My Anoreth got the HepC vaccine three times when she was in the Coast Guard, because they kept deciding everyone needed it, and her medical records never caught up with her posts.

It made me feel better about her tattoos ...

Measles” is one disease, and “German measles,” technically “rubella,” is another. The birth defects or miscarriages (the plot of “The Mirror Crack’d”) were from rubella.

Thank you Tax-chick.......;)

In your nose, count to three. Out your mouth, count to four. If the pain gets more intense, keep breathing deeply, but count to three or four faster. Offering it up for the souls in Purgatory or the persecuted Christians in Pakistan helps, too.

I don’t have any special associations with Valentine’s Day. Our anniversary is Feb. 4 (30 years last week) so we pay more attention to that. My parents didn’t care much about Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, either. Their birthdays are May 4 and June 4, so the emphasis was on their birthdays.

Mom says Mother’s Day is generic, but her birthday is just about her (although it’s also Star Wars Day: May the Fourth be with you.) Our James and Kathleen share a birthday, January 19, but we’ve been experimenting with “Kathleen’s Birthday Observed.” Last year it was June 1, but that was too close to Frank’s birthday, May 27. This year it’s February 28. Today I got her a new bicycle as an early Birthday Observed present, and we’ll get her a helmet after I discuss the best kind with her horseback riding teacher.

I don't take doctors' advice blindly. They're human and make mistakes, lots of mistakes. So I'll listen to this woman's advice with skepticism, same as when I listen to a medical doctor. No need to insult her, just another bit of advice to weigh against lots of other opposing views.

When my now-adult oldest daughter was a child, her doctor diagnosed her with chicken pox. She was really ill, and got admitted to the hospital. Her pediatric doctor was the top expert in San Francisco, and the head of the SF Health Commission. I asked are you sure, and he confirmed it. Told us parents that she will never get it again. Once you get it, that's it. But a couple years later she got it again. He again diagnosed her as having chicken pox. I told him he had assured us you only get it once. All he could say was "Huh! Oh well, guess you can get it twice!".

My daughters have immunized their kids, because it's required in order to attend public school. They haven't gotten the diseases we older people had as children. I remember having had measles, chicken pox, etc. and it wasn't pleasant, but I do believe we have stronger immunity now after having overcome the diseases our body fought off. Jury is out on current young children now; we'll see in the future.

My personal concern is more of the transferral of carcinogenic microbiome components from one cancer patient to everyone downstream of that patient. Undetected years later and only then IF someone does a records retrospective.

I suspect it’s doable now but no one wants the tort. (no e)

Hey, they're just snacking off of a replica of a human body. Seems perfect normal.

Maybe. If you get your colon polyps excised regularly, they don’t have time to become tumors, even if they wanted to. It’s harder to analyse what might have happened, colon-cancer-wise, when more people have colonoscopies, especially at younger ages.

According to the CDC, more than 70,000 measles cases were prevented in the US between 1994 and 2013 as a result of vaccines.

How the heck do they come up with that figure?

Had the measles when a kid and the chicken pox while in the Army.........

I'm still alive, single and happy. Maybe there's a side effect of those vaccines after all.........

She’s claiming to be immune from cancer

That is idiotic

Based on my observations, autism is caused by sitting above-average-intelligence children in front of television screens in lieu of raising them.

Do read the study I posted. There’s a link in my post.

It’s not completely farfetched.

Recently there was publicity about some who have used measles virus to cure cancer. https://scienceblog.cancerresearchuk.org/2014/05/16/could-measles-cure-cancer-uh-not-exactly/

“My husband claims he never had the chicken pox as a child, and he didn’t catch it when our oldest daughter had it in 1993.”

It looks like he’s had chicken pox if he didn’t catch it from your daughter. I had a very mild case when I was a child, only 3-4 poxes, but my mom figured it out because all of my nearby cousins and half the kids at school had it.

On the other hand, if he really hasn’t had chicken pox, get him vaccinated.
A good friend of mine caught chicken pox when he was 24. Two days after the first pox showed up, he was in intensive care with chicken pox pneumonia. The docs said he was quite lucky to have survived.

I think he probably had a mild case as a child and his mother just didn’t notice. It would be consistent for his mother, one must say.

My brother caught a mild case at preschool in 1967, and I had a massive case that I caught from him. I still have scars, more than 50 years later.

Mandatory vaccination is to protect people who don’t develop immunity or who can’t be immunized.

Mandatory - to protect us. You're still a Democrat.

Yes I’ve fully vaccinated my offspring but she’s not completely crazy. The latest and most promising cancer research as I understand it is focused on harnessing the immune system to fight cancer.
