Not the right time and place. One of our own FReepers has a relative 18 months old who has recently suffered paralysis from a vaccine. We are active;y praying he can recover fully.
Best for a site like Free Republic to be pro-freedom re medical “treatments.”
What’s their point?
When I was growing up, if you stepped on something rusty, etc you got a tetanus shot
Someone is really pushing the vaccine cures all bit.....
....when most Americans have and are vaccinated...
It’s the illegals bringing in the diseases
“The wound was cleaned and sutured at home...”
Eh, could we have a break?
There’s a pen and ink drawing of a British Soldierin the throes of tetnus. It’s a graphic picture of a terrible disease. I try to get my booster occasionally just to be safe. This stuff is nothing to mess with.
Whatever the intention, this is not an argument for compelled vaccinations.
Orange vaccine bad
But tetanus is usually given when a child is an infant then a toddler. After that a booster is recommended around primary school age. But I think many parents still just make sure they child gets the booster if there is a puncture wound.
If you read the comments, you’ll find out that the child DID have a tetanus shot. But he didn’t have FIVE tetanus shots.
That’s right. Just checked - apparently, now the recommended schedule is 5 tetanus shots by age 5.
15-20 years ago, the recommended schedule was 4 tetanus shots (as per my records). Now it’s 5.
So, this boy had one tetanus shot. Then he contracted tetanus and received a second tetanus shot in the hospital. The commenters are complaining that he hasn’t had 3 more shots since then. Really, they’re calling to let him die in the comments section over there. That’s how crazy the mandatory-vaxxers are.
I grew up on 40 acres and my parents bought us just about every farm animal available at one time or another, although we always had horses, cows, chickens, geese pigs, dogs and cats. We were always falling off of horses, stepping on nails, getting kicked in the head, or crashing on bicycles, motorcycles, or tractors. Fortunately, my mother was an RN, but I can’t even remember how many tetanus shots I got.
My mom patched us up, but it seems like part of the first aid routine was going to get another tetanus shot every time we presented some type of ugly wound to her. My mom of course was from a generation where they still remembered people getting sick and dropping over dead or being permanently damaged by illnesses which could be prevented by vaccinations.
My dad had has growth stunted and suffered from a life long heart condition that got him kicked out of flight training in the Air Force from an illness he contracted during his childhood. Refusing to get your shots was not an option in our family.
Wonder if the moron mom is still an anti-vaxer?
let parents decide. Vaccinations are shown to cause autism. It is not worth the risk.
Liars liars liars liars liars liars liars hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites hypocrites poisoners of children poisoners of children poisoners of children poisoners of children
Vaccine industry is pure evil motivated only by profit
Funny how they showcase those who might have been saved the trouble with a vaccination but never mention those who have serious complications or die from having a vaccination...we have 18 month old Richie front and center on FR lately which must be....inconvenient to some who think every vaccination that can be developed must be mandatory for everyone ....because.....
but to try to save a kid, they complain about the cost?....
let alone the billions we are taxed to save the drug addled, the drunk, the illegals, the cigarette smokers etc.....
