They tried twice, and probably got him elected.

Britain by contrast achieved celebrations as conscription ended and loud drunken Beatles concerts, but not much else.
You forgot "Every major life event of pompous aristocrats"
That movie gives us some insight into the solution:
Slice the problem in two, and throw it in a hole.
My favorite phone was the Galaxy S Relay, which featured a sliding, 5-row thumbboard. Numbers, letters, period, comma, and question mark were all available without alt or fn keys. The number row had !@$#%^&*() with the shift key, just like actual keyboards.
It even had four arrow keys for cursor navigation!
I absolutely loved that phone.
Rubbing alcohol is about the only solvent I know of that is unlikely to fog the sensor. Might take a little while swabbing it with a q-tip.
No they aren't.
That money they are supposedly "losing" isn't "gained" by anyone else.
They are poised to watch an imaginary line go down for awhile. They'll pour real money into the line while it's down, and let more pour out after the line goes up.
The case fatality rate for measles is twice as high as for smallpox, and 4 times the paralysis rate of polio. Measles is not an illness you want endemic in a populace.
Then I'll continue:
P.S.: the antivax movement happens because of lack of trust in medical institutions.
They learn not to trust medical institutions. This is a learned behavior. What antivaxxers are learning about medical science is not reality. Whoever is teaching them is an utter moron who does not understand the subject themselves.
Likewise, the people who denounce the CLI as "unfriendly" and try to hide it away from the user. All they are really saying is "I don't know how to use it, so nobody else should use it either." What actually happened was they never learned it, never learned how useful it was, and never made an informed decision as to whether to use it or not: their decision against using it was based on ignorance. Just like the antivaxxer.
people shouldn't need to be "medicine savvy" enough to know what each drug or procedure does
One does not need to know every single command and utility available on the command line. It is sufficient to understand broad, basic concepts like pipes, and man pages.
If anything, this need for "medicine savviness" is what pushes people into "doing their own research" and becoming antivax.
Ignorance and naïveté are never a part of a solution.
The more wealth inequality grows the less important 99% of the population is as consumers and the more important the 1% becomes.
Not as consumers, no. The 1% doesn't consume more than the 90th percentile. They just park a higher percentage of their wealth in wealth-generating financial assets, which leech wealth from the rest of society.
We need a tax on all registered securities, (with exemption for the first $10 million owned by a natural person.) That tax should be paid not in cash, but in shares of the security: the IRS should slowly liquidate those shares over time, such that IRS sales never constitute more than 1% of total traded volume.
We further need the punitively-high top-tier tax rate we had for most of the 20th century. That tax rate pushed businesses to spend their excess income, turning it into other people's paychecks. It discouraged the kind of wealth-hoarding investment that is stunting consumer spending.
Everybody says this. Nobody posts recipes.
