Or a skate to the jugular

I'm not sure.
Millions of studies have shown that sports are beneficial for kids physically, socially, and emotionally.
But I know that Corey Crawford fell off a step and got hurt at the House of Blues.

Those are some of the reasons we let our kids play sports.

And thanks to Darkside, we now know that a child is statistically more likely to be injured by a vaccine then he is driving around with his parents in a car.

Stop talking stuff and do the real math yourself.

How many kids in this country died on a cruise ship last year?

How many kids in this country died in a plane crash last year?

How many kids in this country died playing baseball?

You came here and got all hyperbolic and all I'm asking of you is to back your assertions with readily available numbers.

If you are too busy, I understand. Enjoy your week end.

The point, Seacrest, is that life is a series of risky behavior. I don't care how you spin it driving even 10 miles a day is riskier than taking any vaccine is. For most rational people, these are risks that must be taken to still deal with life. We need to get to work, we need to enjoy our lives so we engage in risky behavior such as driving to accomplish those tasks.
But to not vaccinate, and endanger not only your own children but the children of others because of a miniscule risk to me is like saying "I'll never drive anywhere because it's too dangerous" which I believe we can both agree would be silly.
I find the anti vaccination crowd selfish, and ignorant. Again the guy I talked to was smoking a fucking cigarette in the house telling me about the poisons the vaccines deliver to the body. Just ridiculous.
There's a thousand and one everyday behaviors that are considerably riskier than vaccination.
That's pretty much it.

Oh and for the record, I didn't "Killed" with the above mentioned activities, I said injured. To be more precise, life altering injury, if you want to get technical. And those activities certainly cause more life altering injury than vaccines do.

Has anyone actually been killed by a vaccine?

You know, something about this thread reminds me of the Bermuda Triangle.
We all know about the history of the Bermuda Triangle.
But if you plot all the missing and sunk planes and boats over the globe, there is no more missing ships/planes than over any other area of similar size and traffic density.
But it sounds sexy and cool. The BERMUDA TRIANGLE.... OOOH!

Yes, children die from vaccines every year.

And more life altering injuries occurred in the US last year from vaccines then then occurred from plane rides or cruise ships.

_________________

Oh yeah, how many? How many deaths? How many total injuries? I see your post above said 200 claims which means that number must be less than 200 because we all know many baseless claims are made. I'm no Don Tiny but I suspect that there is a pretty safe percentage to assume.

Well, just a quick check found these stats... 2014 was an incomplete data set so I'll use 2013 as the last full year of data.
366 claims paid 627 claims dismissed.
And 2013 was by far one of the higher years of claims, probably because of the anti vacc boob crew.

I'm no math major, but think of the amount of kids that took plane rides last year, without being in a crash.

Now, if 50 kids made it to the paid claim status on vaccines, (most do not), then any percentage at all is going to more than almost no plane crashes.

Alright, now take the amount of kids that were vaccinated.

Probably in the range of 20M on the high side

4.5 million birth rate on average, I don't know how many vaccines are injected per baby, probably quite a few.
Still, no where near as dangerous, overall, as driving to work, or school, or on a road trip to the game.

Ok. Let's not discuss statistics any longer then.

How many trips a day does the average kid take in a vehicle. Is 3 a fair number?

I don't think we should discuss statistics. Go buy a handful of lotto tickets.

Then we definitely shouldn't be discussing what is "more likely" then.

Good chat.

I'm going to watch American Pickers. Btw, a colleague of mine went to high school with Frank and Mike.

_________________

Yes. I'd also have say in the treatment they were going to get.

I have all of my vaccinations up to date. Even Chicken Pox because I never got that as a kid.

Is there a way to get unvaccinated? Maybe one of these crazies can show me how.

_________________

In all fairness, I won't get a flu shot again. When I get old or if I'm of poor health I probably will but for now I'll just roll with the damn flu for a couple days.

I am (or was) against the Flu shot too, but goddam I had it before Thanksgiving and it knocked the fuck out of me for three straight days. Several times my fever was over 103. I went to the CVS minute clinic and the girl told me I was insane for going to work (agreed) and that if the fever got any higher (it was 103.4 at the time) I should go straight to the ER. I think I may get it next year and see what happens. I have never had one and never really got super sick, but this bout was almost too much to deal with.

_________________

Well, we're not getting younger and it gets more dangerous as we get older. I suppose I should consider it maybe. Seems to me that they just guess on which strains they need to put in the vaccine, and they tend to miss some strains that go around so =getting the shot doesn't mean no flu. I'd rather not get it. I don't think I've had the flu since high school??? somewhere around there.

My buddy is an ER doc and he said most years they have the flu shot strain down. This year was one of the biggest misses ever he said.

Oh really? Food for thought. In my line of work I am shocked I don't get sick more than I do. I'm in 5-8 houses a day, and working around the ventilation systems I imagine I'm in the nerve center of most houses sick zones.

Why not?

Kids. Kids are the nerve center of sick zones.

Because I feel like at my age the flu isn't particularly dangerous... and i'd rather have a couple legit days off with the flu than work my 70 fucking hour weeks LOL I say that until I actually am filling buckets of shit and puke.
