I fail to see what the good Lord has to do with this.

The whole science in this science fiction show is sorely lacking. Someone is going to die of hepatitis if they keep playing with needles like they do.

Lazy? Would you spend your day working if you lived in La Isla Bonita?

Is the version for women going to be called the GYNO?

No "dimension of pure chaos. Pure... Evil" Would have been a better headline.

Witty. But I still don't know if I like you or not. I mean, you think you're people, and that is endearing all in itself, but telling me what to do is annoying and childish.

Are you kidding me? California is so dry and hot right now (in the middle of goddamned winter), that it will burn like a match no matter where a bomb falls.

What's next? Belgians in the Congo?

You have a swimming pool?

I want to feel bad for him, but I can't. They should have rehearsed this over and over again, and he should have been medicated if he was going to be that anxious. But that's just me.

Yep. Not spiders.

I checked every nook and cranny, yes.

What? You've never heard of orchitis? Look it up.

Yeah, they're not dangerous. I've peed into a urinal at a park and had the same thing happen. Needless to say, I peed fast.

They also don't have to get mumps and "football testicles" (orchitis). They have it too easy. :-p

Thanks. Yes, of all the vaccines, that one prevents some really scary birth defects. Even measles (not German measles) can do a number on the unborn child.

Ah, I see what you mean.

It happened that she had all those things and HPV on top of that. They vetted her story very well. (I know most of the people behind the scenes at VfV.)

She added it to the list to warn about forgoing the current vaccine. It's as if I told you how bad polio was in the 1930s to warn you about not vaccinating for polio…

It happened. She threw in the HPV bit because she was writing her experience to warn against forgoing the HPV vaccine. It's not just about the embarrassing warts, it's about abnormal Pap smears and waiting a long time for the results.

A friend of mine who is an epidemiologist investigated and wrote-up a case of Congenital Rubella Syndrome, something we hardly ever see in the US, except when anti-vaccine people travel abroad, get pregnant, get German measles, and condemn their child to a lifetime of horror: http://thepoxesblog.wordpress.com/2013/12/2…
