Стремясь оградить детей от побочных эффектов вакцин, взрослые поддаются массовой истерии, основанной на неподтвержденных данных и эмоциональных реакциях.

Im Laufe des Medizinstudiums lernt man eine Auswahl möglicher klinischer Karrieren kennen und wird einzig auf diese klar definierten Karrierewege vorbereitet.
