I believe it is "attenuated,"

Sorry PR, I probably used the wrong term to describe the fact that the vaccine virus is not a virus that is harmful to humans. Even though it is indeed a live form and not dead. With that in mind, one would have to be slightly paranoid to believe that it would cause damage by junping from the vaccinated to someone else.

According to CDC records, the people who actually died as a result of the old style innoculaions were estimated at between 1 and 2 per million vaccinations. I don't doubt that carefull screening would almost all but eliminate that number.

They also have and are creating the imuno-globulin antidote for those who have bad reactions.

The stuff in not totally safe, as most all vaccines. But, it would be a no brainer to get it if we have a major outbreak. The only reason this bandaid crap came up is the protection of imuno-deficient people from recently vaccinated ones. A real major worry that is only for people that worry about potential hazards that raely, if ever, would occur.

Like raining cats and dogs.

No, one would not be paranoid, one would simply have a medical degree.
