Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 So I went to visit my very mainstream sister today - thinks we're nuts for not vaxing, takes a statin drug, is on antibiotics and sick ALL the time. I found out at her physical this week she got the adult tetanus/whooping cough vaccine booster. ARGH. So frustrating. I tried to explain to her that she doesn't need a tetanus shot. She said, " Well, just last week I accidentally stabbed a pencil into my leg at work! " . I actually said to her, " Oh - did the pencil have animal feces on it??? Because if not, there probably isn't a whole lot of an issue! " . =) Anyway, I told that there hasn't been a reported case of tetanus in our state for DECADES. She said, " Of course there hasn't been - because everyone is vaccinated against it " . Trying to argue with people gets very old very fast. Just needed to vent. Thanks. Melinda C. Quote
