I have a lot of free time in class because I get done with my work really fast, and I have free time at rehearsal (let's just say I spend more time sitting in the audience than on the stage), so I can get done with about 7-10 books a week.
I amazed…
I was in my history class, and we were watching the Dr. Martin Luther King "I Have a Dream" speech. The camera was panning around the lincoln memorial, and had finished showing the statue of Lincoln, when a girl asked:
"Are they at the white house?…
i have been reading about chicken pox and as on of the articles says; no one was scared of chickenpox when i was young. never in my wildes dreams have i expected anyone to call chickenpox more than a bit of bother. shingles yes.

exactly. and having had measles you can give your baby protection through breastfeeding.
the risks are quite a lot greater as you get older, maybe that's why they call them childrens diseases or childhood diseases.
It would be interesting to know how common freak cases of chicken pox are compared to freak reactions to the vaccine.
My problem with the chicken pox vaccine is that it doesn't last forever, and adult cases of chickenpox are usually much more sever…
If a drug had a serious negative effect on the majority of people who took it, it probably wouldn't make it past the trial phase.
While some doctors may be a little too free with the prescription pad, you can't paint all doctors with the same brush…
While influenza and chicken pox are usually relatively harmless in the long run, they have the potential to turn deadly. I almost died of a freak case of chicken pox at age 3. I dispute your argument that flu and chicken pox vaccines are unnecessary…
But in order to protect against something like the 1918 flu pandemic, the exact right flu strain would have to be present in the yearly flu vaccine. Since the strains picked are current flu viruses that are predicted to be common the next year, it's…
"Where are they giving blanket flu vaccinations, and why?"
To answer Nephtys80's question, here in Canada you aren't forced to get the flu vaccine, but "it is recommended that all eligible Ontarians receive the flu shot." (that is everyone older th…
...and following some reading, they ran out of the vaccine following the outbreak because other people, who had already been vaccinated, panicked and demanded re-vaccination. Here's one source, but you can find it elsewhere too: http://www.newscient…
I'm sorry Sabelmouse, that makes no sense at all to me. 97% of people in the Netherlands are vaccinated and do not contract polio, but they are trying to suggest here (based on ONE case of ONE patient who happened to have received the vaccine the da…
Hm, here in the Netherlands the flu vaccine is only given to elderly people and people who are immunocompromised in some way, e.g. due to cancer, chemotherapy, immunosuppressants after organ transpant or HIV/AIDS. Where are they giving blanket flu v…
With regards to your last statement: Agreed. I think it's astounding that today we have to diagnose almost everyone with some sort of mental defect or another. There's no doubt in my mind that the drugs we give to modify how people's brain chemistry…
Yeh the Flu vaccine as i see it is only somewhat useful for the over 60's and people in a vulnerable state come winter time. As a blanket vaccination for everyone each year? Seems pointless to me, as you say there are so many strains it is a lottery…
