There are anti-vaccination people right here for you to kill while you wait.

I think they all have left.

[Varaj]

100% agree. Anti-vaccination groups kill children.

I think they all have left.

I think all we have now are "postpone vaccination until the kids are a little older" people.

[Ditto.]

is there a real difference? Or is waiting a bit a bad thing in terms of creating that herd immunity?

I think all we have now are "postpone vaccination until the kids are a little older" people.

The only downside is many of the illnesses prevented by vaccination kill at an early age. A delay of more than a few months isn't much better than not vaccinating.

"nobody died of whooping cough the 30 years ago" (By nobody I assume she means she had it as a kid and got better)

I've no figures on 30 years ago but just 7 years ago over 190,000 people (http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/w/whooping_cough/deaths.htm) died from it, mainly in places without immunisation programs. That woman is a idiot.

Worldwide, there are an estimated 300,000 annual deaths due to pertussis.

Interesting. It seems that a delay of whooping cough vaccination by even a few weeks accounts for extra infant deaths a year.

You'll get no argument from me. I thought someone should've put their foot up her ass a long time ago.

That's it. From now on, I'm going to refuse to watch any Jenny McCarthy television shows or movies, and will refuse to read any of her books, or consume any frozen meals she endorses, and will turn up my nose at any magazine she appears in. I will no longer give her another ounce of my interest. For that matter, when I pass her on the street I will cross to the other side and refuse to acknowledge her. Heck fire, while I'm at it, Jenny's OFF the future potential wife list.
