You may have missed the part where they state that the strain that existed in vaccinated mice, while able to spread despite the vaccine, was actually poorly adapted to spreading. Hence bouncing back to its original form when it found an unvaccinated host.

I think there is a large gap between smearing people who pose a clear and present danger to themselves and the people around them for something that they are able to change but choose not to and smearing people with higher melanin content in their skin.

People with higher education and income levels don't vaccinate because they have absolute faith that they're capable of interpreting information and making informed decisions about stuff they in no way understand. Why pay attention to how immunization works when they can look at Mercola.com, listen to Jenny…

Thank you! We're very excited. :)

At first, I agreed with the author of this 800-word post, the NIH, and numerous international health organizations on the nature of viruses and the relationships between vaccinated and non-vaccinated groups.

I'm four months pregnant and have been hanging out on a pregnancy forum for info/support, etc. I shopped around and chose one that seemed to be the least crunchy/granola-y and had a fairly intelligent core group of users.

Here's the reason I think a lot of the anti-vacc crowd feels like it's ok to not vacc: because we have not an epidemic if communicable illness that's killed millions in several generations aside from HIV/AIDS. It's almost like they think that because these epidemics don't happen in the western world (because of…

I'm a baby boomer, roughly the same age as some of the kids in the photos. We were so happy to line up and get our vaccinations — especially the polio vaccine (we had the pink vaccine on sugar cubes!) because we knew what happened to kids with polio. My grandmother remembered that during the Spanish flu pandemic the…

The state can't force people to inject foreign material into a child's bloodstream or muscle tissue.

While there are some diseases that can be eliminated by changed behavior, I think flu, measles, mumps, whooping cough and many other viruses transmit through human contact, which can't and shouldn't be eliminated. Others, like polio, get transmitted because we have contact with water that has also made contact with…

manmade conditions. you mean the fact that we are alive?

I would say that's not correct. If you have the vaccine and then get the flu, you might be the reason it mutates. Or someone who already had the flu might be the reason it mutates (people do catch the same flu multiple times). The difference is, the person who didn't have the vaccine will have given the flu chances…

One of the worst pandemics in recent history was caused by the "common flu." That was the Spanish Flu pandemic in 1918-19. It killed millions. The root cause of the pandemic was a flu virus. The uproar over flu vaccines today comes from the fact that flu kills people in massive numbers.

Is it just me, or did the title somehow become more sensational in the last hour?

Your comment doesn't even make sense. Some people won't get the flu even if they don't get vaccinated because of antibodies? Um, duh. This has nothing to do with people willfully not vaccinating people at risk and the most susceptible to passing it on. There are serious strains of flu going around this year, so hyping…

Nope. If you don't vaccinate, you're sure to get a pandemic that decimates your population. If you vaccinate partly, you're very likely to get one. If you vaccinate as much of your population as you can, you're unlikely to see a pandemic. So if you're worried about dying from a pandemic, then the problem is resisting…

First of all, this is a new thing. The human population has skyrocketed, and our dense cities, coupled with airline transportation, make a pandemic virus outbreak much more likely than at any other time in history. Plus, we now have public health systems that can offer vaccines to help contain this novel threat.…
