CV and mad panic behaviour

[Baggers]

GTC, If there wasnt a whole economy and political landscape riding on it I would believe that but its more than just a health issue now and I'm not so sure the balance is 100% weighted to the safety of the masses.
When I was a kid the Indian Govt went on a sterilization program to keep the population in check, think they might even given away free transistor radios if you had yourself done, lot of people got ill after the procedures both men and women, whole thing was a failure and mess....if ScoMo starts offering Ipods with every jab then run...

The Spotted One will likely know more about this than I do but I know many medications, including psychopharmacology, have an an accepted 'error or adverse reaction' %, generally <5%. Recalling again my Naval vaccination experience (way back when ships were wood and men were steel... sorry, an old Navy gag) you'd get in a line of around a hundred blokes and just about always 1 or two blokes would get really crook and end up not being accepted.

The TB was a funny vaccine... first you had a test under the skin of your forearm and if it reacted with a watery blister (few days later) that was a good response so you were then swabbed with the vaccine on the upper arm which was then hit numerous times with a needle. Sure enough a big scabby sore came up and when it healed you had this pock mark on your upper arm about the size of a one cent coin... a la TB immune.
