Can't comment about why this happened, but I am a believer in the flu shot.

Btw Ken, many people die every year going to and from church, while attending church related events, and on while on missionary assignments around the world. All these things are tragic, so it seems god's work doesn't exclude people from accidents, misfortune, and human error. I'd be all for banning religious activities at the same time we ban vaccines.

Why would you ban vaccines? Just the polio vaccine alone has helped the whole of this world! |

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. There is no evidence to indicate that flu vaccine causes narcolepsy, nor even a plausible biological theory as to why it might. |

Thanks for your unbiased post. Perhaps there is another ingredient in the one produced for the US that should be used. |

I stand corrected. Somehow that one flew under my radar. The CDC and NIH, by the way, are fantastic examples of government doing efficiently what the private sector does not or can not. |

I would say that I'm curious why you posted this in the first place, but to be curious implies a degree of uncertainty about the answer. Vaccine denial is, for whatever reason, a common Evangelical blood sport. In similar news, did everyone see that Jenny McCarthy has finally come out and admitted that her son does not, and has never had autism. How many hundreds of thousands of mothers has she persuaded to not vaccinate based on that thoroughly disproven link. |

Vaccine denial is, for whatever reason, a common Evangelical blood sport. A few of reasons: 1) First you are in the medical profession and I thought you would be interested in it 2) Second - just thinking about this family, can't imagine the pain and suffering they must be going through. 3) Third - to add to the topics of discussions. 4) Last - it is interesting to see the broad reactions to a simply statement of "This must be very difficult for the family."Incidentally, I vaccinated my children |

You vaccinated your children before your evangelical mentors took up the anti-vaccination cause. I seriously suspect you wouldn't have them vaccinated today as a new parent. |
