No. Never question authority. They are always right.

Everyone would like to think that the ability to get irony and sarcasm has something to do with being smart — it just makes sense, after all, that picking up on the subtle cues that a statement isn’t meant to be taken at face value has something to do with intelligence, or discernment, or something like that. And god knows when we don’t pick up on a sarcastic remark, we definitely feel dumb. While I suspect that there’s probably something to that, some recent research published in Frontiers in Psychology suggests that, in children at least, the ability to understand irony and sarcasm appears to be related to the child’s ability to empathize with others.

Coming from the same hypocrite that said anyone concerned with Ebola in the US was nuts. But, following her logic, would be all for forced injections of an Ebola vaccine so long as the government was in charge of the decision :zz:

Go figure.

putting words in my mouth, and irrelevant.

so we should jettison best practice with regard to vaccines because the government isn't always correct or trustworthy?

No. Never.
