I might just get into your school Goro. 🙂

Mate. He just gave you reasons why he would auto reject you. Do you really think your ignorance would be lost on him/her in a one on one encounter?

Jenny McCarthy and Kristin Cavallari are now recommending against new brake pads! http://www.gomerblog.com/2014/01/vaccine/

Good lord I hope that is satirical.

Edit: Okay, yeah.

I greatly respect your service to our country, but you are dangerously ill-informed. Maybe my immunology and microbiology colleagues can pound some sense into your head.

The only thing I'm taking away from OP at this point is that it only matters if you die...suffering and disability are inconsequential.

Measles for example has a 99.7 - 99.9 % survival rate in the United States. There's about a .15% chance of dying from it. There are significantly more adverse affects from large scale vaccinations than there are from a very mild illness.

I'm outta here. Stay close-minded, my friends.

The case fatality rate for measles is 0.2%. And this mild illnss may merely cause permanent brain damage but not kill you... very mild illness indeed! NOT.

Medical schools and medical employers are going to ask you to give up your personal liberty for the sake of their view of patient safety. You're going to be much happier in law or public policy than in medicine.

This thread gave me autism.

I've had all of my vaccines ( I believe). I'm most curious about their policies on annual flu shots.

Get your flu shot. You don't want to be the person who passes the virus on to a patient that then ends up on ECMO for the next month and a half, unaware what happened for the past 6 weeks and in multi organ failure.

Bacchus, the problem is that he/she does want to be said jackass.

Some of my previous patients, well...their families at least, would have liked the scenario you described. At least their sick family member would have briefly awakened.

LizzyM, I may just have to sacrifice my liberties and possibly my health to enter this career field. It wouldn't be the first time I've done either of those.

Get the flu shot so that my body will have less immunity than it would have built naturally? This way I can set myself and my patients up for getting hit with it worse the following season? You're a physician. Have you read the studies showing that our immune systems don't only protect against less strains of the flu, but they are also more likely to be crushed by the next year's?

Give me a reference and I'll read it. I guess all of the heads of the ID departments in my regional hospitals know nothing.

You're making the same mistake most of these punk kids are making. It's not about knowing nothing. It's the fact that we don't know everything. The day you become (hopefully not became) a complacent doctor is the day you become very dangerous.

No one is suggesting that we know everything. What rational person would think so?
You still haven't provided any evidence that you are in any way qualified make suggestions about how the medical profession works, how its practitioners think, and what makes a fundamentally good or bad doctor.

A business grad trying to finish his pre-req online is telling a resident how to be a doctor. 😆😆😆

We don't know if computer will give you cancer. Can you stay away until we rule out everything?

No, I think the OP will be disheartened to learn that the U.S. Supreme Court agrees with the majority of the posters here, upholding compulsory vaccination laws in Jacobson v. Massachusetts (1905). This is still good case law despite its age.

 

[Escape_Goat]

Says the guy with a graduate degree in microbial/molecular biology who really gets how vaccines work.

Fixed that for you.

But law firms don't require vaccination of their associates to protect clients. That's what I meant.

The enemy of a good plan is the dream of a perfect plan.

While you sit around reading dataless conjecture, wanting to perfectly understand the topic, people will die, and it will be your fault.
