well TomB it seems taht you are so pro-vaccine and that to you vaccines are a modern day wonder and we can't survive without them that we should extend this debate to not include not only the MMR triple jab but all vaccines and in general...

therefore as far as I am concerned everything is fair game and worthy of discussion where vaccines are concerned...

your lack of medical knowledge is so large that it is only seconded by your ego!

After quoting a lengthy paper on ''whole'' cell Pertussis vaccine and the observation of waning immunity, the fact that we use ''acellular" vaccine appears to have been forgotten!

The fact is no offices have used whole-cell in our area for years!

Lastly, increasing evidence of new contagion and spread of wild Pertussis is appearing in the American population.

I'm conjecturing that incomplete immunization in the community has permitted evolution of a Pertussis variant that must not be completely prevented by the Aventis or Glaxo Smith Kline vaccines.

Now, when these totally preventable diseases kill, where will you be mister?

As if we can rely on your medical expertise to successfully intubate, run IV antibiotics, quantify hemodynamics, and then wonder why the chiropractors are allowed to call themselves a doctor.

If we do smallpox this way, we should just surrender!
