Post #61 was my response to Rayliota, not you. Rayliota was responding to Ohio's comment. Ohio's comment was voicing skepticism in trusting "experts" blindly (still within the context of healthcare). Rayliota's comment was pointing out that the standard of health in this country over the last 200 years should be considered to have improved and therefore why should we be skeptical.
My post responded why. Was it too brief for most to understand? Apparently. The point was simple, if Rayliota, or anyone, watches that documentary I think it would be very difficult to not be skeptical of the health care in this country. Yet it doesn't deny that over a 200 year time frame the standard of health may improve, just so long as the powers that be profit from that improvement.
Therefore my post did not "change the discussion". It had nothing to do with the discussion of autism. It had nothing to do with your point about how to read scripture. It wasn't addressed to you.
