- remembers that a rare situation has happened before and it's able to look up what was done last time if it's the same thing
- able to handle a new situation BY READING THE INSTRUCTIONS

If the federal government can say "we don't believe in a certain medical treatment, so we're pulling funding from all hospitals that provide that treatment"

And nobody stops them

How long until they do it for vaccines?
