Death of the First-born. Who appeared with Jesus at the mount of Transfiguration?

You keep veering off-topic. Vaccine-injury negligence is important enough to stay on topic. Increased support for unnecessarily disabled adults threatens to outpace community resources in so many places. (And that concern is more consistent with the OP.)

I am still not seeing that "across the board," as you claim.

I don't know.

Even if they don't make repairs for their own negligence, somebody will end up doing so, in the form of its consequences. It is comparable to pollution. (If industry isn't checked for polluting the water, for instance, it becomes the water treatment plant's problem.)

There is no higher [American] authority that they are beholden to. Such an authority would have to be global, but that is off-topic for this thread.

I gave no thought to customs, nor do I see that influence "across the board."

Changes in technology, including medicine, are going to put "early-adopters" at a certain amount of risk, but, once problems are identified, we expect such to be withdrawn, not left in place. The latter is negligence that society ends up paying for.

I think "part of life" is too broad. More "part of fashion." Was the Sony Walkman "part of life" or "part of fashion?"

Mine wasn't on there. Neutral.

For my daughter (1st-born), I was neither here nor there. My #3 (son) has a mental age of 8yo, so many of his decisions continue to be reckless (and make us wince). He is not under a guardianship, so we have no say in such matters. #2 & #4 (sons) may have gotten them in the military, but I am...

I would think more "fashionable" than any thought about its innocence. Even my own aversion isn't based on its innocence or guilt.

They live far away, so I don't know.

At least, two of my sons do or did.

I don't see why that question would apply to vaccine more than pharmaceuticals, generally. And probably other products, as well. Pharmaceuticals have built-in demand. For those products that don't have built-in demand, demand for them must be fabricated... Ya Got Trouble Mass-teria...!

One "rite of passage" just got pushed back with regards to tobacco use.

That is what I understand.

No. We never stressed that it was wrong, just to wait until they were 18, just in case they changed their mind (kind of like regret, before the fact).

I don't have a tattoo to regret (unless you count where I was poked in the arm with a pencil lead...). I don't give other people's tattoos a second thought unless they are a spiritual affront. (Even then there is nothing that I can do about them.) Some of my kids have small tattoos, but AFAICT...

More often, it is a different virus than anticipated.
