You guys ever had a good back-and-forth about vacination?
Search is giving me nothing good. But I’m not claiming to be good at using google either, lol.

There was something on here a while back, maybe two years ago, possibly three, when the flu was going around really bad, and a few posters got into pretty good debate about vaccinations. There were really good arguments on both sides, with the “vaccination side” getting a pretty good defense from a poster with a name similar to apbt#### who had a picture of a pit bull as his avatar, and who apparently worked at a pharm company developing such vaccines.
I had never thought about it until my son was born, and then I went through a really hard spot trying to decide what I wanted him to have or not have, and how much was really necessary and if certain things were not just an unnecessary danger to his life.
I’ve never had a flu shot and I NEVER get the flu. Yet, I meet people all the time who get the shot then get the damned flu anyway.
I’m not saying one thing or another, other than it is a hard topic and yeah, an interesting one.
I’ll see if I can drudge up that thread, but no promises. [/quote]
NICE!
I only got the flu shot AFTER I got swine. That shit kicked my ass, and with an infant I figured I would “play the odds” and get one before she was born so as to hope to not be down with the flu again while my wife needed me…
I had some reservations about the vacines as well.
I don’t have a horse in the race, certainly my opinion and my actions, but I would love to hear the debate.[/quote]
I found it; or rather, one thread among many from that time. But I think it is the one I was remembering and is a good, not-too-long discussion of the subject that still manages to dig pretty deep into the topic.
See the new Vaccinations thread. I was going to just bump the old thread but it is locked.
