I endured chicken pox. Measles and mumps too. Big f'in deal, I got a few days off school for each one, felt like shit for maybe one day in each case.

I bet you wouldn't survive Smallpox though.

For the 3rd time, there is NO smallpox vaccine requirement for children, and smallpox vaccine is one of the most hideous as far as side effects go.


[link to en.wikipedia.org]

The vaccine can cause complications for those around those who are vaccinated. People who get the vaccine will shed virus particles through vesicles on their skin and possibly through their respiratory tract. Infections in close and not-so-close contacts can ensue. The current plan to vaccinate first responders has the potential to cause infection in the most vulnerable section of the population, the hospitalized ill. Family contacts are also susceptible, although they are less vulnerable because their immune systems are presumably intact. Secondary infection can cause skin disease, pulmonary disease and rarely, neurologic disease.

As of June 21, 2003, a scientific advisory panel had issued a recommendation against further vaccination of first responders because a significant number of those vaccinated suffered heart problems, notably pericarditis and myocarditis.

In May 2007, the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) voted unanimously that a new live virus vaccine produced by Acambis, ACAM2000, is both safe and effective for use in persons at high risk of exposure to smallpox virus. However, due to the high rate of serious adverse effects, the vaccine will only be made available to the CDC (a part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services) for the Strategic National Stockpile.

Those side effects include DEATH. The vaccine effectiveness has never even been studied. Are you going to go get your smallpox vaccine now? Or take your chances?

Not now there is no need NO, why? because Smallpox was eradicated due to a vaccination programme back in the 60s - I was one of those that received that vaccination as was millions of other people and it was due to those vaccinations that Smallpox WAS eradicated, it did not disappear on its own you know!

There is a theory that Smallpox will be used as a biological weapon - strange that, because all Smallpox vaccinations were stopped, therefore a vast number of people on this planet have not been vaccinated against it.

Think outside the box.

And I don't even know if I had a smallpox vaccination. I grew up in the 60's, so maybe so. It was well known then that smallpox was bad news, whereas measles, mumps and chicken pox were normal childhood diseases that everyone (more or less) went through.

Mumps parties for girls. Because it's OK when you're a girl but bad news for the fetus if you get it later when you're carrying a baby.

But it's just distraction to say one should vaccinate for low-risk illnesses because there happens to be another much worse one that could be an issue -- even though it's not. Yes there are things that can cause lots of death. But the things we're now vaccinating for mostly are not worth the risks of the shot.
