I couldn’t find them which is probably just as well.
Am I supposed to know who Kristen Bell is?
Adorable actress married to adorable actor Dax Shepherd.
Veronica Mars
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Frozen-- if you had little girls you’d know EXACTLY who she is 
Romanigypsyeyes- I should have heeded your warnings! aaagh!
Craziness RE comments. Some people need to go back and take a critical thinking class. She’s not worried about unvaccinated babies holding her baby. She won’t let unvaccinated adults and maybe teens hold her baby. As I have said before, an adult who refuses a pertussis booster is not doing it out of fear of autism or sudden onset of seizure disorder.
@jaylynn That explains it. I’m way out of the loop, I see.
She’s also in House of Lies, the TV series with Don Cheadle in it.
I am shocked any HCW don’t have to get vaccinated, I know my third year med school student is required to get 2 a year…
On the nursing forum, there are nurses who work at facilities which require them to wear a mask at all times if they refuse the flu vaccine. Some of these nurses are claiming that this is a HIPAA violation. Shaking my head…
Reading the vaccination threads on my nursing forum has caused me to conclude that not all nursing schools are created equal.
There’s a lot of pseudo science out there and most of it is masking fear. What is it about getting a shot into your body that scares people more than taking a pill? Do you really know everything in that pill? Is there some mercury derivative somewhere, some ingredient made in China, some government plot that you’re swallowing?
It is only prudent to know where your medications and supplements originate, if only so that you know if you should be concerned if there is a recall.
It wasn’t that long ago that many pets were poisoned by additives in Chinese produced pet food & treats.

And Im sure you’ve read about the people who died or who were ill from contaminated steroid shots & contracted fungal meningitis in 23 states.
Foreign suppliers do not have same inspection schedule as domestic, they also may be easier to access for hackers/ terrorists. ( not that our domestic controls are fool proof)
Most of my meds & supplements are domestically produced, but for a few, there is a noticeable difference between brand name & generic, and even between generics. I’m paying for what goes in my body & I like to know what that is.

People also cherry pick their information. How about these dire but cherry picked warnings?
*Special Precautions & Warnings:
Taking too much [scary substance] during pregnancy can cause problems for the newborn baby. [Scary substance] is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in excessive amounts.
Infants and children: [Scary substance] is POSSIBLY UNSAFE when taken by mouth in amounts higher than 400 mg daily for children 1 to 3 years, 650 mg daily for children 4 to 8 years, 1200 mg daily for children 9 to 13 years, and 1800 mg daily for adolescents 14 to 18 years.
Angioplasty, a heart procedure: Avoid taking supplements containing [scary substance] or other [scary substances] immediately before and following angioplasty without the supervision of a health care professional. These [scary substances] seem to interfere with proper healing.
Cancer: Cancerous cells collect high concentrations of [scary substance]. Until more is known, only use high doses of [scary substance] under the direction of your oncologist.
Diabetes: [Scary substance] might raise blood sugar. In older women with diabetes, [scary substance] in amounts greater than 300 mg per day increases the risk of death from heart disease. Do not take [scary substance] in doses greater than those found in X.
Blood-iron disorders, including conditions called “thalassemia” and “hemochromatosis”: [Scary substance] can increase iron absorption, which might make these conditions worse. Avoid large amounts of [scary substance].
Kidney stones, or a history of kidney stones: Large amounts of [scary substance] can increase the chance of getting kidney stones. Do not take [scary substance] in amounts greater than those found in X.
A metabolic deficiency called “glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase” (G6PD) deficiency: Large amounts of [scary substance] can cause red blood cells to break in people with this condition. Avoid excessive amounts of [scary substance].
Sickle cell disease: [Scary substance] might make this condition worse. Avoid using large amounts of [scary substance].*
What is this scary substance? Vitamin C.
I wonder how anti-vaxxers would respond if you told them vitamin C is dangerous to infants and children, interferes with healing, causes diabetes, heart attacks, kidney stones, blood-iron disorders and damage to red blood cells, and may be linked to cancer and sickle cell disease.
@sue22, that’s very good!
It was a fiasco for people who already have serious illnesses and were therefore more likely to have side effects. People who aren’t seriously ill don’t get that.
I may end up getting the nasal mist form next year, but since I get asked to “try again” repeatedly when I almost died last time I got the flu shot, my spouse would have been upset had I died for little purpose.
@sue22 - Vitamin C is especially scary since the vast majority of it is manufactured in China!
Rhandco, where I live, I have to compete a questionnaire before I get my shot. You don’t? Because one of the questions is "Are you sick? "
Also, I think the point of herd immunity is to vaccinate the well people and “fragile” people who aren’t already ill so that the seriously ill will have some community protection without a vaccine. It is the same with the measles vaccine issue. There are plenty of people with no medical reason not to vaccinate and if they mostly do the medically compromised and very young should be pretty safe without vaccinating.
Why many parents aren’t taking advantage of the HPV vaccine:

Awesome. These people should be publicly shamed.
