Or at least his hair! Bwahahahaha, Gov. Goodhair.
I agree about the link between autism and vaccines. I haven't read anything either.
My daughter has brain damage, and I'm in online groups with parents of kids with autism. They make some valid points that some vaccines have not been thoroughly tested.
I'm more cautious about reading the side effects of vaccines and figuring out the risks. For example, my daughters and I all have asthma and are in a high risk group for flu problems. We get the flu vaccine every year. My son and husband don't have asthma, so they don't get it (I've also told my husband he is on his own if he gets flu, and he's taking care of my son if he gets it.)
Currently, my daughters are not sexually active, so there is more risk from taking this vaccine. At some point in time, that will change. I just want to make the decision myself.
Chickenpox can lead to encephalitis and death. It ain't just a cute little rash.
Varicella that causes chickenpox is also suspected to be the cause of a number of neurological diseases that affect people later in life. Diseases that you might rather choose to die to escape living with.
Bye all.
Bad net manners not to ping someone when you're talking about them.
You're new here, ain't ya hun ;)
(GRIN!)
Good! Now what's the deal with the pagent-thingy?
:-)
In how many people, and in what risk group.
I'm well aware of the complications with chicken pox. My daughter was on steroids, and if she was exposed to chicken pox while on steroids, it could have been very serious for her.
Therefore, all 3 of my kids have gotten the chicken pox vaccine. It was worth the risks.
We also did this voluntarily, and even though my daughter is high risk for complications I don't think it should be mandatory.
I think little miss pageants are for pedophiles to get off.
(I hate them).
I agree.

This is a piece about autism and vaccines. Just FYI, not saying it's the end-all be-all.
I know it's an old saying, but what if it's true that sometimes the cure is worse than the illness?
Who makes the decision for those high risks groups?
It makes you feel very sorry for some kids.
This is really a vaccine that should be saved for adults. It's a shame that we even have to talk about kids getting it.
I understand,
but maybe because I remember polio (SERIOUSLY) and how parents were nearly weeping with joy when the vaccine came out.
We are currently several generations removed from epidemics that took our children in high numbers. So maybe we're a teensy bit spoiled?
Later taters!
I'm so sorry.
I don't like government interference in anything.
Anyone who gets CP is at risk for encephalitis. Vaccination significantly decreases that risk. No vaccine is 100 percent effective as you know.
I am on high doses of steroids on a regular regimine. It's no walk in the park.
Ewww.
The really sick thing is....you're probably right.
(I can't stand them either)
Please document your allegations that Merck did that with this drug or any drug for that matter....are you off your meds to make such an allegation or just trying to make a feeble attempt to bash the Governor??
