Antivaxxer: vaccines are bad/cause autism, so I’m not going to vaccinate my kids.

Me: I support your decision to kill your kids with whatever preventable deadly disease they encounter.

I'm thinking that there should be a serious push for the hashtag #ObamaScared.  Maybe that's just me because I know that Obamacare will be the death of me... in the literal sense.

Avoidable deaths refers to untimely deaths among those under age 75 that should not occur with timely and effective health care and policy interventions, says the report from the Canadian Institute of Health Information and Statistics Canada released Thursday. The rate of untimely deaths dropped from 373 per 100,000 Canadians in 1979 to 185 per 100,000 in 2008. That decline was similar to rates in other developed countries.

Deaths that can be avoided by preventing disease and injury have decreased from 225 per 100,000 to 119 per 100,000 in the past 30 years.

A subgroup called preventable includes deaths from conditions like lung cancer fatalities tied to smoking or liver cirrhosis after excessive alcohol consumption, as well as lives that could be saved through vaccination or traffic legislation.
