us safe, they have eradicated many diseases that would otherwise be killing us by the thousands or millions.
So while it's good to keep a sceptical eye on things at all times stopping things like vaccines without having any fricken idea why you are other than some uninformed dicks told you it was dangerous is just horrendous.
It's the same people who take homoeopathic medicines instead of actually doing anything to get cured of life threatening illnesses.

Eradicated diseases? No, the vaccines have suppressed many diseases, but have not eradicated them. If vaccines "Utterly destroyed" the maladies then the vaccines would no longer be needed and you would be advocating their uselessness.
The diseases are still around, and will continue to be around. Vaccines, no matter how good, will always be weaker than nature's wrath.
I blame this on the community of health and science for one reason. Autism is spiking, as are so many other diseases, and the answer to the question of why is pretty much an "I don't know the answer. But I will fail to give a possible answer that is believable, and additionally I will sell our opinion without any fanfare or exictement at all. It will be like a box of shit, but then, we don't know if it is manmade shit or not, but enjoy the shit nevertheless."
Also, if someone doesn't have the answers, people will temporarily fill in the blanks for them. It is our nature, it has been the way of man for 30 thousand years. It is how science advances (Temporary thoughts or theories.) Even the smartest, liberal minds do this everyday... So you cannot really hate people who guessed vaccines were bad.
You can however hate them now that the evidence contradicts their guesses.

Didn't set off my irony detector. Sowry.

That's a lot of fanfare for such an unremarkable piece of music.

Let me guess, you think dubstep is the height of music.

Here you go, Comrade Dag, news directly from Pravda: Apple Sells Two Million iPads in Less Than 60 Days.

I believe some sort of fanfare is in order.

I was expecting a larger fanfare!
Good point. To improve it just a tad, I've added a soundtrack.

I was expecting a larger fanfare! Trumpets! Hot Devry quality 3D graphics! Dancing ballerinas! Casio keyboards! Important VIPs! A banquet! Balloons! Busch Light!

That was fun. Yay.

It's funny how they mention the Russian firsts (i.e. unmanned/manned vehicles in space) with sinister Soviet backing music... But then the US first to the moon, also spurred by a sense of military competitiveness, is all fanfare. What they did is impressive too!

Btw, Optimus Prime was the BEST choice for narrator.

That is genius! I'm so oblivious to little things like that

I have to say..

One of my favourite parts about the trailers is probably unique.
I always enjoy listening to what they've done to the little jingle (0:43-0:47), It started off very innocently in the first movie, and eventually with OOTP was very fanfare sounding, and now it's back down to a more mysterious thing. Usually sets the tone of the movie.
