"If it bleeds it leads. "
Reminds me of something I've noticed, in the US cigarette smoking and exposure to tobacco smoke accounts for at least 443,000 premature deaths annually. Second-hand smoke causes 38,000 deaths per year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_tobacco (cause I don't have much time)
Murders in the US are about 17k see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate
..and what somehow I see a lot more in the news about some random murder or violence case and sometimes not even that (like Covington and Jussie Smolet) and anti-vaxers then information on tobacco.
https://www.statista.com/statistics/385577/mmr-vaccination-rate-among-us-children-aged-19-35-months/ Using MMR as an example, the vaccination rate has barely changed, yet we're being told anti-vaxxers are the impending doom.
