Would you believe Charlie Francis commented about something similar to this on

Testosterone, for what it's worth... Here's the URL and the relevent quote...

" The East Germans understood the role of additional heat when

an extensive review of world record performances revealed

how often the record setter was at the early stages of a cold

and running a fever when the record was set. (Later into the

cold, the adverse effects outweigh the benefits, of course.)

This led the East Germans to experiment with de-natured

viruses to generate a slight fever immediately prior to a world

record attempt! "

Mel,

You presented some websites in your email about vaccines that contain

virtually no credible information and are the result of vaccine conspiracy

theorists. The information is wildly unbiased and filled with

pseudoscience. These people are a danger to society by pretending to be

well-informed and concerned about everyone else's welfare. In fact, many

are deluded and ignorant and have very ideological roots in their

objections to vaccinations.

I must admit that I did not check every site you posted but a couple

certainly fell into this boat. I believe quackwatch.com has some links for

reliable vax info.
