Also, HepC doesn’t have a vaccine, so I’m a little confused why you’re bringing that into the discussion.

Actually, I just realized the odds are even less dramatic when compared with the baseline. As a baseline, children have a 1 in 25 chance (http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/febr…) of having at least one febrile seizure, or a 4% probability. From that standpoint, MMR increases the risk of at least one febrile seizure…

Personally, I would use a different risk equation, then, if I were you. You have a 1/3000 chance of a seizure due to fever. This is a febrile seizure: http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/febr…. 95%-98% of children recover entirely, with 2-5% developing epilepsy. 1% of children who never have febrile seizures develop…

I think this is one of the more intelligent arguments against vaccinations as recommended by the CDC, in your case delayed. But I have a few concerns, mostly when it comes to applying what you’ve discovered:

CVS gives shots because there’s enough demand for it to be economically feasible. CVS and pharmaceuticals would make more money if people got the disease and then needed to be treated. Think: sell shots, or sell tissues and acetaminophen and antibiotics and thermometers and (etc.)...

I’m really unsure what you’re trying to say. I was only answering one specific question: is it worthwhile to space out vaccines? I came up with an answer of “no, it’s not worthwhile to space out vaccines.” I didn’t address any other question.

Eh... I figure when the number comes out so ridiculously low, calculating error bars on things is a waste of time. The error bars on the original figures would have to be drastically huge to make a difference.

Right, I assumed the odds of allergy were independent of each other. If they aren’t, I could see it going several ways:

Yeah, I was going for the worst-case scenario. I think you’d have to work really hard and probably lie to a few doctors for them to unnecessarily give you that many shots in one day to cover your vaccination schedule.

I was writing a reply post to one on Carson and Trump, but it applies even more here. As part of the reply, I looked at the odds of having an allergic reaction to two shots at once.

iOS 9’s News app has permanently crashed after opening an article in Search, and nothing will revive it. And my keyboard apps still sometimes don’t appear, I’ve had that bug as long as I’ve had my 6 Plus. And once it refused to switch to LTE from Edge. But mostly it’s been a pretty happy camper, with slow graphics. I…

Have you actually sat in one, or are you speculating?

Well, if you find out, and it's not a hassle, I'd be interested to know!

Interesting aside (to me anyways): by "a physiologic variant of the female phenotype" do you mean morphology? Or is there a difference/distinction between the two?

Re. Studies: Oh very cool. I know, the AMA has issues sometimes, but I find myself on board with them 90% of the time if not more. I'm pretty sure if they, and the whole field, agree that non-disclosure is the best public health policy, that's the right way to go. I guess we weren't quite all on the same side, but…

Oh - I found something on Tone argument:

Well - I was trying to suggest that if a 9-year-old is a dead-end debate and a 16-year-old should be able to make their own decisions and get an abortion and is also a dead-end debate, then where does it switch over in the middle and why? Isn't that an important question?

It's really intense to hear from about these things first-hand. Thank you for sharing your perspective and experience. I don't know what it's like, but it sounds like you've had it rough, and that sucks.

*sighs* This is just a general unawareness of what "invasive" means. "Invasive" means a medical professional entering the body, i.e. a medical procedure. So cotton-swabbing the inside of your cheek for DNA is invasive. And an incision (hopefully followed up by stitches) is invasive. But a knife wound isn't…

That's fascinating, I had no idea. It's definitely one way of approaching the problem. I wonder how far the emancipation extends. Emancipation opens up children (edit: I mean minors) to legal risks too, right? And what happens when it ends? It sounds like a mess, but it solves at least the abortion problem, I…
