想過沒？

Marc Siegel 醫生的書，我在看。其中有一段話：

The government is sometimes a greater danger than the supposed threat. In its haste to protect us from chemical and biological weapons, for example, the government built expensive high-security laboratories to study these potential weapons. But a study published in February 2001 found that of twenty-one known germ attacks, most were conducted not by terrorists, but by government researchers-turned-terrorists who had gained access to human pathogens.

這2001年發表的有21次 Germ Attacks，是否屬實？知道嗎？想過沒？

Those in society who inform us and who care for us—whether in government, the media, or health care—should be committed to maintaining a perspective based on realistic assessments of risk, rather than an agenda based on politics or profit.

我怎麼覺得這段非常精煉的話，好像是特指某些地方目前的情況呢？是的，至少在這些地方，人們被要求無條件地服從政府的”an agenda based on politics or profit”。
