Any of you upset over your healthcare law?

Vaccines are very difficult - I understand Luciano's situation and its hearting breaking but... vaccines do have a very large social wellfare element to them as without widespread vaccination they are proven to be ineffective.

It then becomes a very sad statistics issue - 1 in 1,000,000 complications from a vaccine vs how many people could die from a bug should it spread...

It is difficult to argues against smallpox vacines for example:

During the 20th century, it is estimated that smallpox was responsible for 300–500 million deaths.[9][10][11] In the early 1950s an estimated 50 million cases of smallpox occurred in the world each year.[12] As recently as 1967, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 15 million people contracted the disease and that two million died in that year.[12] After successful vaccination campaigns throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, the WHO certified the eradication of smallpox in December 1979.[12] To this day, smallpox is the only human infectious disease to have been eradicated

Do some research on the spanish flu for example - It is difficult to call H1N1 a non event / hoax when you see what could have happened and I personally believe will happen one day...


One thing I do disagree with is how much they give kids at once - The only reason they combined MMR is to reduce the number of doctors visits and hence reduce costs / avoid people not completing the course. I SHOULD have the choice to come back to the docs 6 times if I wish...
