Like with everything, there is a risk/benefit ratio in play with vaccines. IE: my grandmother's cousin died from lockjaw as a child- tetanus- a truly horrible death that used to happen with some frequency. I remember them talking about it with very quiet voices; then admonishing me to be grateful that I was not at risk for such a thing because the heroic doctors of the era had invented vaccines against it.
Now it is different, the vacs are made differently, much more complex, and the sheer number Big Pharma pushes is beyond belief. It is as if they are suffering from a disconnect with the rational side of medicine. Of course this gets into the politics of it all, which has nothing to do with medicine, health or the good of the country as a whole.

Right! All vaccines are dangerous. I was pretty appalled when my brother told me they are now pushing yet another vaccine--this one for shingles.Samala, Renee -------Original Message-------I doubt very much that a vaccine would work with shingles, as I don't personally think they work with anything much. My dog was vaccinated against Parvo and got it and my daughter and her whole company were vaccinated against 'flu and they all came down with some dreadful virus. Dee
