President Trump is forming a new, high-level committee to challenge the results of government scientists, who report that human activity is causing potentially catastrophic climate change. This, and other major issues of our day, beg the question -- is it ok to rely on science sometimes, for example when you take an Advil for a headache, but ignore it at other times?

Only seven states and Washington D.C have laws requiring that children receive basic immunizations. In recent years the \"anti-vaxx\" movement has lead to falling vaccination rates in some communities, and now, new measles outbreaks.
