The chickenpox vaccine is not part of the UK childhood vaccination programme, because experts think that introducing a chickenpox vaccination for children could increase the risk of shingles in older people. It is used to protect people who are most at risk of a serious chickenpox infection.
Chickenpox is usually a mild illness, particularly in children. The condition is so common in childhood that 90% of adults who grow up in the UK are immune to the chickenpox virus because they have had it before.
For the love of God 21st Century if you keep doing this we're going to hit Peak Freak Out in five years.Peak Freak Out is a liberal myth. If we run out of our typical sources of freak out, we will no doubt find sufficient abiogenic freak out to make up for the loss.
When your child screams for four hours straight because their brain is swelling and then has sensory disorders and temper tantrums for years after vaccinating them, I think you would change your tune about vaccinations. I have done my research, a child who is vaccinated is not getting true immunities from anything. They are just being injected with toxins. When the industry starts doing research into the level of toxins and the brain in their lab mice and can tell me it does not do harm, then I would consider it. But the level of toxins they are injecting into babies these days is just unethical. It's all about money plain and simple. The vaccination industry is making millions of dollars off all the gullible people out there who have not done their research.(emphasis mine)

But I doubt that any parent who heard their kid screaming for 4 straight hours because their brain was swelling would stop at ANYTHING to prevent it from happening to them again.
A panel of immunization experts voted today (February 24, 2010) to expand the recommendation for annual influenza vaccination to include all people aged 6 months and older. The expanded recommendation is to take effect in the 2010 – 2011 influenza season. The new recommendation seeks to remove barriers to influenza immunization and signals the importance of preventing influenza across the entire population.posted by jedicus at 2:09 PM on November 7, 2011 [4 favorites]
When Heather Badcock encountered Marina Gregg at the party where she is murdered, she had told her her favourite anecdote about how, years before, she had been ill, but had sneaked out to meet Marina and get her autograph. A terrible expression appeared on Marina's face as she heard this story, reminding a witness of the line from Tennyson's poem. Marina had always desperately wanted children but had found it difficult to conceive...when her baby was born it was found to be mentally handicapped and was abandoned to a lifetime of institutions, leaving Marina emotionally scarred.The plot is thought to be based on the real-life experience of American movie star Gene Tierney.
Miss Marple later deduces what Marina had instantly realised. Heather's minor illness was German measles; she had infected Marina and caused the mental handicap, and effectively the 'loss', of her only child. Marina murdered Heather for revenge.

January was when my son was due for his 18 month scheduled vaccine. I asked the doctor if I could delay it, seeing as the whole family had already been through 6 weeks of misery and I didn't want to make my kid feel sick again after weeks of already being sick. She agreed. About 2 weeks later the whole family was hit by the worst flu I've ever experienced. Two weeks of 102+ fevers, severe respiratory problems, & aches. My skin actually hurt, and I wondered at one point why I wasn't dead yet. After that subsided a few weeks later, I started to notice autism symptoms in my son.
"There is a rumor going around on facebook that people are mailing chicken pox-tainted candy and lollypops to children. This is not true, and parents shouldn't worry; sending chicken pox through the USPS is illegal."The main reason I checked this post was to see why so many people were talking about a dumb internet rumor. To counter this lunacy I'm going to start a facebook rumor that people are sending poison and LSD-laced lollypops to children and officials are urging parents to discard any and all sweets they find in their mailbox.
