Ben Carson Nanny State PING!
I never pass up a Tetanus shot.
But if it saves just one life! /s
Paranoia the new national pastime?
Vaccines are good medicine, not a political issue.
Unless the government decides to make it political.
Awwwww no - not you too, Ben Carson - - -
I’m running out of steam about the vaccine issue.
I believe the bottom, bottom, bottom line is the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
But not saying at all that Carson has been paid off.
They WERE good medicine, until pharmaceutical companies found they could get the government to force anything on the people at large cost
I like the good Doctor, but on Fox News Sunday, he laid this outbreak at the feet of Blue areas of California. The theme park, in Anaheim, considered to be ground zero of this outbreak, is located in the middle of my Red area (Orange County). I have not much good to say about Blue areas of CA, but Dr. Carson was flat out wrong.
Thank you.
They become political when the government gets involved. Just saying.
Thank you Dr. Carson. I wonder when support for psuedoscientific quackery became a conservative agenda item.
I think Mr. Carson had best consult the veterinary profession and have them explain their new vaccination protocols, and why they were put in place, despite the fact that vaccination is the financial bread-and-butter of the trade.
“...Ben Carson attempted Sunday to diffuse the vaccination debate...
That is sophomoric journalism. Because Ben Carson gave his position on the subject. He did not just attempt to make a bothersome subject go away.
My military husband had his recommended (obligatory) yearly flu vaccination for many years, until he noted that he came down with the flu every year. He hasn’t had a flu shot for many years and has never come down with the flu. For that matter, neither have I.
I doubt that I have ever had the flu, I wouldn’t even know how to tell if I had it.
I’m all for the polio vaccine. And on one job I was required to have all the usual vaccinations required for travel in the 3rd world.
But on the other hand, I had measles as a kid. And chickenpox. My mom nursed me, I don’t think I even went to the doctor.
So its hard for me to take some of this stuff seriously I suppose.
I have never had a flu vaccine, ever. But thats just me, I don’t get sick often thank God. But I have had flu a time or two over the years, but big deal. I just took a day or two off from work til I was able to get back on my feet. I didn’t go to the doctor because, I suppose, from my background people just don’t go to the doctor for every little thing.
I know people who do go to the doctor for everything and some of them are seriously messed up.
My observation over the years has been, if you are shot or in a car wreck, you have a broken bone or a piece of your car stuck in your chest, by all means see a doctor. They can work miracles. If on the other hand you have something weird wrong with weird symptoms, you are probably better off to avoid them.
I don't think the flu shot actually causes flu, but what may have happened to your husband is that the shot weakened his immunity and allowed him to catch a strain of the virus that was either not included in that shot, or which he had never been exposed to before. He can be thankful it was only flu.
I’m with you but we’ll be hollered down
Does anyone remember polio and iron lungs....I do
I’m riding with vaccines
