one precaution for vaccinations too often overlooked hopemountain Feb 2015 #1

Dr Schutte's grandson is having his childhood vaccinations in spaced out doses. Anyone name-calling? proverbialwisdom Feb 2015 #2

If it was related to multiple vaccines at once, it isn't so much a "freak accident." pnwmom Feb 2015 #5

nothing wrong with having vaccines spaced apart. nt hopemountain Feb 2015 #3

I think that is often a good idea. The only reason children's vaccines are clumped together pnwmom Feb 2015 #4

A possible solution suggests itself KamaAina Feb 2015 #46

That isn't a bad idea. And in drugstores, where they have flu vaccines. pnwmom Feb 2015 #50

Most drug stores are in shopping centers KamaAina Feb 2015 #53

Think again: "Drive Thru Medicine, SIRVA, & the Vaccine Court" proverbialwisdom Mar 2015 #58

The disadvantage is that you are unprotected against certain diseases for longer. The advantage is LeftishBrit Feb 2015 #42

agreed - and your points are well taken. hopemountain Feb 2015 #44

The reaction this woman had may have been from too many vaccines at once KamaAina Feb 2015 #48

But the point you just mentioned is the key point. When there are multiple vaccines pnwmom Mar 2015 #62

He is not an anti-vaxxer KamaAina Feb 2015 #20

No, but the OP is.... SidDithers Feb 2015 #22

I did not know that KamaAina Feb 2015 #23

IMO, out of context. Actually I'm unfamiliar with Sagan. Here, please judge for yourself. proverbialwisdom Feb 2015 #29

You really don't know who Carl Sagan is? xmas74 Feb 2015 #30

Hey, did I say that? I thought I said I'm unfamiliar with his work except superficially. proverbialwisdom Feb 2015 #32

You said you were unfamiliar with Sagan. xmas74 Feb 2015 #38

What a... KamaAina Feb 2015 #33

I still miss Sagan. xmas74 Feb 2015 #39

You ask if anyone is name-calling? trumad Feb 2015 #7

BINGO! What schedule? Go global & define "don't vaccinate their children." What does that mean? proverbialwisdom Feb 2015 #9

Let me put ithe in simple words... trumad Feb 2015 #10

Consider that you might be living in a bubble (reliable info vacuum) & that it's UNSUSTAINABLE. proverbialwisdom Feb 2015 #16

blah blah blah... trumad Feb 2015 #18

When they say "accident" do they know what caused this? Hassin Bin Sober Feb 2015 #8

It's very rare, but some people can have severe reactions. Avalux Feb 2015 #11

It is possible to have a vaccine stored under improper conditions, pnwmom Mar 2015 #63

It's a very small risk, but for those who "hit the bad luck jackpot" it is small comfort. Liberal Veteran Feb 2015 #12

Not a bit but it doesn't mean we must insist no one is allergic to penicillin TheKentuckian Feb 2015 #13

Well, we don't. That is why there is a vaccine injury compensation program. Liberal Veteran Feb 2015 #15

I said nothing about going to the drawing board at all but blowing off people's lives, setting up TheKentuckian Feb 2015 #21

I agree. Balance is everything. That is why I usually try to look at the overall picture. Liberal Veteran Feb 2015 #25

Jackpot for him, not so much for his wife. n/t dilby Feb 2015 #17

That's why I called it the "bad luck jackpot". It wasn't referring to the compensation. Liberal Veteran Feb 2015 #19

Andrew Wakefield is still a crank. NuclearDem Feb 2015 #26

Very sad. I wonder if one of the vaccines that she needed for travel was the yellow fever vaccine? LeftishBrit Feb 2015 #43

Do you still think Andrew Wakefield is the next Carl Sagan? zappaman Feb 2015 #47

Do you still think you can ignore the science with one-liners & reframe the issue as ALL OR NOTHING? proverbialwisdom Feb 2015 #49

The vaccine schedule is safe, and this doesn't change that. HuckleB Feb 2015 #52

A multigenerational report of adverse reactions here (link from Twitter). proverbialwisdom Mar 2015 #54

And more of the usual anti-vaccine conspiracy BS. HuckleB Mar 2015 #55

Show some decency, that's absolutely ludicrous. The source is the Charlotte Observer: READ IT. (nt) proverbialwisdom Mar 2015 #56

You never show anyone decency. HuckleB Mar 2015 #57

Anyone who reads can see you're wrong, IMO. (nt) proverbialwisdom Mar 2015 #59

Whoa, huge controversy about recent reporting in Canada's largest daily newspaper, The Toronto Star. proverbialwisdom Mar 2015 #60

Just looking for recent Menendez/autism news on Google and this popped up. Was it reported anywhere? proverbialwisdom Mar 2015 #61
