Headline writers do like clickbait. :) Seasonal influenza and many other diseases have a similar age gradient though not quite as pronounced as Covid-19. Continued from here.

As a person of limited medical science knowledge I am puzzled by what I read about the different vaccines and their efficacy. What I read about the covid vaccines suggests to me, that they do not stop the vaccinated from being infected, but stop or lessen the severity of the effects of the...

Science seems to be clear that as long as there are sizeable numbers of people who are not vaccinated, Covid-19 will continue to mutate into more transmittable and more deadly variants. That being the case, and more than 600,000 people dead in the USA, is it a selfish and irresponsible act to...

I'm curious as this has political implications. Have you been vaccinated?

"Visitors to Dracula's castle are being jabbed with needles rather than fangs after a Covid-19 vaccine centre has been set up at the Transylvanian site." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-57049639 Bit of vax cred to get done there. Vaccine tourism, anyone?

Diphtheria is back in the southern Indian state of Kerala and so far it's killed two children and left forty more ill. That's an easily preventable disease that's mostly considered a relic of the 1950s. Muhammad Niyas is a physician in Kerala and watched one of those children die, a death he...

This should stir things up. And maybe save a few lives. More. BBC. ABC. The Australian.

Just listened to the end segment of this week's On The Media broadcast.... Host Bob Garfield pretty well excoriated the anti-vax nonsense: http://www.onthemedia.org/story/anti-vax-non-troversy/ Pointing out how the media feeds the nonsense with thier "contoversy" stories.... As he said, "the...

Well this ought to be interesting:

I am very pleased to announce that a ground-breaking survey conducted on the issue of people’s opinions regarding vaccines and vaccination has been published; the work was a joint project of the James Randi Educational Foundation and Women Thinking, Inc. and it gets to the heart of how those of...

Just came across this: http://foodfreedomgroup.com/2012/09/29/the-vaccine-hoax-is-over-by-andrew-baker/ More anti-vaccine BS. :( This is some seriously insane bs!

Can anyone see any problem with this paper? I had a Flu Jab recently and now my armpit is sore. After googling around I found the paper: Relative trends in hospitalizationsand mortality among infants by the number of vaccine doses and age The study basically concludes by saying that It is...

I'm a new member and can't put up a link yet, but wanted to point to a poll out in the innerwebs that's be hijacked by the antivax brigade. It's on a cause called "The Immunization Initiative" at causes.com. The question it asks is "The Vaccination Question: If I had a young child I would give...

By accident happened to have that channel on while surfing, and I heard her mention flu vaccinations just now. According to Wendy, some people get sick from it (semi-true*) But she seemed to be confused that you were actually getting the flu. And this scientifically illiterate savage then...

I've overheard some conversations between some friends of mine about an even that goes like this: "Once, there was this guy who was so adavant (I think that's how it's spelled...) that vaccines were not harmful that he had vaccinated two of his sons on stage in front of an audience. Shortly...
