chicken pox and hepatitis B

Let's see. Tossing parents in jail for not getting their kids a vaccine for, respectively:

1) A disease that's virtually harmless when you get it, for which the vaccine doesn't work, long-term.

2) A disease that you can't get unless you take recreational drugs intravenously or get sodomized on a regular basis. A vaccination against HepB wouldn't be a necessary precaution for most kids.

But the important thing is that numerous local contractors depend for their income on giving vaccines and boosters against trivial or obscure diseases, and public school children represent a key market segment. So their contacts and friends on the school board and the local family court bar have no choice but to stand in solidarity with them.

Except when you’re an adult it’s not harmful. Children aren’t the only people at schools.

You’re thinking of Hep C, not Hep B. Hep B is caught from either blood or stool and is passed along really easily because kids don’t always wash their hands and they’re always getting cuts and scrapes.

So, for your new hat, should the foil be made out of aluminum, tin or steel?

Not true. Anybody who works in health care is at risk for Hepatitis B. Best time to vaccinate is before one is exposed to risk. I only wish there was a vaccine against Hep C.
