Is our government going to far? http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/na...n/news-story/aee317e85039008952ea4987474a7ff0 https://au.news.yahoo.com/a/3522607...x-benefits-if-they-refuse-to-vaccinate/#page1 Can it be argued that all vaccinations are good and necessary? Where is the line in the sand? Regards
No. Getting or not getting vaccinated is one example of doing something that can impact on others. So it is reasonable that there should be financial consequences what you do. If nearly everyone gets vaccinated then that will protect the few that either do not get vaccinated.
robot, which vaccination do you think are necessary, and which should be left to the individual? Regards
No because my remote, high indigenous population area just hit over 97% Vaccination YEAHHHH!!!!! Sorry - very very pro-vaccine but then I have SEEN Whooping cough, I have seen Tetanus and I have seen meningococcus just to name a few
Government works that out based on probable impact and number of cases. Tetanus is a big one that people DO forget (yeeks just remembered I need one must tell my nurse immuniser friend) If you are ever in doubt about vaccines think on this 6 weeks ICU at least to get them over the spasms that will fracture a spine
Unicef seems to think your one million babies is closer to 34,000 babies, and the primary cause is unsanitary medical equipment. Now if they aren't gonna keep the instruments clean, how many of them do you think are really going to keep the needles clean?
I am still searching for an answer which vaccination deemed must have and which should remain a personal decision.... regards, and happy Mothers Day
I was quoting figures from a few years ago - In my life time I have seen the rates of tetanus neonatolum plummet from 3 million per year to less than half a million That is a win but it is only because we have managed to vaccinate the mothers. See there is no natural immunity to tetanus and neonatal tetanus is only really prevented by getting immunity from the mother
You are talking to a nurse Kats - you are never ever going to get me to say none of them. I have seen measles encephalopathy (poor wee thing was a "floppy baby") I have seen herpes encephalitis I have seen the most innocuous diseases in thier extreme forms Sorry mate just cannot go there
I honor your response, however it seems you haven't seen the ones which didn't tolerate the vaccination obviously, sorry no offence meant. I haven't by the way as well. My wife's best friend is a retired nurse, she holds the complete opposite opinion to yours. She wouldn't vaccine her children again, could she wind back time. Our neighbour is a retired doctor, he shares your observation and experience. So you see, I don't take that easily. I am more interested in knowing which vaccination are a must, and which more a fancy one. Please don't get upset, but big pharmaceutical enterprises don't always develop what is best for mankind, but what is best for business, cheers Cats
Kats - as I said earlier the Aus govt does a bloody lot of research on this. Vaccines for everyone is expensive and the goverment does a ost/benefit analysis on all vaccines http://www.immunise.health.gov.au/i...ontent/national-immunisation-program-schedule You might think rotavirus is a good one to miss - unless you have ever been infected - real eye of the needle stuff
I've seen measles encephalopathy twice, in community nursing. Children of migrants, unvaccinated and had had measles . Both talented kids- girl was a ballet dancer 15, and the boy 13 and had been a taekwondo afficionado. They were both badly brain damaged and the girl died. So terribly sad and such a waste of two lives".
