That's happening already. There is currently a bunch of hasidic jews in NYC that is sueing the city and a bunch of private schools because their children isn't allowed to go to schools because they haven't been vaccinated.

The school board refuses to let their kids in because of the # measles patients have risen.

I heard the argument from the anti-vaxxers and sometimes I wish I could beat knowledge into stupid.

Health-Records Company Pushed Opioids to Doctors in Secret Deal With Drugmaker

To doctors opening patients’ electronic records across the U.S., the alert would have looked innocuous enough.

A pop-up would appear, asking about a patient’s level of pain. Then, a drop-down menu would list treatments ranging from a referral to a pain specialist to a prescription for an opioid painkiller.

Click a button, and the program would create a treatment plan. From 2016 to spring 2019, the alert went off about 230 million times.

The tool existed thanks to a secret deal. Its maker, a software company called Practice Fusion, was paid by a major opioid manufacturer to design it in an effort to boost prescriptions for addictive pain pills -- even though overdose deaths had almost tripled during the prior 15 years, creating a public-health disaster. The software was used by tens of thousands of doctors’ offices.
