What's so hard to understand about "vaccines prevent disease"? And eclipses don't happen every day. People are curious and will do stupid things.

That's got nothing to do with the point I was making about the people in question (ie: professional educators) being sufficiently qualified to understand not to look directly at the sun without "reading paperwork". Besides which that is basically their whole fucking job; "reading paperwork" about things and then presenting the information to children in a way they can understand.
