Vaccines—Who Needs 'Em?

[Vuk]

So that's half a year you get to wonder if unimmunized hippies and/or rednecks will inadvertently kill your child. Wheeeeeee!

lmao! Lemur, you are a class A nutjob. No offense, but you really are. I wish you could get a little 'unwrapped' from you crazy beliefs so you could step back and see just how crazy you sound.

Ehrm no. You see one of the very nice properties of nearly all STDs is that, well, they are S-TD as opposed to Cough-TD etc. That makes STDs "mostly harmless" by comparison, doubly so since most of them are, again, not lethal whereas a typical property of child's diseases is that yes, in fact, they can be severe enough to kill (particularly babies and todlers). Furthermore apparently unlike wherever you live, the typical environment in which a child contracts a disease would be that small room which it spends a lot of time in together with many other kids in the same "class"; plus again, children at risk of childs disease (age 5-6, age 9, age 12 are specific "milestones" for vaccines) are not generally sexually active enough to get an STD....

This means that you, Vuk, might not be such a big risk factor for the Lemurlings but the good quacks kids are.

Oh, really? And your kids are not gonna kiss anyone at school? Do you know how many STDs (HIV for instance) are transmitted largely by NON-sexual contact? All it takes is a kiss, someone who rubbed their eye to touch a doorhandle, and then for you to rub your eye after touching that doorhandle, someone sneezing and some of the mist touching the rim of the cup you are drinking out of, etc, etc. STDs don't put kids at risk? Tell that to Africa.
Sorry TA, but I would be much more worried about whores (no, I don't mean that in a gender specific way) than I would people who don't get vaccines.
