  1. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Emphasis is mine. Well, andi78 for one. Oh wait. She said it's not scary, not that it's not deadly. So it's deadly, but not scary, because cancer kills more people every

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's statements like this that make it impossible to believe you are actually researching this using reputable science and research. If you refuse to knowingly introduce "chemicals" such as...

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When you make statements like the above (really, the formaldehyde thing again?!), it makes it seem unlikely that you have actually done your due

  5. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The placebo effect works both ways. People who are receiving a placebo often report improvement of their symptoms. And in pretty much every med trial/study, they also report adverse effects. If...

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's actually not true. Vaccine rates are falling below the threshold needed to maintain herd immunity in some areas. That's not a good

  9. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, for one, because millions of children under the age of 12 months who have not been able to be vaccinated against all these diseases become even more vulnerable when eligible individuals decline...

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you come across a link to the actual interview you described above, I'd sure love to have it. I'm sorry I missed that

  11. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No one is taking away anyone's choice. They are simply saying that with every choice comes consequences, and the proposal is that kids whose parents refuse to vaccinate them not be allowed to attend...

    Yeah, I don't get the logic there (of the post to which you were

  13. mandatory flu shot

    Horseshoe replied to Mando7475's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No one will ever take away that choice from any nurse. There well may be consequences to that choice which are unpleasant, but I think it is disingenuous when nurses (not necessarily you) say that...

  14. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes, this has already been discussed in posts after mine. I realize that, we were just talking about pre-vaccine stories. There are still samples of smallpox around....you know that the "bad guys"...

  18. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well said, dinah77. Note that there is no formaldehyde in the MMR shot. So which vaccines have formaldehyde in them, and how much is present? I must emphasize that the quotes above do come from a...

  19. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Isn't it interesting how some people try to slip a little word like that into conversation, hoping that it will make an impact and the person listening will believe it as fact? Not happening in this...

  20. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Do you realize that the original study which linked the MMR with autism was completely discredited because, among other things, the study author was found to have committed several serious ethical...

  24. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes I know. But this is a thread about the diseases pre-vaccine. It just came to mind when someone mentioned the smallpox vaccine. Many anti-vaxxers are against any vaccines at all. Would they...

    My pediatrician group had a separate waiting room for anyone with a fever. Obviously, it wasn't anti-vaxxer specific, however. Pediatrician's offices will be a risky place for a baby to be if the...
