The CDC says "by age two" (kind of stretching the definition of a baby), while the herd immunity article mentions vaccinating babies of 15-18 months (while babies under three months are most susceptible to pertussis).

I fail to see either irony or contradiction.

Quick scanned both. As Neanderthaland mentioned; it depends on the vaccine and the age.

When did you get the vaccine? Work in areas where it was still an issue at the time?

At the time, it was a requirement to attend college. Public schools had eliminated it as a requirement, but my chosen college still required it before you could attend, so I got it when I was like... 16 or 17. Something like that.


Was that before WWII? ;)

They retired it about 6 years before I entered high school. I don't think I ever had it.....

Well, it kinda sucked.

Lymph nodes in my armpits hurt - felt like I was lugging around two big watermelons.

I might be exaggerating a bit with time.

A bit.

Too fucking bad. You don't want to be vaccinated and you don't have a medical reason for it, then you can't be where you can spread it to others.

Good luck if you have a car accident -- can't bring you to the ER where you could infect all sorts of injured, sick, and immuno-deficient people.

Oh, but that's cruel. We should probably charge you what it costs to keep you in total isolation so you don't spread anything to others.

According to https://www.answers.com/Q/What_do_vaccines_contain vaccines contain weakened or dead version of what its supposed to prevent.

So you are saying you believe injecting weakened or dead disease should be mandatory because bringing back dead diseases is bad.

Huh? :blink:

You are misstating the use. You are basically suggesting people are being injected with the disease.

If the disease is extinct; there isn't a need for the vaccine anymore. Small pox is extinct. We don't give out the vaccines anymore. That ended 48 years ago.

Measles, mumps and rubella are still very much around.

Body autonomy brought measles back to the US.

You need the virus as an ingredient so that the immune system recognizes that it's a threat and so develop antibodies for future attempts at infection.
