[...] you not understand that to expect the AAP will turn up for a rally which touts such anti-science as Aluminium and Formaldehyde being at singularly dangerous levels in vaccines and Anti-Freeze being in… is the height of arrogant stupidity? Surely you cannot be that [...]

Ah, too many cupcakes, too soon…. I’m assuming it was a gluten and casein free cupcake. :-)

Ha, she is fine. I brought her to have a cupcake afterwards. She just ate the frosting…so if anything should happen I will blame the frosting since it’s probably only the second time she’s had it and it would just coincide….

Yay 4 Gmommy and the lil one!

I hope all is calm after her initial burst of anger though.

Science Mom – thanks, someone else had already sent me that and I meant to discuss it but totally forgot so – thanks for the reminder!

Gmommy – good on you :)

S.L. – don’t worry, if you feel like you’re a stolen empty shell of a train wreck who’s been hit by a car you can sue!!$££$$

Sorry, Kev…I was going to tackle the rest of that list but I ate a banana and soy milk earlier, and this headache will not go away.

I drank some water and apple slices to see if that would help, and I still didn’t feel like myself. It was like I had been hit by a bus…

So I brushed my teeth and put some lotion on, and now the best way I can think to explain is, it’s like aliens abducted me.

Off to go find a B12 injection…

Gmommy: FWIW, our daughter had delays very early on (by 6 mos of age) and physical health issues—I think her vaccines have made her stronger, and am so grateful for them. Each year, her immune system gets stronger (and this is a child who was sick constantly, hospitalized a couple of times).

I’m sorry that the anti-vax debate has sent so much fear into parents today. Feel good that you have protected your child. I always give Tylenol and Motrin (4-6 hours apart) on shot days. There’s a new book coming out, “Do Vaccines Cause That?” I just read it & while I’ve never been weary of vaccines, this really helped me understand vaccines, the debates, etc. It may help you feel less worried for the next round of shots.

Hello, so my girl had her vaccines today it’s been 7 hours and she is still the same baby, no vanishing in front of my eyes as of yet. I’m keeping a close eye out on her. But boy was she angry!

They’re trying to appeal to the liberals with the “green” message and the conservatives with the “aborted fetal tissue” stuff. Lame.—————————Good catch.
The point is to play up the worst angles, such as that substitution of antifreeze for PEG, etc.
Interestingly enough, the other day I visited a “Green” site that gave a pretty restrained discussion of formaldehyde, the daily commercial products it is found in, the amounts, and how we contain and utilize it as part of our own biochemical cycles, and how it is found in such, as those bananas, etc.

As for the animal cells, all I can say is that my father is still alive for the last 8 years thanks to good chunks of bovine and swine tissue that replaced a dead part of his heart.
