It is only the cynic who claims “to speak the truth” at all times and in all places to all men in the same way, but who, in fact, displays nothing but a lifeless image of the truth… He dons the halo of the fanatical devotee of truth who can make no allowance for human weaknesses; but, in fact, he is destroying the living truth between men. He wounds shame, desecrates mystery, breaks confidence, betrays the community in which he lives, and laughs arrogantly at the devastation he has wrought and at the human weakness which “cannot bear the truth”. Dietrich Bonhoeffer, in Ethics.

Yeah, I was hearing of several cases last year, here near home as well.

Whooping cough outbreaks correspond directly to areas of low immunization.
Thank you Jenny McCarthy and other proponents of the same nonsense. Now we get to deal again with diseases that were basically eliminated in the western world more than 50 years ago.
