Message: <blockquote data-quote="Oursapoil" data-source="post: 185069" data-attributes="member: 33266">Thank you for posting the video.Dr. Suzanne Humphries is a very eloquent speaker also well known as one of the strongest anti-vaccine voices. I found it interesting how she is using data showing no measles cases in 1970 and not something more current <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />   I believe there has to be some percentage of truth within her agenda but at the same time, having a mother in law who was director of labs at one of NY largest hospital for more than 30 years, I am taking her opinion over Dr. Humphries as the later is more an homeopath than a microbiologist. I respect the decision of people who do not want to vaccinate their children as long as they do not want my kid to play with them or for their kids to go to the same public school as mine. Kind of the same with firearms, I respect people's right to own a firearm but will not let my child attend a birthday party or do a sleep over at someone's house if the parents own firearms. But I digress, even Dr. Humphries agrees that tetanus is dangerous when the wound is not exposed to fresh air. Considering the length and curving of some Ts fangs, it is fair to say that the puncture is not likely to breath very much and a tetanus shot might be worth it.Hoping everyone enjoys both side of the argumentation, cheers.</blockquote>
