Ahhhh so you where trying to con Doctor Glen getting advise for 2 separate incidents in one visit that's it another 50 Euro for trying to con me out of 50 Euro now learn your lesson and don't muck around with Doctor Glen as it's now going to cost you a total of 150 Euro in stead of 100 naughty boy . I see. You have mastered a Doctors qualification how to charge a patient. Just kidding:) A couple of years ago I was involved in making a website to health clinics that offers vaccinations. There was no con men there. Instead they/system offered solutions that fit the patients best. |

Adults don't need tetanus shot every decade: Study Stop making stuff up. Other than you who said "every 2 years"? In the US a tetanus booster shot is recommended every 10 years for adults that took the full course of tetanus shots in childhood, and, as Lynn points out, it is the booster shots for adults that is under review following a recent study. Another reason why it is a good idea to give infants vaccinations when the doctor recommends them. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Well by some here we should be taking every antibiotic there is every vaccine there is hell while where at it why not introduce the small pox vacciene you never know if chicken pox or one of the other pox viruses will mutate and be like small pox . This type of attitude to health is what has lead to Antibiotics becoming less use full and who was it that gave out antibiotics willy nilly and on who's advise was this done mmmmmm Oh of course the drug company's have no influence do they And what again is Tetanus mmmmmmm..... Can anybody tell me why you only needed 1 shot for small pox ?? yet that is no longer around is it . Wonder why Edit: so I did get 2 shots of small pox when I was a kid 1 at about 3 years and again when I was about 9 still why is it that has now gone but others aren't and we have been vaccinating people now for long enough for the others like chiken pox and measles to have been eradicated |

I've got a partial solution to the anti-vax crowd ... and it wouldn't take government involvement (unless Medicaid is involved). All we simply need is for insurance companies to change their policies regarding contract exclusions. Example. Let's say a parent/guardian refuses to vaccinate their kid. Fine. Let's say the kid comes down with measles and has to be seen by a doctor or at a hospital (ER or inpatient). When a claim is submitted to an insurance company, the first thing they do is send a letter to the parent/guardian, asking to see medical proof (ie., a doctor's note or vaccination record) that the child had been vaccinated against measles. Parents/guardians sending in such proof will get their kid's treatment paid for up to contract limits. But parents/guardians who can't (or won't) send in such proof will make the kid's treatment for measles a contract exclusion - requiring parents or guardians to pay for the treatment out-of-pocket. I'm convinced that most objections to vaccinations would dematerialize once the wallets of parents/guardians start taking a hit. |

Well by some here we should be taking every antibiotic there is every vaccine there is hell while where at it why not introduce the small pox vacciene you never know if chicken pox or one of the other pox viruses will mutate and be like small pox . This is called a straw man argument. You are building a case to argue against when nobody is in favor of that case This type of attitude to health is what has lead to Antibiotics becoming less use full and who was it that gave out antibiotics willy nilly and on who's advise was this done mmmmmm Well done for the quick conclusion to the straw man argument. Though why bother? Who has argued for the over-prescription of antibiotics. If you want another target, try the meat industry, where it has become a widespread practice to use antibiotics as a prophylactic (source). Oh of course the drug company's have no influence do they Have you read Bad Pharma: How Drug Companies Mislead Doctors and Harm Patients yet? And what again is Tetanus mmmmmmm..... This? Can anybody tell me why you only needed 1 shot for small pox ?? yet that is no longer around is it . Wonder why Small-pox vaccination for the general population has ceased since its eradication in 1979. Edit: so I did get 2 shots of small pox when I was a kid 1 at about 3 years and again when I was about 9 still why is it that has now gone but others aren't and we have been vaccinating people now for long enough for the others like chiken pox and measles to have been eradicated Unfortunately these killers have not yet been eradicated. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Bobby i'll let it rest but just one thing . Yes I do know about YOUR meat industry and it's why I will never eat American Beef products . Give me clean good Australian beef fatted up on the land not in some feed lot . Where the meat does not have to be washed in Ammonia to kill Escherichia coli , Campylobacter , Salmonella witch is a big problem in your meat industry Your biggest Slaughter house washes the meat in Ammonia as they can't control the Salmonella problem of contaminated animals from the feed lots they keep the animals in . |

Bobby i'll let it rest but just one thing . http://www.animalsaustralia.org/features/global-superbug-threat.php Using antibiotics as growth promoters has been banned in the EU since 2006 but is still standard in the US, Australia and elsewhere in the world. |

I've really got to wonder sometimes Glenn if we live in the same country. :-O why you say that Wiggo . Yes I do know we give animals antibiotics and it is a problem but you all should really watch "Food Inc" it's about the American food industry from farm to supermarket . I'm shore after watching it your going to think twice about eating American meat products . But that is for another thread now back to the title of this thread . |

So you get all your information from a television show? Do you fact check the claims made in the show? Do you avoid confirmation bias while doing so? |

It's not just one doco but seeing as your one that probably would not even look at it because the person that made it says a lot Food, Inc. is a 2008 American documentary film directed by filmmaker Robert Kenner.[3] The Academy Award-nominated film examines corporate farming in the United States, from Wiki Here's the link to wiki about it for you to peruse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food,_Inc. Yep I guess it was all B/S then So why did it get nominated for a Oscar then mate . |

So why did it get nominated for a Oscar then mate . Oh so your saying now that any film gets nominated even if it B/S , I doubt it when talking Doco's Yes you would be right about general entertainment but I 'm pretty shore there not going to nominate a Doco particularly when it's about your own country. And so damaging to your food industry's reputation inside and outside your country But if you wish to be a Ostrich and bury your head in the sand so you hear no evil see no evil , go for it bro if it helps you sleep at night . |

Yep I guess it was all B/S then Winning an Oscar simply means the film was well directed/created. An Oscar doesn't imply factuality of claims made. |

Yep I guess it was all B/S then Quite correct, Oscars are awarded for the best storytelling. They aren't a Peabody. |

They aren't a Peabody. Actually the Yankies won the war. The south ( which Georgia was a part of) did lose but they were called Rebels. [/quote] Old James |
