Two generations of tooth decay _vaccines_ haven't made it to the USA although in some cases they were available in Great Britain and Europe.
Yeah, I came here to say exactly what you did, thanks. I remember an article like this every 2-3 years popping up. Oh yeah, and of course the HN hive mind voted you down.
