I got shoved into an isolation ward at the base hospital, while apparently adding to a breakout just short of epidemic numbers.
You’re missing my point.
I agree that there are vaccines worth having, such as for the mumps, measles, rubella, whooping cough, polio, etc. (I’m leaving off the flu, due to it’s inability to do anything other than relieve some symptoms, IF it’s the correct strain.)
My children will definitely receive any proven vaccine that will truly benefit them.
My point on HPV was that it was mandated by the Texas Government for ALL girls and would have been mandated by the CDC, if people had not raised such holy hell about it.
We, as a free people, should not whole heartedly accept what is being forced upon us without true research by independent research groups, not those with a bent towards the mfg or a wacko parent group. At this point, I don’t believe we have such a group that is completely non-biased.
Are you saying that we should accept all CDC mandates without question? Remember, this is the same group that says that we have a major outbreak of gun deaths amongst children.
“The Red Measles” is NOT unknown to NC. I am a native here, and I had the Red Measles, as a child. These measles are not the same as the other measles for which you get a shot.
There are huge red welts that are itchy, and last about 2 weeks. Whereas the other measles are smaller bumps. I will say it is unusual to have them now, since it has been a long time since I heard of a case.
In fact, the cousins all wanted those Red Measles, because Grandma gave gifts to the sick. Those who went out of their way to get them regretted the effort.
ROFL
My brother and I had Red Measles and German Measles ..... same summer. That was back in the day when doctors made house calls & he did come to see us several times .... I can remember the two of us in the same bedroom, curtains drawn, hot (no air conditioning) and getting alcohol baths to bring down fever. The good “old” days. We both survived with a couple of measles scars, but not too bad.
Ahhh, Childhood as I remember it. Hot, humid, and uncomfortable. Yes, we all survived.
Now it’s a traumatic experience if the a/c goes off, no cable, or the they can’t text, talk, or get online.
Back in 1970 I caught the chicken pox while in Panama....
I remember the drawn curtains, wearing sun glasses during the day, and isolated in my parents bedroom.
Still remember my eldest brother coming into the room, and reading me my report card.
Traffic! where ? surley not on 77...
;)
I had ‘em all. I think the only vaccines we had were for polio and I guess smallpox.
I had measles, mumps, German measles (rubella), chicken pox, scarlet fever and about a million strep throats.
I only really remember the scarlet fever, I was just as sick as a dog.
Well, that’s one I didn’t have, in fact I’ve never heard of it before. Sounds pretty dreadful.
Well back in my day, we got everything. Mumps, measles, chicken pox, scarlet fever and whooping cough. And we liked it.
Yes, it was hard on children too. Some had scarring, and not at all like the normal ‘measles’.
I remember measles. I didn’t like it.
Maybe you don't remember Dan Carvey's grumpy old man.
