摘自《華爾街日報》觀點：斯科特·戈特利布寫道，有理由相信，更多美國人會關注到接種疫苗的實際好處——無需再戴口罩——並決定預約接種疫苗。

Michel de Montaigne
Humanist, skeptic, acute observer of himself and others, Michel de Montaigne (1533—92) was the first to use the term “essay” to refer to the form he pioneered, and he has remained one of its most famous practitioners.

contraceptives.”反對者提出的反對論點，有些顯然是爛招。例如歐巴馬的八千兩百五十億美元振興經濟方案，眾院少數黨領袖貝納挑了一個無關緊要的條款找碴，稱一項擴大國民醫療補助中家庭計畫的項目，是「花大錢買避孕藥」。
