Re: OT NickJr commercial about meningitis vaccine and death

[Guest guest]

I think it's crappy. First, there is plenty of scientific evidence to

show this vaccine isn't close to 100%. Second, I could see many a kid

getting sick & thinking they'll be dead in 24 hrs. It's just not a

topic that should be in the face of little kids like that.

> This is way OT, but I had to let this out. Has anyone else seen the

meningitis vaccine commercial on NickJr? The one where they show a

bunch of happy playing kids, with a voice over saying this is how kids

look 24 hours before they DIE of meningitis? Boy that was FUN to

explain to my 10 year old Aspie and 5 year old kindergartener! What

were these ad execs thinking to put this during preschool time? They

certainly scared my kids!

Scare-mongering and brain-washing at it's worst. I get sick to my

stomach every time it's on. Kids are much more likely to died or

become permanently disabled from the vaccine.
