Message: [QUOTE="auggie22, post: 3635032, member: 551"] I am curious why you believe this to be nuts? Hydrochlorawhatver has proven to be safe over 70 years of use and billions of doses consumed. The FDA approves its use for pregnant ladies if I am not mistaken. It is about as safe as a prescription drug can be. The vaccine on the other hand is by all accounts being fast tracked with little in the way of the usual controls or proof of efficacy. If there is ever a vaccine that is risky for a child to take, this is the one. It is also fair to note that an “anti-vaxer” is one end of the extreme of our society. I believe reasonable people in the middle are those, like myself, who wish to decide what medicine you put in my body, and the body of my children. As the brother of a vaccine injured sister, and the victim of a vaccine reaction that had me in a coma on life support, with my parents not far from having to decide whether to pull the plug on their 2 year old boy, I will say that it is quite irritating for people who barely read the news yet think they are educated enough to be smug about anti vaxxers and cavalier about forcing it upon people who very well may be deathly allergic to it. Weighing the public good versus the good of your children is not a simple calculation. [/QUOTE]
