    Because, doing 1 vaccine every few months is less likely to cause risk to the life and well being of the child. Then to be lazy and give them 8-12 in a six month period.

    First off, I've gotten off my ass and read about 50 sites on this crap. What you posted has zero informative benefit. You're telling me what I already know. FDA first rejected because testing were mostly focused on the young. Then declared the follow up data on older patients to insufficient.

    But take your head our your arse and think for a moment. Proven safe for mandatory vaccination in children. Shown equally safe in a smaller subset of adults. Building on an already established clause. Has been shown to have several benefits for older adults.

    And the reason to not expand it....

    Seriously, I don't think there should be any vaccine that a child can be mandated while telling the parent it's not safe enough for them.

    And yes, a few doctors will prescribe it, but it's damn hard to find one.

    If he dismisses it becauce he believes the complication rate is 1 in a 1000. And every time there is any incident, dismisses it for that reason. He is, creating his own false dichotomy.

    Actually no, I just call BS on your implementation of science.

    Okay, so let's be a little bit more honest.

    HPV vaccine, it's now REQUIRED by some states at urging of FDA. And yet, my wife who is 27, is unable to get the vaccine. Nor am I...

    So the FDA feels that vaccines are safe enough to push for mandates for my kids; but then is afraid to let me take it.

    Seriously Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot!?!

    ***

    As for the science, well considering how few vaccine related incidents are ever even attributed to vaccines. I am skeptical, the analysis can be right. But if the data is poor, the science means very little.

    My daughter received a multi-vaccine for resperatory diseases (croup and diphtherea). Within 24 hours we were in the ER with my 18 month old getting breathing treatments. I bet you $50 even though I submitted that incident to VARS, that it's not associated or listed. Even though the fact is, it was clearly a 'possible vaccine related illness'. No, I am not saying it's a 100% assured to have been vaccine related. But the causality argument for it is pretty strong.

    But here's what happens. Doctors believe that there is almost no vaccine related issue. So when they're presented with an issue that is probably vaccine related. They dismiss it. And so the data is a very very poor sampling.

    So sorry, I am pro-science. Pro-vaccine. Just have issue with how the FDA handles and mandates some of them. And even more issue with the fact that we give 18 month old immune systems up to 6 vaccines in a single office visit.

    And if you think that's a scienfically smart practice. You need to pull your head out of the textbook which is stuck in your arse.

    Likewise, another argument. I email every one who send me email, that in order to do so, they are subject to a license agreement in which their very souls become my possession, and all material possessions - and since companies are people too, they are subject as well.

    Since Adobe sent me an email after I sent them the license notification. They are now subject to my license terms. Yes, it's stupid. But it's essentially what EULAs do.

    I click, because if I am ever sued over an EULA, I will demand a jury. And demand that the jury read the EULA. I will then provide them an updated EULA before the trial is over. And demand they read that as well. If I feel the jury is still, not convinced of the fact that EULAs should be non-enforceable. I will provide a third update.

    If I lose my case, then I know this world is so utterly insane....that what I do doesn't really matter. And I will ensure the publisher of the EULA is eradicated from this insane holo-simulation.

    So, let's look at things....

    FIrst off, the Jewish population in the region grew fairly concurrently with the Palestinian. Go back 200 years and neither population was very large.

    Second, much of the land was actually purchased by the owning parties.

    Thirdly, you may be right. There are probably some who lost their homes from 1948 (but remember, it wasn't the Jews that attacked and declared they were going to push them all into the sea). So if you pick a fight, and lose....don't bitch about it.

    Fourth, and lastly, hundreds of thousands of Jews were likewise displaced from surrounding Arab nations in which they had lived for centuries.

    Oh, let's add a fifth. Jewish controlled territory is 1/1,000th of Muslim controlled territory. Can't the muslim fucking share a bit of land without demanding the genocide and death of a people?

    But Jews only control one small 1/1,000th of territory compared to Muslims.

    And so everythign I said was quite valid.

    "Jews can live in most Muslim majority countries as well."

    No no-muslims can live in muslim territories without persecution. That's why Islamic nations are at war EVERYWHERE they exist, and don't have total control. (Middle East, Indian, Philipines, Thailand, Africa, etc, etc)

    Um, wait, the Jews were ethnically cleansed from their ancestral homeland. Oh, and let's not forget, that the Jewish population has grown in conjunction with the Palestinian population over the past 150 years.

    It was really just when the "control" of the land changed, not the population. You see, fundamentalist Muslims cannot let muslim controlled territory revert to non-muslims.
