Don't look now but Whooping Cough is still around. Polio was decreasing by the time the vaccine was released. My public health instructor used to say that more lives were saved by proper sanitation than all the vaccines in the world. I think she was right. Also, people that are vaccinated still come down with the diseases they were vaccinated for. Huh, how about that? > She's lucky she didn't grow up among a large population of other > children who likewise DIDN'T get vaccinated. But she did. Rural Malaysia and lots of kids don't get vaccinated. Pretty filthy conditions with the chickens running around everywhere. > > I have spent many years in classrooms and I have YET to see a child > adversely impacted by vaccinations. Maybe the disabled children weren't in your classes. They might have been too disabled to make it in. > My own children have been > vaccinated and routinely get their booster shots.

Here we agree. Like I said, I'm not an anti-vaccination wacko but they just aren't safe enough for me or my family. Me? Lots of problems. I don't know that I blame the vaccines but I don't think they helped all that much. I certainly got plenty of childhood diseases. You do it your way, I'll do it mine.
