This is an example of the 75 ever reported deaths after a Hep B vaccine... was the vaccine the cause of his death? I think not... VAERS ID25520 Vaccination Date:1988-02-03Age71.0 Onset...

Have you ever sat and read these VAERS ? If you have you will know that just because it is on VAERS doesnt mean it is actually vaccine related. If a child recieves and vaccine and a few days later...

I developed shingles when I was 18 and had JUST found out I was pregnant. So of course they gave me absolutely nothing for pain or anything either. They were NOT fun at all and I do not want them...

i just checked out the site for the first time... Why do people not get their info straight before posting such garbage on the internet! For one thing, Thimersol has been out of vaccines for a long...

Betadine to clean, sterile procedure. We pretty much only do straight caths, in and out, to get a good UA (clinic setting). The only time we leave a cath in is if the patient has to go to X-ray then...
I don't know the whole guidelines on HIPAA but I can say that it IS a violation to get into ANYONE'S medical chart (grandmother or not) without the need to do so. Her pulling her grandmother's chart...
