Re: Anti-Vaccination rubbish

[Guest guest]

Greetings my friend, I am glad to see you on the boards in regard to

our er new member. My patience with this rubbish is wearing thin.

Of course, these pop medicine fanatics become Typhoid 's, passing

on the flu to all and sundry. I am sure that the reason that the AMA

is taking this seriously is that it is very worried about just the

eventuality that you mention. The consequences of this idiocy in a

pandemic are too dire to contemplate.

What needs to happen, of course, is that all of the parents who have

lost children due to pop medicine stupidity need to form groups to

warn parents of the danger.

Educate? Objectivity? You are using words that are not in the pop

medicine fanatics vocabulary.

> Of interest is that when people who eschew vaccines get the flu they

become like a kind of typhoid for those around them. I can

understand that people might have some safety concerns about vaccines,

but I think people have to be sensible at the same time. I shudder to

think what might happen if smallpox broke out in the US, or even worse

the bird flu we're all concerned about. People need to educate

themselves with the facts about vaccines and must objectively and

carefully weigh arguments both pro and con before making a truly

informed decision. Just to say things like " it causes this or that "

without hard evidence to back up that claim just doesn't make sense to

me; yet many people take this point of view.
