On your brightest day you would embarrass a moron.

I'll take that as a yes, you are talking throught your addled brain stem
again. It is pretty plain.

why you sign on anonymously.

Lol, if you had an IT clue, you could find my name on the internet very

Let's remember that in a bad seasonal flu year that we can lose as
many people and they aren't just the old and sick. They are 5 years
old and under who cannot be vaccinated.

Funny, Australia vaccinated from 6 MONTHS and older.

Vaccinations while pushed by manufacturers of vaccines for children
under 5 often do not take. In small children in particular they can
cause extreme allergic reactions

Given what else I've seen of the USA, I'm not surprised that $$ rules the
quality of medical services over your place.

Not the case here.

and this is why most parents do not
want to vaccinate children.

Must be a USA thing. Only the ignorant do not vaccinate their kids as
soon as possible.

It's not a USA thing. Like so much else, it's a Tom's Imagination thing.

From
https://www.contemporarypediatrics.c...y-unvaccinated

"According to the report, published in the Morbidity and Mortality
Weekly Report (MMWR), 1.3% of children born in 2015 had not received any
vaccinations by the 2017 National Immunization Survey-Child
(NIS-Child).1 This figure indicates an upward trend in children in the
19-month to 35-month age group going without vaccinations, up from 0.9%
in 2011 and 0.3% in 2001."

Roughly 99% of American parents get their kids vaccinated. Nobody holds
a gun to their head. They do it because they want to. They know it's smart.

As is usual you simply cannot wait to show your total ignorance of the world outside of your classroom:

"The influenza virus has yet to hit the Northern Hemisphere, but flu vaccine season is already in full swing, with banners outside pharmacies urging: "Get Your Flu Shot Now." What's not advertised, however, is just how lackluster the vaccine is. The most commonly used flu shots protect no more than 60% of people who receive them; some years, effectiveness plunges to as low as 10%. Given that a bad flu season can kill 50,000 people in the United States alone, "10% to 60% protection is better than nothing," says Michael Osterholm, an epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. "But it's a terribly inadequate vaccine for a serious public health threat." Now, researchers are striving to understand why it fails so often—and how to make a markedly better one."

The CDC notes that the flu is very dangerous to young children and while it doesn't a lot of deaths it does cause a great deal of mental disabilities. Probably Frank wouldn't notice judging from the way he writes he was a victim himself.

Another thing - there are NO ways of testing for seasonal flu because it mutates every year. Therefore the only way of estimating flu deaths is entirely a doctors symptomatic diagnosis. The CDC is limited to reporting deaths according to that on the death certificates but estimates that in a typical season that they are understated by 300%.

To Frank the world is simple because he is.


Such an elaborate deflection to avoid admitting you were wrong!

Your claim was "most parents do not want to vaccinate children." As
usual, data shows you were completely wrong. So you threw some grade
school insults and tried to pretend we were talking about whether the
flu vaccine is effective.

Normal people don't need such tactics to try to retain their illusion of
self-worth. You seem really, really desperate.
