Insidi-Ous-City is a place pervaded by desalient harmosis.

"According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1979, residents exhibited a "disturbingly high rate of miscarriages ... Love Canal can now be added to a growing list of environmental disasters involving toxics, ranging from industrial workers stricken by nervous disorders and cancers to the discovery of toxic materials in the milk of nursing mothers." In one case, two out of four children in a single Love Canal family had birth defects; one girl was born deaf with a cleft palate, an extra row of teeth, and slight retardation, and a boy was born with an eye defect. A survey conducted by the Love Canal Homeowners Association found that 56% of the children born from 1974-1978 had at least one birth defect."

Definiely channeling Lewis Carroll.

Your facts are off for Love Canal, which has nothing to do with vaccines:

Yes, birth defects were increased, but more like 4 to 5%, not 58%.

I always suspected you worked in the Federal Sanitation Department.

Just haven't figured out if you operate a sweeper, or a salt and sand spreader.

I never considered a salt and sand spreader to be operating as a sanitizing function.

This is absolutely, 1000% unrelated to anything in this thread!
"Curiouser and curiouser."

A person corrects you about your facts about Love Canal (of course, your reference to that was also irrelevant), and then this is how you respond?

And a FEDERAL Sanitation Dept? THat's a new one to me.

I just don't get it.

Methinks ergohead is missing the reference:

Jabberwocky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great wiki, by the way.

I think that's what generally happens when people try to be too clever, too funny, and insulting at the same time.......they end up looking like a psychotic horse's behind.

All's ya gotta do is equip a bunch of eosinophils with precision-delivery cortisone at the designated histamine release sites (Al Quaeda).
Many of the so-called epidemics are just brought on by a) a trend in the medical community (think ADHD in the 90s) or b) a higher incidence in diagnoses. Obviously point A is a problem but point B...that comes from research and ever-expanding medical knowledge.

Neither of the things you mentioned could be treated with a vaccine. Neither are diseases but lifelong disabilities, so your metaphor here doesn't really work.

And what in God's name does al Qaeda have to do with the immune system?

Asthma IS a pretty trendy disease.

Women love sensitive men.

I'm sensitive, and look at all the women I'm attracting on this thread.

Some will even talk dirty to me.

Yeah, I think I'll stick with the drug.

But you are assuming there aren't better choices. Good luck if you are that 1%.....

Deflection apparently is your strong point.

Why don't you get back on topic.

I'll help you:

This is a thread about vaccinations.

Not radiation poisoning, not sanitation departments, not breast feeding.

Care to get back on track?
