Over the last three months I have been through the HELL of this bacterial<br />infection and more than once almost died! I have talked to dozens of others that have had the same experience, so if you do not think its worth having a vaccine for something that can disfigure you as much as LEPROSY and be as painful as scalding third degree burns and as debilitating as cancer, I have had six staph abscesses in three months! Having them lanced and taking antibiotics<br />and still becoming septic with fever and chills three times.<br />trust me if someone told me injecting dog feces into my bloodstream would stop this horrendous organism from attacking me again and again I would do it!<br />Thanks for listening but I say<br />bring on the VACCINE!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6483019915352061873.post-71022199913526741202008-04-09T20:52:00.000-05:002008-04-09T20:52:00.000-05:00Another vaccine.

What are we up to now? 28 for children before the age of two. 23 more before they are teens. <BR/><BR/>Has anyone looked at the effect of 50 vaccines on immune health (not to mention the repeated doses or boosters for some)? <BR/><BR/>I have another question. What would the Staph vaccine build an antibody to exactly? A toxin? A protein JUST on the resistant strains? Which strain? <BR/><BR/>Staph is also an important symbiotic microbe on our skin, yes? Will these vaccines make us build resistance to non-harmful Staph? If so, isn't that a problem?<BR/><BR/>Why don't we first clean house and require hospitals and doctors to report these infection cases? Why don't we first clean house and prevent these infections in the first place?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02517579334662911280noreply@blogger.com
