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!

Yes, it makes sense that it was withdrawn, and replaced by a safer version of the vaccine, also developed by Offit.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

What does "served" mean?

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

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.

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

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!

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

TheMercenary · 05-20-2009, 01:22 PM

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.

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

You two are turning this into a real bummer.
