  1. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's why that clip posted earlier is so funny to me: "And if little Timmy is lucky enough to get the mumps, why, that's practically a free

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If someone feeds their children unhealthy food, doesn't provide them with enough sleep, etc., that's sad and should be addressed, but it doesn't impact the population at large in the way that an...

  5. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When I was a kid, pretty much everyone got chicken pox in childhood. So unlike today's young people, people my age can say we've known a lot of people who ended up with pretty bad scarring on their...

  6. Another potential Ebola case in CA

    Horseshoe replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because the flu vaccine has such a volatile and sketchy history regarding its efficacy during any given year, I get that it doesn't get a lot of respect. I generally don't engage in any flu shot...

  10. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What is the point of this post? Forgetting the patently false statement that measles doesn't kill (not to mention the other adverse effects), are you saying that because the MMR doesn't get 100% of...

  15. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What "agenda" is being carried out with regard to preventing illnesses like polio, measles, mumps, rubella, etc.? These diseases used to decimate populations. They caused death, permanent...

  18. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    So what? The timing of the MMR should have zero to do with commencement of sexual activity. If this person's children are vaccinated according to schedule and receive boosters as recommended, they...

  19. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Emphasis is mine. Please tell me you are joking. Why are you linking the age of sexual activity with the MMR vaccine?! None of the diseases in that vaccine are STDs. I am truly shaking my head at...

    Horseshoe replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

  24. The Story of Jahi Continues

    Horseshoe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Was he documented to be BRAIN DEAD? No, he absolutely was not. He was in a coma, or PVS. People have been known to "wake up" from those conditions. Not possible with brain death. These...
