Ooooh really? I might hit you up for that. There have been a number of times when I have been thwarted by being unable to access articles. Thanks!

I would have to pull them down load them and then send them to you via email. I don't think we have the bandwidth to post multipage documents as attachments to threads.

OK... if I find something I really MUST have and my housemate can't access it for me through her lab, I'll PM you.

Thanks!

What does "served" mean?

I will contribute to the tip jar (Faust at PD can testify) when I am no longer flat broke. :P

1 in 12,000 is a pretty high incidence in medicine. And most likely due to the severity of intussusception for the infants that get it, not worth the risk-benefit ratio.

Yes, it makes sense that it was withdrawn, and replaced by a safer version of the vaccine, also developed by Offit.

You knocked that out of the park.

This thread is the awesomest.

I don't think anyone would argue that a rotavirus vaccine itself is a bad thing, or that Offit is some kind of profiteering monster for making the development of one his life's work: http://www.who.int/immunization_moni.../en/index.html

There's an easy test to see if your child has robovirus: hit them in the head with a hammer.

Well I have had rotavirus myself and I have taken care of infants with it. I know plenty of people who have gotten it. I can tell you, it ain't pretty. Most kids who get it in developed countries survive. I am sure it would be quite devastating for those who did not have access to rehydration sources.

05-20-2009, 01:24 PM

Yes, most of the deaths are in underdeveloped, impoverished countries. It's pretty sad.

Flint · 05-20-2009, 01:27 PM

You two are turning this into a real bummer.
