...physician of 25 years, I have learned that "truth" in medicine is a fleeting concept. Although pediatric vaccines with full-dose thimerosal were no longer allowed to be made for sale in the U.S. after 2001, those stocks already in distribution or purchased could be used until their expiration date, as late as 2003. The influenza vaccine, which has been strongly pushed for children, still contains thimerosal in some available doses. I am not antivaccine, but the way in which vaccines are currently applied is causing many undue harm. Gregory L. Brown, RACINE...
...there security reasons not to allow the sale of tickets? Selling tickets between students only means that one student’s friend or family member attends instead of another’s, which hardly raises any security concerns. If the University is concerned about non-students buying tickets, then it should be in favor of allowing ticket sales between students, which would keep them from having to sell extra tickets on venues such as Craigslist, as many...
...Harvard’s policy of forbidding the sale of these tickets is not as easy to understand. If giving tickets away is permitted and even encouraged, what is it about selling tickets that makes it a harmful activity? Both parties to the sale necessarily benefit or the trade would not happen, and no third parties are directly harmed, so it seems that such sales are entirely beneficial...
...Allowing the open sale of tickets would have many benefits. Since it would likely increase the supply of tickets more than the demand—because people who need extra tickets are often more willing to break the rules than those who have extra tickets—the price would likely be lower than the current black market price. Permitting the market would also decrease the number of people being ripped off. On house open lists, tickets often sell at prices ranging from $50 to $100, but it is likely that students often pay more than that, since the secretive...
...might argue that if selling tickets were permitted, then the number of tickets given away would decrease. This is probably true, but it is also true of almost any other commodity. Prohibiting the sale of refrigerators or couches would surely increase the number donated, but no one would argue that we should do that, since it would also make it incredibly difficult to get one of those items. Similarly, we should not force students to rely on luck and quick responses to emails to be able to acquire a ticket...
