DC folks: Measles warning. - loosilu Apr 21, 08:31 26
- "with nearly half of those involving children whose parents refuse vaccination" - ugh, what terrible parents. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 08:33 25
  - they were just unlucky parent and had a Doctor who had religious convictions against vaccination - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:38 18
    - it's always the parents. there may be a rare, freak doctor or two who is opposed to vaccination. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:46 5
      - make it mandatory then.... - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:49 4
        
        can't do that in the US. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:51
        
        Americans do not like the word "mandatory" -- nm - con_carne Apr 21, 08:49 2
        
        the love the words "unnesesary deaths" ? - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:55 1

    - most often it's parents who are convinced that vaccines cause autism. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 08:39 11
      - i fail to see why the doctors sould be except at all..... - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:42 10
        
        I'm sure the expense of malpractice lawsuits factor into their decisions to accede to the parent's wishes in these types of cases. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 08:44 9
        
        malpractice? - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:46 8
        
        that's not what I'm talking about at all. - znufrii Apr 21, 08:47 7
        
        there was a discussion about a few weeks back when someone surgestet that a doctour should have that right - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:50 6
        
        well, I can't think that a doctor would be able to pass his board examinations, or have them quickly revoked - znufrii Apr 21, 08:52 1
        
        word -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:55
        
        oh, and that discussion was not related at ALL to vaccination. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:52 1
        
        I can see how it's not that far of a stretch, though. - znufrii Apr 21, 08:54
        
        the result will be that some kids never go to a doctor. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:51 1
        
        well like i say some parents are pjenomenal in the job of parenting and some are utterly stupid - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:57
  - I wonder who the other half is? adults who didn't get boosters maybe? -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:36 3
    - immigrants -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 08:37 2
      - and travelers -- nm - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:43
      - ah. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:37
  - I feel pretty strongly that kids should be vaccinated. -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 08:35 1
    - It shouldn't really be a choice. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 08:37

  - Did he slither? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 21, 08:47 1
    - He was deceptively jovial looking. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 21, 08:56

  - well atleast do it like the UN says - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:32 6
    - I still think the only reason Obama is holding back on an investigation is to foment public uproar - znufrii Apr 21, 08:35 5
      - yes it IS a problem but it is also a problem this need to be done....if not it's a semi-carte blance to torture - Danedukenuuk Apr 21, 08:40 4
        
        I agree. I'm just trying to figure out the thought process at play here, behind Obama's decision. -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 08:45 3
        
        Thought process. "I took the oath of office. There's bigger issues going on. We likely wouldn't even win the court case in the first place. And - Will Hunting Apr 21, 08:48 2
        
        How exactly do we increase the stature of America abroad by abrogating international treaties, I wonder? -- nm - znufrii Apr 21, 08:49 1

hmmm, my daughter's check to "IRS" was changed to "United States Treasury" on the Pay To line. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 08:29 7
- I wonder where a cheque to IRYS would end up -- nm - Roger More Apr 21, 08:37
- That's correct. Should be Unitedy States Treasury, not IRS. -- nm - CS Apr 21, 08:32 4
  - I guess I never paid attention to the instructions.... but I've been writing "IRS" since 1966 and noticed a change. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 08:34 3
    - s?b "NEVER noticed a change" -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 08:34 2
      - Oops, and we never cashed any of them. *cashes all your IRS checks at once* -- nm - IRS Apr 21, 08:42

        That's cuz he killed her and stuffed the body in a fridge he later dumped in the Chesapeake. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 21, 08:38 1
