Tetanus and polio do horrifying things to the body; measles and mumps are sort of mid-level, right? And something like chicken pox has a vaccine now, but is relatively harmless if you catch it as a child.

China and the US are converging to a disturbing (to me at least) degree, in the sense that the big-player companies are intertwined with the national government; the US is kind of in denial about that.

Every once in a while, there's a news interview with a 100-year-old who swears that their secret to a long life was to drink enough whiskey to take the edge off all the cigarettes. I can't help but think that all these individual
