Vaccines are crap (most gave us different diseases and cancers) and the rest are failing rapidly.
With In the next year or so i'd say hold onto your butts.- skatastrophy, on 10/20/2008, -4/+9You're one of those undereducated hick parents that refuses to let your child get vaccinated, aren't you?
- Goodanswer, on 10/20/2008, -2/+2Actually, no im not, but then again I dont have to tell you what degrees I do have. My IQ wont make a bit of difference to you because no matter what I reveal your going to believe your right. What I will do is let you in on a personal story. It is that I know a person who was affected by meningitis and she lost hearing and sight in her right side. But she has now developed an antigen to it. So have her children.
If you keep pushing mother nature back she will eventually take a leap forward. Like i said vaccines are crap if your not supposed to survive then your not supposed to survive. Those who have better immune systems will and the rest will be laid by the wayside as they should.

- Leviathan433, on 10/20/2008, -2/+8right - vaccines are crap. Ever been to an area of the world where vaccines are not available to the population? They are just having a grand old time.
- azhura, on 10/20/2008, -2/+4If they were such crap, then why have they almost eradicated certain diseases in the United States such as polio, the mumps, etc.? Sounds like you don't know what you are talking about...

As someone with a degree in microbiology, and who did research into antibiotic resistance mechanisms, I can tell you this comment is unfounded, and complete gibberish. Maybe in 10-20years it will be a larger problem
>Vaccines are crap (most gave us different diseases and cancers) and the rest are failing rapidly
As someone with a degree in microbiology, and medical training, this is a pile of crap. Please don't spread misinformation about vaccinations, as it makes my job much harder in the long run. The routine vaccinations that you'd be given as a child are *NOT* going to cause any of the following:
1) autism
2) cancer
3) diseases
4) the second coming of jesus
5) SCIENCE-THINGS!
6) etc. - enosp, on 10/20/2008, -0/+3lol,
the "evolutionary roller coaster ride for micro organisms?" will be a result of the antivaccinaton movement
if >5% of folks don't immunize--> herd immunity lost, more outbreaks of disease---> greater incident of infectious agent evolution---> new vaccines must be developed for new strains, in interim even more disease
enjoy your "insert disease name" - brainflakes, on 10/20/2008, -2/+1> Vaccines are crap
Yeah too right!! I mean, small pox and polio never did anyone any harm, right??

- Skishy101, on 10/20/2008, -2/+3Just another reasons for germ-crazed mothers to be even more worried.
- CedEx, on 10/20/2008, -1/+1There are plenty of things to be worried about, you just have to be reasonable.
For instance, ringworm infections from animals, can make babies go blind. For most people, that means the family dog could make your newborn lose their vision.- s0nicfreak, on 10/21/2008, -0/+1*****, your dog should not have ringworm and should not be around your newborn

- DeFex, on 10/20/2008, -3/+3Good thing there is no such thing as evolution, and germs will never become disease resistant.

- UnderscoreMan, on 10/20/2008, -1/+5I'm currious to know what where the ocurances of these diseases before everything was sanitized.
In the 'old days'.
KID - Look mom, I found a dead bird...
MOM - Put that down and eat your hot dog.
Today :
KID - Mom I poked a dead bird with a stick.
MOM - ARRRGH, where's the antiseptic? Quick let's wash you...- Leviathan433, on 10/20/2008, -1/+1Your right, modern sanitation has done nothing but drive up our infant mortality rate.
/s- UnderscoreMan, on 10/20/2008, -1/+0I'm not saying that they where less mortality, but you know peoples had an environment more suitable to build better immune system. And the later is your first line defense.
Over sanitation, I believe, works against that.
Vaccine are a tool to help build your immune system of course, but you shouldn't rely on that alone.
And lastly antibiotics should be the last line, when your body fails to recover by itself.
I'm not a doctor, and prove me wrong and educate me if needed.

- freakFlag, on 10/20/2008, -4/+1This past summer I was diagnosed with Scarlet Fever. The rash developed on my neck and chest within 36 hours, I was diagnosed with a fever of 104F. An antibiotic was used to kill the Strep bacteria but there was no effect on the rash. My doctor wanted to collect more blood and send me to a specialist. Instead of becoming a Guinea Pig, I started a regular supplement of a Universal Vitamin, 2 a day. Within 5 days the rash was gone but there was apparent scarring on the skin that didn't fade completely for 2 months. I did not take all of the medication that was prescribed but this method worked well for me. The other medication was an adrenal suppressant with side-effects that were not covered accurately with me. There's a long list of "what could happen" while on an adrenal suppressant and I felt that the prescription was an unneeded risk.

- sjbdallas, on 10/20/2008, -0/+2I never went to the doctor when I was a kid but when you go today, the place is full of moms dragging their kid with the sniffles in. Scientists have been preaching for years about diseases becoming immune to antibiotics but people still take them for everything.
- atchon, on 10/20/2008, -1/+3Scientists also preach about kids who don't go to the doctors and fail to get their vaccinations negatively effecting the herd immunity of the population....
Your not going to the doctor is no better than kids going to the doctor constantly. The right balance is go get your vaccines, and go anytime there is a serious problem sick for longer than 3 days or what not.- Anders, on 10/20/2008, -0/+1@atchon
I didn't get vaccinated as a kid. The worst illnesses I've had was chicken pox as a kid (if that even counts) and a week of tonsillitis right before my graduation party.
I fail to see your point. - crh3f, on 10/21/2008, -0/+0you're an N of 1. I fail to see YOUR point.
Any individual person may or may not get sick whether or not they get vaccinated. The point is if enough people get vaccinated, the incidence (rate of new cases) of that disease in the population in the community decreases. The extremely low rate of epiglottitis (a very dangerous pediatric disease) and polio, the nonexistant rate of smallpox, the low rate of what we call "serious bacterial infection" (pneumonia, meningitis) in the pediatric population are all direct results of vaccination programs.
Vaccination programs are probably WHY you never got any serious illnesses...nobody around you got the disease, b/c either they WERE vaccinated or enough others were that the disease prevelance was low in your community, so therefore, neither did you. Yay for herd immunity...thank your friends' parents.
And get your kids vaccinated.
