  1. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's because this message board is full of educated individuals who are not pathetically gullible and take "I feels" and "I believes" as evidence, who don't refer to or list mommy blogs in a...

  2. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No, with respect to science and public health and policy, personal observation is never enough and should never be enough. In fact, that statement is further evidence that you have ZERO credible data...

  3. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Let's see if we can explain things in a very simple way, since that is apparently what's necessary here. Pick up flu virus off a surface, then wash hands before touching face or anything else=no flu...

  4. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    FACTS, not FEELINGS should be what drives behavior and public health policy.

  5. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Klone posted the 1000th post! Does she get a

  6. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There really isn't any point. Her ignorance is astounding. Some of her false statements are imo deliberately disingenuous. Other times, she is purposefully obtuse. She still has yet to provide...

  7. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Per usual, andi78 presents us with the same cast of characters, NONE of whom are experts in vaccines, immunology, or epidemiology, propagating the same tripe as in her other links. A review of the...

  8. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Horrible, I know. My baby didn't have pertussis, but she did have a severe case of croup at one year old, and when she began kicking her legs furiously in panic during the worst of it, I nearly passed...

  9. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good point about the "fanaticism" aspect of many of the ant-vaxxers stances. It seems that some of them become so invested in defending this that even when information is presented which absolutely...

  10. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, she did say when a patient with a known infectious disease is on her unit, she wears a mask. Of course, MOST of us know that with many infectious diseases, they (and we as caregivers) can be...

  11. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    LOL, I got norovirus on a cruise. It hit me just as the taxi was pulling up to our house after the trip was over. Talk about "up and running." I was in the house so fast! I was so lucky at the...

  12. mandatory flu shot

    Horseshoe replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, but andi78 claims that calling a flu related pneumonia a flu death is a lie. If you get pneumonia while battling the flu, you have NOT died of the flu. Which of course means that my...

  13. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh no !!!!! I felt the same and at the time would have viewed dying as a relief. Swallowing was pure torture, my fever was 104, and my body aches were so excruciating I had to take Lortab elixir in...

  14. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    True, and a Devil's advocate would say your back improved in six weeks simply because six weeks passed, that it would have happened that way with or without the

    Horseshoe replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Nothing to do with vaccines, but ZDoggMD also has a cute video re: testicular

    Horseshoe replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's what I was able to ascertain about them. They provide a place to review the

  17. mandatory flu shot

    Horseshoe replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    First of all, when you make an assertion and back it up with a link which does not work, THAT's ON YOU. We should not have to do our own research to see if a statement you have made is true. YOU...

  18. mandatory flu shot

    Horseshoe replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are clearly either a troll or a true narcissist. I know I have followed this thread from the time it was first started as have most of the people still posting on it. In fact, my first post is on...

  19. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The phenomenon of herd immunity is not part of a belief system, it is a point of fact. If a high enough percentage of people are vaccinated, the chances of the vulnerable (too young,...

  20. mandatory flu shot

    Horseshoe replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    From what I can find, the Cochrane Collaboration does NOT conduct research studies. Therefore, I'll be generous and say that the wording of this is completely disingenuous, particularly since the...

  21. mandatory flu shot

    Horseshoe replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, surprise surprise. If you want to read about the study "completed by Cochrane Collaboration" referenced in the post above, you are not going to find it by clicking on the link provided by the...

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course it does. I think everyone on this thread knows this and most of us have learned a thing or two from your very helpful posts. This is where "you don't know what you don't know" becomes...

  24. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No one is interested in changing your mind. They are simply interested in exposing your poor methods of evaluating the literature, and they have done that very well. You, with your 2.5 years of...

  25. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    "That piece of paper" represents years of in depth study. Only a person with minimal education would suggest otherwise, because they truly don't know what they don't know. The posters here who have...
