Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Maybe the educated parents can read? today's paper I cannot yet locate this on-line, but page 10A of today's Detroit Free Press, under a category of "Science News" has three paragraphs under a heading of "CHILDHOOD SHOTS", subtitled, "Educated Parents Lapse". Says that "Children of mothers who had not completed high school were 16% more likely to have up to date vaccinations than children of college graduates." And it says the info comes from a study published online Dec 28 that will appear in the Feb issue of the American Journal of Public Health.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2007 Report Share Posted January 17, 2007 Part of the problem is that those with less education are far more easily cowed into compliance than those who are more educated. And if memory serves me, back in the late 90's Ted Kennedy sponsored a bill that Clinton signed which tied compliance to childhood immunization to receiving welfare benefits. Don't know how they could circumvent religious exemption in the 48 which allow that, but I reckon if you do not tell people the have the right to abstain they will not exercise the same. And of course far more people on public assistance will be " uneducated " than educated. I like how the article implies that Hispanics place a greater value on caring for their children than other groups, as though blind compliance with Federal bureaucrats equates loving your progeny... ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Don't pick lemons.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Big headlines in a newspaper I read at work, I am going to go buy it, right now. SWINE FLU NOT SO CONTAGIOUS AS THOUGHT ! Or something like that. That is when the woman I work with who I have been talking to about vaccines and who goes to a chiropractor about how bad vaccines are and she agreed, told me she got the H1N1 shot at the school just last week before the Christmas holiday break ! Some people never learn, I noticed all the ones that got shots, have either an ear infection, or a rash on their arms or a stuffed up nose or something, I heard them all complaining.
