As a kid, I was terrified of polio. This was the era of hospital iron lung wards, in which hulking machines noisily kept scores of children breathing. Believe me, my friends and I were very aware of those! My parents signed me up to be in the first wave to receive the Salk vaccine series. Within years, polio was on a steep decline and the terror passed. Which is why it is so stunning to me that about 10% of parents refuse to vaccinate their children against potentially deadly diseases. As a consequences, some preventable diseases–made rare by vaccinations–are on the rebound. Now, some pediatricians are refusing unvaccinated children as patients.

When you direct a response at someone, you ping them. It's not only polite, it also enables them to point out you're just using unjustified slander to hit and run, because you can't back up your dirty mouth with any facts.
Its also honest. That actually counts - honesty. Think about it.
Seriously, maybe you should get some rest.
WHY is it hard to do? Because the polio vaccine is a fraud, maybe? Or did you have something else in mind?
I’ll put my vote in for stupid, if you’re counting.
You seriously don't get the citation-and-reference thing, do you?
Oh look, the bat boy vomitted up a peanut.
LOL! Never change!
Oh, trust me . . . I get the citation-and-reference thing. And I cited a reference to the column that indicated you did not completely read it.
People against vaccines are the same type that would do anything different than anyone else to try to look more “in the know”. They think that makes them special. Especially stupid, and very ignorant.
I would look at the multi-vaccines where several inoculations are given in the same dose. An adult for example in a military induction process may withstand the gauntlet of vaccines a child or even infant may not have the means to ward off adverse reactions.
No vaccine is without risk and risk vs benefits must be weighed. I take three shots once every three weeks for pollen & mold allergies and three shots every six for stings. It is not without risk. But I see the benefits outweighing the potential for adverse reactions.
I've went round and round with my veterinarian over vaccines for one of my dogs. The Three In One vaccine. Ten days afterward the dog breaks out in hives and welts, gets very sick, and has bloody stool. The first time I question him about the shots he said it wasn't likely. The second time I purposely moved the schedule a month later so I could determine if it was an allergic reaction from outside sources. It happened again. Nope can't be the vaccines I was told. Third time we did a Benadryl protocol of a shot of Benadryl followed by vaccines and dosages of pill form Benadryl for over the next ten days. No reaction. This year same thing except he said use the Benadryl only two days. On the tenth day the reaction hit. I didn't even bother calling him I just started the four times a day Benadryl for the next week. I'm not a Vet but darn it I knew the vaccines are causing problems.
I do believe parents should have say in when and how their children will receive vaccines. I am not anti vaccine but I believe the huge rush is causing as many issues as it is preventing and it's worth a good look at how the vaccines are being administered in relation to dosage, time between vaccines and the mixing of serums for multi vaccines. It's just common sense.
I have two cousins born in the early 1970's now grown but both are severely physically disabled from early childhood the doctors believe possibly due to vaccines. They are sibblings. You better believe the one that got married and had kids had concerns about vaccines. As well 30 years ago when my then girl friend now late wife went quadriplegic the Neurologist kept asking her over and over about any recent vaccines. The hospital had another patient that had Gillian Barre syndrome. She had Transverse Mylietus possibly a carry over from her previous Polio.
Did you know most vets are going to every 3-5 years for what used to be yearly canine vaccines? And your dog has a very high probability of a stronger response each time it is exposed to another vaccine?
Hugs to your pup.
LOL, you say, as you fail to carry it out yet again.
The citation is an actual quote. The reference is to that quote.
Waving your hand to "over there" doesn't do it.
:sigh:
So tedious.
Yeah I know. I’m changing doctors I think next year and see if some shots can’t be dropped. She’s an indoor stays at home dog living in a rural environment. It could be the Rabies required every year in my state but I think it’s the three in one from all I’ve read.
You made an assertion in your comment #4, and I demonstrated it to be false in my comment #13.
Time to get out of the batting-cage, and play.
With a citation, I need to add.
That’s what most say when they can’t handle the facts. No big deal, I’ve seen it before. Good luck on your next thread.
well said, sir!
Kids these days...
But thank you.
Idiots these days...
