    Perhaps you have not realized yet, but it was obvious from the discussion: new born infants don't get a vaccine. They get anti bodies. Unfortunately the laymen english does not distinguish that.

    So: no, a new born has no working immune system, that can work with 'standard vaccinations' no idea what you guys learn in school or in life. Before age of 6 weeks, it makes absolute zero sense to give a 'standard vaccine' (not antibodies, immunoglobin) to infants.

    And we know that the efficacy of infant HepB vaccination is far better than "a small chance". Yes: because it is the HepB antibody, and not a vaccination!!

    The "legality" of having a camera in a private residence, in a "public" space like a living room or kitchen is probably pretty sound.

    Not like the owners can really bitch about damage, since the camera is either against AirBnB's ToS or outright illegal. Possibly both.

    Just because one is richer you take more money from him? For what reason? The service is the same, the costs are the same.

    The proposals are not about costs anyway, they are about not even delivering the service. Why can I not see the same movie in Estonia that I see in Germany? Why are some services simply saying: "uh ... you are not at home? Sorry: no service."

Firth of all the continent had not drifted so far and secondly the earth axis was different. No idea why "climate researchers" don't know basic stuff like this. (There was even a period where Antarctica already was down there, but the earth axis was in a position that half of it was in tempered zones ... one idea why some people think the mythical Atlantis could have been there before the last "ice age")

    Yeah,
    high risk my ass.

    Sorry, a vaccine given just shortly after birth is not working.

    In Germany Hep-B vaccine is given after 6 weeks, go figure.

    And despite your protestations, plenty of European countries also give the Hep-B vaccine at birth
    I did not get vaccinated, I'm to old :P.

    Anyway: you are contradicting yourself.

    A) does a vaccine work when given at birth?
    B) where is the high risk of infection if everyone is vaccinated at birth?

    Good luck figuring out what is true :P

    Looking at the link you gave, those vaccinations seem to be "passive" vaccinations as in giving immunoglobulin to babies where the mother is infected. They are not "vaccinations" in the traditional sense. Probably the same is true for the original post I answered to.

    What you mean with "post-vax"?
    She got symptoms right after vaccination? That can happen, after all the vaccine consist out of virus fragments of the virus it should vaccinate against.
    She got sick later? Can happen, too. Vaccine is not guaranteed to work!!

    You can even get sick from the vaccine, but that is rare, and it should not be any different than getting sick from the real thing.

    Wow,
    that list is absurd. No wonder people are against it.
    First of all new borns basically have no immune system. Vaccination before about 6 weeks is completely pointless (and is only working if the mother gives breast milk).
    Vaccines given before the immune system can react on them are pointless.
    The first vaccinations in Germany are done around 6 - 8 weeks, and the important ones, like hepatitis etc. after 8 weeks.

    And all this is well known, why anyone in the US demands a child gets vaccinated at birth, when the vaccine can not even work, is beyond me.
