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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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
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...
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...
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,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
"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...
