Why do these articles always start with a story about a person? I see this in nearly all articles from american news papers. It's strange.

Seems like a paper from a young student who needs to get his 3000 wordcount.

It just bloats the article and makes it difficult to get the information out of it.

People are humans, they relate to individual stories more than raw statistics.

I think it's great, it shows there's always a human side to trends and large statistics.

And that's how we get those "vaccines cause autism" mothers. They like stories more than statistics, too.

That's usually because the stories with "vaccines cause autism" don't bother with the statistics. This story does and discusses a real trend.
