This goofball argument again?? It has probably been said dozens, or even hundreds, of times here already but smoking, car accidents, hurricanes, etc. are NOT contagious. There are no vaccines for these causes of death, none of them can mutate to potentially become more transmissible or virulent. Total apples/oranges comparisons.
You know what else sells? The outrage, fear & conspiracy theories peddled on opinion-based entertainment. Talk about sheep...
