If Pharma made airplanes there would be airplane crashes every single day and Pharma would blame the people who never fly.
Sudden Aviation Death Syndrome (SADS) would be the label used to describe those killed in the daily airplane crashes which would always be considered a coincidence.
The CDC would strongly recommend that all children fly 90 times before their 18th birthday and blue states would require proof of said flights to attend school; even if you have been in a previous crash there would be no exemptions to the mandated 90 flights.
Anderson Cooper would vilify anyone who took fewer than five flights a year.
The National Transportation Safety Board would assure us that planes have always crashed every day — it was just better awareness that made people think things had gotten worse — while doing absolutely nothing to improve airline safety.
Academics would conduct elaborate studies on “overcoming airplane crash hesitancy.”
The mainstream media would feature endless commercials for medications to treat burns and lost limbs from airplane crashes, complete with singing and dancing spokespeople who are always smiling.
Pharma would make record earnings every year because more crashes mean they need to make more planes!
Wall Street would applaud their visionary business model.
(Nota bene for anyone who thinks that this analogy is facetious: 300 children now develop autism in the United States every day, which is more than the seating capacity of the average domestic airplane flight.)

"Assumptions of tacit acceptance or rapid capitulation are implicit and dangerous.

"When Hitler was briefed on the expected Soviet reaction to Operation Barbarossa, Major General Ernst Koestring, a Prussian officer fluent in Russian from a family that had lived in Moscow since the reign of Catherine the Great, advised: “Initially, German forces will advance rapidly. The various peoples on the Soviet periphery will likely welcome the German forces. Resistance will be weak. But when the Germans advance into ...
