3. Probably not.

Skipping a flu shot, while probably not a good idea, is hardly a reason to charge manslaughter. Heck, when kids find loaded guns and shoot and kill some other kid, or mommy, or anyone, the parents are almost never charged with anything. That's too bad. There need to be high profile cases where those who allow the access can be held responsible. Unfortunately, the gun lovers would apparently prefer endless gun deaths to any kind of sensible gun laws.

If I can talk My Son The Astronomer into taking a job in another country (and once Trump and his idiots learn that there are telescopes out there, and people who spend their entire working lives with those telescopes they will cancel all such funding.) I will try very hard to join him there.
