    With regards to aluminum,

    First off, by adding more of a substance, it does not multiply, it just adds. So it does not have a “multiplicative” effect on the child.

    The mechanism that Dooms mentions such as vomiting and diarrhea are not therapeutic for someone that ingested something with aluminum. Is there any data comparing parenteral vs enteral routes for aluminum toxicity that would validate your claim?

    From CHOPs website:

    Given the quantities of aluminum we are exposed to on a daily basis, the quantity of aluminum in vaccines is miniscule. Aluminum-containing vaccines have been used for decades and have been given to more than 1 billion people without problem. In spring 2000, the National Vaccine Program Office (NVPO) reviewed aluminum exposure through vaccines and determined that no changes to vaccine recommendations were needed based on aluminum content. The Global Advisory Committee on Vaccine Safety, part of the World Health Organization (WHO), has also reviewed studies and found no evidence of health risks that would require changes to vaccine policy.

    practical,

    Emotion has no place when it comes to science especially medical science. I hope that in whatever areas of health care you claim to be involved they do not practice based on what they love or because they happen to share some view.

    Using authority as part of your argument, especially when the context of the argument is poor, undermines the argument.

    I do invite you to take a peek at the otherwise very long thread in the coffee room about this topic, (something about vaccines studies that you might have missed). Some tried very hard to push an agenda against established medical science yet were unable to do so. In fact, they were exposed for being frauds (or maybe simply just posting from sites that are fraudulent).

    Dooms,

    As DY pointed out, you simply lied here.

    I urge anyone that is skeptical about this subject to take a look at that thread, especially the last two pages, dooms was left out to dry. The facts and the data are straightforward and stacked against the radical anti medicine position.

    Practical, your posts do not make you seem like someone that is well educated and actually practices medicine.

    Dooms,

    First off, I really do not understand why you are still at it, after being exposed as twisting facts for your position, you have left us hanging at the other thread in the coffee room, you have been exposed as someone that is willing to twist the facts to support your position.

    If that is the case, then why even investigate and publicize the non-findings, since he was anyways not able to charge a sitting president with a crime.

    Do prosecutors investigate and disclose their opinions or possibilities that a crime might or might have not occurred when they are not charging anyone with a crime, regardless of the reasoning?

    It so seems that there is more going on here than it seems, this is not someone just doing their job, this is someone justifying something that has legal experts scratching their minds.

    And with regards to Congress, its politics as usual, the Democrats have already stated in public that a crime has occurred, some have even used criminal terms even without the president being charged with anything let alone being tried.

    Which basically means, that the standard applied to our president, is that until he is exonerated (which is not something that prosecutors do) we cannot say for sure a crime has not occurred, therefore he needs to be charged.

    I agree that the way Mueller worded his statements make the republicans look bad. As he made it seem as if there might substance if a crime.

    However, this is not Russia and prosecutors do not exonerate people, they either charge or don’t charge.

    No one asked him his opinion, this is not an academic thesis that he needed to produce. Which is why he is just further confusing the matter.

    Im not saying there is no crime, if I would know for sure a crime has not been committed, I would have stated so.

    What does that mean? Your not sure a crime has not been committed??
    Is that the standard that he applied to Trump?! That trump needs his exoneration for a crime he wasn’t charged with?

    Amila,

    Your falling victim to partisan politics, this does not mean there was a crime, he clearly stated that he never looked in that direction as he was not tasked on doing so.

    To the average person, Trump comes across as an innocent victim that was upset that he is being accused of something that wasnt there. now they are going to go after him for being upset about it and almost taking actions that were obstruction.

    It seems as if the Democrats will be preoccupied with items that the average citizen does not care, and hand Trump a victory.

    My point was, that Mueller just added some confusion which will just make both parties claim victory.

    To me, Mueller’s public comments only made things more confusing.

    a. Barr has good intentions and released more than I asked him to.
    b. I did not look if Trump committed a crime, because of the DOJ’s position that a sitting president cannot be charged.
    c. Yet it could be he committed a crime, if i would have known he did not, I would have said so.
    d. the reason I did investigate the president, is to see if there were co-conspirators.
    e. If there was a crime, it has to be investigated outside of the DOJ.
    f. I will not add more than I have already written in the report. the report is my testimony.

    On one hand he is hinting that there could very much be an underlying crime, on the other hand, he is saying that I did not even check to see if the president committed a crime.

    Once again, both sides will have enough material from these comments to claim victory.

    MAILBAG: A Family’s Nightmare of a Young Child With Measles

    Some insight as to what the measles virus can and does cause.

    The fact that the child recovered mean the suffering relevant? Would it only matter if Ch”v another child died?

    There are children that suffered much worse during the current outbreak. Those that are promoting this virus as if its mild and beneficial, are to blame for all of this suffering.

    I believe that the redactions wont really change much one way or another.

    I have skimmed through it, there is enough material for everyone to claim victory.

    There are questionable actions from trump, even those questionable actions have not had any impact on the investigation.

    Furthermore, its questionable if the intent was criminal or simply frustrating about being investigated about something that simply didn’t occur (as is known today).

    While there is no evidence that a crime occurred or the intent was criminal, there is enough for those that hate trump to claim stuff.

    The very same thing, to one person its a bad thing and an impeachable offense.

    To another, its total exoneration that no crime has been committed and that the entire investigation was based on corrupt and false data.

    Not sure why comparison would make it better or worse. If its bad, its bad.

    Also, measles hurts the younger population where the flu hurts more of the older population.

    Also to take into account, its not possible for just one vaccine to prevent one from getting the flu for the rest of their life, yet measles has a fairly good preventable vaccine available.

    J,

    Observations cannot be debated, they are facts you should not be debating facts.

    You asked for data:

    CDC/Measle/complications

    Some people may suffer from severe complications, such as pneumonia (infection of the lungs) and encephalitis (swelling of the brain). They may need to be hospitalized and could die.

    As many as one out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children.
    About one child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain) that can lead to convulsions and can leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability.
    For every 1,000 children who get measles, one or two will die from it.
    Measles may cause pregnant woman to give birth prematurely, or have a low-birth-weight baby.

    Long-term Complications

    Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a very rare, but fatal disease of the central nervous system that results from a measles virus infection acquired earlier in life. SSPE generally develops 7 to 10 years after a person has measles, even though the person seems to have fully recovered from the illness. Since measles was eliminated in 2000, SSPE is rarely reported in the United States.

    Among people who contracted measles during the resurgence in the United States in 1989 to 1991, 4 to 11 out of every 100,000 were estimated to be at risk for developing SSPE. The risk of developing SSPE may be higher for a person who gets measles before they are two years of age.

    CDC/History of Measles

    In 1912, measles became a nationally notifiable disease in the United States, requiring U.S. healthcare providers and laboratories to report all diagnosed cases. In the first decade of reporting, an average of 6,000 measles-related deaths were reported each year.

    I can easily provide you general observations and studies that are available.

    But for the current outbreak, there are no official numbers and I dont think that anyone will provide you with a list of last names of patients that have been transported or admitted.

    To give you insight on how harmful and disastrous the measles virus was back in the day.

    There have been a number of hospitalizations with a few ICU admissions from the measles virus and its sequelae. While these children will IYh survive, in no way does this discount the severity of the virus.

    While i have never used nest security system, I like their capabilities such as recognizing familiar faces and alerting you if an unfamiliar face is at your door. It zooms in and follows the source of movement.

    I wonder if there are hard wired systems that have similar capabilities.

    Found online from CNN: (seems like the change of gun laws was based on the very same reasoning I have raised)

    “Israel has relaxed the country’s restrictions on gun licenses, in a move that could make up to 500,000 more civilians eligible to carry firearms, provided they have a certain amount of military or security training.

    The new regulations allow veterans of Israel’s infantry units to more easily obtain licenses, as well as allowing officers and commanders who have completed their reserve duty to keep their weapons. The regulations also allow emergency responders and former police officers to obtain gun licenses more easily.

    The change could potentially quadruple the number of civilians in Israel who have gun permits. Roughly 145,000 civilians currently have gun permits, according to Israel’s ministry of public security.

    The changes went into effect Tuesday, with Israeli minister of public security Gilad Erdan saying more armed civilians increases the chances of stopping attacks and preventing injuries.

    “Trained citizens who hold weapons in the public sphere contribute to the feeling of security,” Erdan said in a statement announcing the new regulations. “They are an important line of defense against ‘lone wolf’ actions and are used in a sense as a temporary force multiplier, thereby strengthening public safety.””

    from Wikipedia:

    ” In 2018, Israel significantly loosened firearms restrictions, allowing all citizens who had undergone combat training as a combat soldier in the army, to apply for a license. This only applies to those who have passed infantry rifle training”

    Yet, my point was not that gun laws in Israel are not as strict as in the US, my point was that the net result in Israel seems to be that there are a significant number of civilians carrying firearms which in numerous occasions limited the damage of the shooting attack.

    While most are focused on preventing the shooting in the first place, I think there is a component that is not really being looked at, which is the ability to defend yourself from an attack and ability to limit the damage of the attacker.

    Regardless of the law interpretation I believe that if anyone just happens to be caught up in a active shooter incident, they would prefer that there be a law abiding individual that is well trained and can effectiy eliminate the threat at that same incident.

    In Israel this has happened numerous times and has clearly limited the scope of damage of these attacks.

    Obviously, there is no solution that will eliminate gun shooting, and there are different opinions on how to reduce potential gun violence.

    However, I believe that there are a few components to this discussion, one would be on a macro level and the other on a micro level.

    For instance, having stricter gun laws might or might not have an impact on potential gun violence. Yet we can also have a discussion about what if you were to be caught up in an active shooter situation, what would be the best mechanism for you as an individual that would increase your survival probability and also possibly eliminate the active shooter threat from creating further damage?

    What if you or someone near you would be carrying a legal weapon and be trained on how to effectively use it, would that reduce the shooters potential for further damage?
