@Smersh: American, yes, except for matters of public health, particularly contagions, communicable diseases, and vaccinations against preventable communicable diseases, especially childhood diseases.
Concurrently, bad decisions made in the face of clinical recommendation and/or government mandate and that directly lead to illness, crippling, or death are solely the responsibility of the decision-making party... by law. No pleading ignorance or "I was a different person then" after the fact.
