The States: At Least Michigan is Better Than Indiana

Re: The States: At Least Michigan is Better Than Indiana

But we were told by these same Republicans a few years back that we should just take the "L" with grace and get out of their way.

Too good to take their own advice?


Fu** the GOP.


*edit* The playbook started in North Carolina. Now Wisconsin. Can't wait for it to go national in 2020. :rolleyes:

BTW, the article is far more revealing of Debbie than I think she intended when she agreed to speak to them. If it weren't for the anti-Trumpist wave, she would be on thin ice.

From the WaPo:

“Chickenpox has taken hold of a school in North Carolina where many families claim religious exemption from vaccines.”

Poor kids with idiot parents
 
Re: The States: At Least Michigan is Better Than Indiana

I honestly had no idea there was a chickenpox vaccine.

Does anyone know if there are any benefits to it over just getting chickenpox? Other than not being sick, of course. Any impact on shingles later in life?

Edit: seems like risk to children is relatively low. Still not a good reason to skip the vaccine.

When I was growing up it was pretty standard that if one child contracted chicken pox, you would expose other children to that child. It was thought that it was much better to get the disease as a child than as an adult. There was no vaccine then, for children, as I recall.

Chicken pox becomes more deadly when you hit a certain age, and thus parents would expose their children to it. That's what happened to me, I was exposed as a toddler.

That said, there's a vaccine. Why make your children suffer needlessly?

Because Science is Evil. And so is Engineering. Profit is devine.

If you were exposed as a kid you don't need the vaccine.

The shingles vaccine is still worthwhile once you are eligible to get it, though.
 
Re: The States: At Least Michigan is Better Than Indiana

Agreed on the shingles vaccine. That isn’t fun to watch someone go through. I don’t know if my family is particularly susceptible, but everyone on my mom’s side has gotten them and often it’s been bad.

I understand you only need it for kids who haven’t been exposed. I’m just wondering what the benefits are. I’m a vaccine proponent. I have probably overdone it a few times with a few of my friends who don’t get the flu vaccine because “reasons”. I have no problem telling them they’re being selfish arseholes. Having the facts about the chickenpox vaccine just makes it easier to make a point. That’s all I’m looking for and hopefully that puts my post in context.
 
Re: The States: At Least Michigan is Better Than Indiana

Had a conversation with someone over the weekend about flu vaccinations at a major twin cities hospital. They said the vaccination craze is overdone and that the general agreement at their hospital is that they don't see much of a difference in outcomes in those with vaccinations.

Before insta-flaming begins - I'm getting my vaccination next week.
