>> Vaccines are the snake oil of modern medicine? Let me tell you that when I started as a RN back in the late 1980’s, we would typically see several cases of HiB Meningitis. Within several years, the HiB vaccine was given routinely, and now it’s rarely if ever seen. Vaccines DO work. That being said, I would, however, be leary of a vaccine that is being pushed out this quickly on such a widespread basis without being tested. <<
I agree with you vaccines are miracle of modern medicine, but like we have learned with antibiotics and bacterial infections, sometimes they are abused.
I will take a vaccine from my GP, but if the government wants to force me take rush-job vaccine form something I may have already had. HELL NO.
Agreed. I’m pro-vaccine, but my family is passing on the Swine Flu vaccine for now. I personally can’t have it, as it’s a live virus vaccine, and I’m immunusuppressed from a kidney transplant. Even if I weren’t, I’d take my chances without it for now.
