Vaxxers. More than stupid, more than uncaringâPennys! People like the Pennys may look perfectly normal, but to an immunocompromised personâlike a chemo patientâthey are deadly as a wild tiger.
I got the Shingleâs vaccine (far from free) because I believe I had chicken pox when a child. Folks on my FB have been commenting lately of getting a case in spite of immunization. I think a lot of those things can be attributed to stress.
Everyone, except the Pennyâs and their ilk, gets stressed occasionally â we have to learn to handle it. Iâm glad that I got my BP under control without meds, so I think Iâll not get the shingles.
I donât think shots would be effective on any of them, the serum would all become embedded in the soft lard layer of their butt, or anywhere else, their arms are huge.
I get angry at people who ignore vaccinating their children or themselves. I have seen these âchildhoodâ diseases and it is not a pretty sight. Thus said if stupidity hasnât killed the Pennys to date I would venture to say they will be the last two humans left on earth. And, I use the term humans loosely.
I had chicken pox when I was 5, the only girl invited to a little boyâs birthday party! And the measles when I was 20, that one from somewhere in Church, and the mumps at 31, from my two kids! And I still got all my shots. The latest: a TDAP, tetnus, diptheria (your vaccination is obsolete folks) whooping cough, we have a mini epidemic in Wash. The only reaction was a red arm from the shingles one. Pneumonia and of course a flu shot every year. BUT I am waiting for one against wrinkles, sagging and gray hair!
The only vaccines I had as a child were smallpox and polio.I remember getting the smallpox scratch at school. Everything else you got and developed natural immunity. I did have to get a Rubella vaccine in my 20âs when a review of my records showed I didnât contract that one as a kid. I had hard measles, mumps on both sides, chicken pox and scarlet fever.
I get especially angry at people not only refusing to get flu shots or vaccinate their children, but going on television or holding rallies to rail against it, which happens in a town near here.
Some ignorantly believe you get the flu from a flu shotâŠ.itâs NOT live vaccine, and canât cause any illness.
Even live vaccines for other diseases wouldnât be given if the side effects werenât preferable to rampant disease.
The most vocal believe in unproven links between childhood vaccines and autism or other medical syndromesâŠwhich most medical authorities consider to have been clinically debunked.
But even if there were some very faint and rare connectionâŠwhich is a worse danger to children?
You want to bring back measles, mumps, chicken pox, diphtheria, whooping cough, polio etcâŠwhich have killed millions in childhood?Iâd rather they risk an incredibly slight chance of autism!
@2Old, Red arm from the Shingles one; mine was done at Walgreens (extra points) on the BACK of my arm (as they said that was recommended) and had no reaction whatsoever to any treatment (medical, that is).

Yes, Burl. Be the first on your block to come down with the flu and get mad at some âuncaring lotâ that gave it you.

Itâs MARCH! Of course theyâre free now! But, weâre talking about the cheapest of the cheap here!

If you catch this seasonâs flu everything will be so free you will have to fold yourself in half over the toilet.

Theyâre probably safe. Not even a flu virus would willingly take up residence within a Penny carcass. Their hygiene would scare a cholera bug.
