You're okay Sundae, I'm just getting warmed up for Merc explaining why we should give babies a cocktail vaccine for measles mumps ruebella chicken pox herpes and various inflenzas marinated in mercury.

Aliantha · 10-21-2008, 07:00 PM

There isn't a vaccine for herpes. If there were I'd suggest everyone get it before they become sexually active.

Griff · 10-21-2008, 07:16 PM

Sorry, how about including HPV or whatever the next wonder vaccine is that's mandated for the betterment of Merck's stockholders er sorry humanity.

Aliantha · 10-21-2008, 07:18 PM

I can see HPV ending up on the standard list of vaccines along with Rubella for teenage girls.

Griff · 10-21-2008, 07:20 PM

It may not be a bad idea, but I hate that my kids are in the age group that would be the test subjects and they wouldn't admitt a problem if there was one.

Aliantha · 10-21-2008, 07:22 PM

I don't think medical companies get away with faulty drugs for very long these days. There's just too much information sharing...and lots and lots of whistle blowers.

I certainly understand your concerns though.

jinx · 10-21-2008, 07:23 PM

At least if it's mandated, mercury free (single dose vials) options will be made available... eventually - although not to the people getting it free from the company bucket... Personally, I'm also not too keen on aluminum, formaldehyde, and genetically engineered virii myself...

Griff · 10-21-2008, 07:26 PM

Ruebella is mandated before school here, unfortunately they usually try to give it in a cocktail to little ones not teens, so you get a lot of high temps, the occasional death, and some say autism or compromised immune systems.

jinx · 10-21-2008, 07:27 PM

And it wears off just in time for the girls to hit child bearing age - brilliant I tell ya...

Aliantha · 10-21-2008, 07:28 PM

Over here, Rubella is offered usually in the first or second year of high school. I remember I had mine at school. It's not compulsory though. Well it wasn't then. Like everywhere else though, some private schools require immunisation against everything.

May I tell my herpes joke at this point?

Not in all cases. In any case, there are booster shots available for those who are serious about immunisation.

Pretty similar to tetanus really.

If one in seven sexually active people have herpes, that means quite a number of our regulars must have it.
