He was FINE.<br />She is FINE.<br />He went around bowling, on the subway, infecting people (POSSIBLY...PROBABLY not)......<br />She is demanding her rights and is adamant she's WELL, damn it! He thought so, too. Is it just me? COULD she not be pre-symptomatic?<br /><br />On the other hand, if this girl's NOT going near people (except her boyfriend and a friend who came by for pizza tonight, apparently) why can't she bike around her town? Nobody's getting Ebola from someone zipping by on a bike!<br /><br />This is going to get interesting. My main question, though, is if HE got suddenly symptomatic, who's to say she won't? She's very short sighted and a snotty little brat in my opinion. Do your patriotic best to NOT infect; stay home for a couple of weeks.

That's LARGELY due to the vaccine.<br />My personal belief is that getting measles, mumps and chicken pox and getting OVER them seems to have made our immune systems stronger, I keep seeing young mothers whipping out handiwipes and liquid antiseptics the MINUTE their precious little Jr. has touched something remotely dirty..and I know with certainty and personal experience with my own sisters whose children were getting antiobitics the minute they coughed! I KNOW that my nieces and nephews have had more antibiotics in their young lives than I have had in my considered amount of years...about 10 TIMES worth, or maybe more.<br />And we wonder that immune systems are causing all kinds of immune diseases and asthma? <br />I guess the suggestion is that the measles bug had died off?Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-49635350373724569662014-10-30T20:33:02.950-05:002014-10-30T20:33:02.950-05:00Finntann,

Thanks to western generated affluence we have done so much with nutrition, sanitation and [non-vaccine] health care to keep ourselves safe from these periodic scourges. <br /><br />Why on God's green earth do we open our doors to sketchy 'refugees' from countries that DON'T have these practices and let disease carriers flood in? We NEVER did this in my lifetime. It's one of the responsible actions our government has taken. People with TB were turned back. Period. No sob stories. Just not allowed in. How hard is that on many fronts?Baysiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562129788572031587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-87515832024117779082014-10-30T18:36:06.613-05:002014-10-30T18:36:06.613-05:00Well, it's beyond the scope of taking over AOW...Well, it's beyond the scope of taking over AOW's blog to discuss vaccines in depth -- too many issues. The autism 'scare' is but one - and very much alive. It's the 2-step type cause and effect that I believe has thrown people off. Like Pasteur himself held by the end of his life, it's the 'soil' in which the germ or whatever lands that is most determinative. And the debunkers have themselves been debunked on this.<br /><br /><i>Much Much safer approaches to vaccines exist </i>but aren't used. Examples: none until after age 2; single vaccines only and spaced at least 6 months apart; none of those toxic adjuvants and preservatives like mercury (which they lied for years about having removed from children's doses) and aluminum; pre-testing of children for inability to respond to measles vaccines (yes, it will have no effect on many, and safety demands they be pre-selected out); and mandatory assessment of vitamin D levels prior to vaccine to ensure recipient has optimum base capacity to mount an appropriate immune response with minimal neurological damage. Plus the expectation of a very narrow window of immunity, if any. Immunity acquired by the disease is lifelong. Any immunity conferred by vaccine is very short-lived. No one disputes this.<br /><br />How many know that polio and later measles mortality was virtually nil <i>before</i> their vaccines were ever developed? God bless the humanitarian instincts of Jonas Salk (he never patented his polio vaccine), but it came after that ship had sailed. <br /><br />I don't know Michelle Bachmann's views on this at all. But I do know Dr. Gregory Poland's, one of the most ardent and respected vaccinologists (Mayo Clinic) on the planet who says the current approach to measles vaccination AIN'T WORKIN'. Period. <br /><br />The solution is not to make vaccine manufacturers immune to defects in their products by legislative fiat. The solution is a rational re-visiting of the whole perspective of immunity and disease -- not steamroller experimentation on defenseless children with a one-size-fits-all program that ignores reasonable precautions but quickly fills corporate coffers. <br />Baysiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13562129788572031587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-70750655287762765032014-10-30T18:25:15.061-05:002014-10-30T18:25:15.061-05:00EBOLA!!!!
