New Tetanus Commercial

[Guest guest]

They just started playing a new tetanus commercial here. No voices - just

pictures of mothers and babies, and large words on the screen.

The commercial has a very quick flash of small print on it, which explains that,

for each tetanus shot purchased in America, one is donated to a woman of

child-bearing age from a third world country. (NOTE: These women in the

commercial do not appear in ANY way to be from a third world country either.)

HOWEVER......that explanation is just a quick flash, and small print. There

would be no way to read it all without a pause feature on the tv.

The whole of the commercial makes people BELIEVE though, that they are

advertising the childhood tetanus vaccine. It has a part in there that over a

hundred thousand babies won't live to see their first birthday because of

newborn tetanus.

So ... it's yet another misleading scare tactic.
