In this recent article in JAMA(2010;303(10):943-950), the authors evaluate the impact of vaccinating children and adolescents on the incidence of influenza among non-vaccinated populations. They conclude that, if you vaccinate your children and teenagers, there is less disease among the rest of the population. Tell us something else that every parent already knew. Now, go wash your hands and come in to dinner.
Now I must explain the Subtle Approach. There are three occasions on which we cannot use the Direct Opening, and these we must consider carefully: (1) when our cause is discreditable, that is, when the subject itself alienates the hearer from us; (2) when the hearer has apparently been won over by the previous speakers of the opposition; (3) or when the hearer has become wearied by listening to the previous speakers.
