@pamby1 @LaughterintheRain @SweetIceTea @Phil @Bleukitty @h53pilot @Andre I was a kid in the 70s, and most of us missed 2 weeks due to chicken pox, mumps and measles over the course of grades 1 thru 5.

@conservativechris @LaughterintheRain @SweetIceTea @Phil @Bleukitty @h53pilot @Andre Me too. I got chicken pox @ 5, before I started school.

My VA doctor keeps trying to talk me into the shingles vaccine. Nope.

Anyone else get that talking to?

@conservativechris @LaughterintheRain @SweetIceTea @Phil @Bleukitty @Andre

@h53pilot @conservativechris @LaughterintheRain @SweetIceTea @Phil @Bleukitty @Andre My dr has never mentioned that. I did get a tetanus shot about 2-3 yrs ago. Is shingles pretty common?

@pamby1

I even question the tetanus shot. Anyone ever hear of someone getting tetanus?

I've never seen anyone's jaws lock up on them.

@conservativechris @LaughterintheRain @SweetIceTea @Phil @Bleukitty @Andre

@h53pilot

I've had the tetanus shot, but never known or heard of a person with lock jaw.

@SweetIceTea @h53pilot @conservativechris @LaughterintheRain @Phil @Bleukitty @Andre I think it might be an old wive's tale. Like, no new shoes on the table.😁

@SweetIceTea @h53pilot @conservativechris @LaughterintheRain @Phil @Bleukitty @Andre Or don't roll your eyes or cross your eyes ir they'll get stuck like that. 😁

@SweetIceTea @h53pilot @conservativechris @LaughterintheRain @Phil @Bleukitty @Andre Told you!!! See the conditions I gad to grow ip under?!?!🤣

@h53pilot
I sure wish I could witness some jaws lock up on some members of Congress.

😂

I took a chunk of wire fence to the face and had to look into this. I bring a solid dose of skepticism, but it really did look like waiting for the bacterial infection to present put you in 20% death scenario, even with competent hospital care (and good luck finding that at this point). It's a vaccine with a long and solid safety record, so I went with it.

@vandys @h53pilot @conservativechris @LaughterintheRain @SweetIceTea @Phil @Bleukitty @Andre The older ones, with like you said a long track record?, I have no problem with either. We don't have to take any but tetanus because the rest are pretty much gone.🤷‍♀️

@h53pilot @pamby1 @conservativechris @SweetIceTea @Phil @Bleukitty @Andre
I had one about 40 years ago, cut meself on a rusty handsaw. Made me nausus for awhile, but they told me that.

@h53pilot @pamby1 @conservativechris @SweetIceTea @Phil @Bleukitty

I feel differently about vaccines for bacteria vs those for viruses.

@Phil @h53pilot @pamby1 @conservativechris @SweetIceTea @Bleukitty @Andre

I am allergic to tetanus in all forms and almost died the last time I received the shot in1966.

Since then I have stepped on nails, lacerated fingers, slashed lower legs and had a couple bar room brawls where my head was split by a beer mug (not proud of it) in some very questionable locations.

Never have I had an ill effect but I did have to walk out of many Dr. offices because they wouldn't stop about the shot.
