Right. When people get sick after vaccination, it's either low level from the immune response elicited by the vaccination OR they contacted it before they had fully developed immunoglobulins (it DOES take a while, about 7-14 days).

Exactly - and same with the TdaP!

Another great question writingfrightening! Basically, at one point, there were trace amounts of mercury/thimerosal in vaccines for stabilization purposes. However it has been removed starting in the 1980's. The argument about formaldehyde and other "chemicals" is also laughable if you think about what chemicals and…

Good question lea! The issue with all of these disease is they are vector-borne diseases that use an arthropod as an intermediate host and a human as a final host. Yellow fever is a tricky one because you can get a vaccination that can be somewhat effective, but mostly it's better at reducing severity of the disease.…

Happy to help :)

Done! Now to get it out of the grey...

By request, I'm going to tell you guys about some of the science behind vaccinations/immunizations, why it's important to get them, and why "over-vaccination" isn't something that can occur. Many of you that support vaccinations may know some of this, but perhaps I can provide a little more "technical" insight into…

I'm a professional (Hey mom, I'm an Immunologist!) and say it is NOT possible to over-vaccinate. I'd go into details, but ehhhh no one really wants me to talk about IgG and IgM peaks.

Are you a birth control researcher? Is that why this is so important to you? Because...I am a researcher too! And I totally think it's acceptable for a woman to take birth control because being pregnant can be far worse!

My biggest issue with amazing list is that Albuquerque in NOT the vaginal-painting capital of the world....that would be Santa Fe, a lovely hours drive north.

Or call them "stuffins" and use my delicious recipe: http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/holida…

I got something like this for my dad on his 60th birthday, except he loved flying/air-shows/has his pilot's license so we got him a flight in a fighter jet. Four years later, he STILL talks about it.

I think you just found my dad's gift! Thanks dear! <3

HUG. Christmas is rough for those of us who have lost their parents.

Those are likely King's, which look LIKE Emperor penguins, just a little smaller. Emperor penguin are MASSIVE. Like, take a 8 year old massive. I think the other one could be a Macaroni or a Rockhopper, but the beak-shape is leading me more towards Macaroni. Lastly, I did some googling, and it looks like the other…

These are Magellenic, Macaroni, and King penguins. All of these species can be found in environments like the Falklands...so while the zoo might not have good reviews, it's not unnatural to find these species in the same space.

Once had a lady doc (WHOSE LAST NAME WAS HYMEN, NOT EVEN KIDDING) who told me I had "soft and supple breasts." Sigh.

Probably not, because there are a bunch of fucking nuts who like to protest outside an abortion providers HOUSE here. Not office, but their house!

I feel betrayed by my English translation of the sign next to it.

Yeah, they've moved it from Husavik to Reykjavik now and looks more official - it's right off one of the main streets (Laugavegur) now. Still awkward, but I liked it in the old place more!
