    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You have provided no "data." You have provided links to anti-vax web sites and opinion essays which contain no "data", not peer reviewed scientific journals. Not studies which have results which have...

    I'm trying to distinguish between misunderstanding and deliberate misstatement of fact. No answer just yet. My Dad had non Hodgkins lymphoma, which has a high rate of cure with chemo and is most...

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You have conveniently left out the fact that before the advent of vaccines and modern medicine, millions upon millions of people DIDN'T survive "just fine." That's just pure nonsense. Infectious...
