port st. lucie infection moved north? -- j

I haven't heard of this but I told you about my tetanus vaccine experience.... they blamed it on the pertussis vaccine that was mixed in with it, but damn... I couldn't move for 3 days and it messed up some of my .....girl stuff... I read later that LOTS of women had had miscarriages from it too.

Yes, but I don't want to get what THEY deserve. How do we stop that?

LOL! (My initial reaction). If such is the case, they should have hung around and asked for a burger with bacon so it would kinda taste like breakfast.. I guess they have such a selection. Last time I bought food from McDonald's was two years ago during a 5-hour road trip. Quarter ponders are easy to eat while driving.

I also taught the Fuzzy books - the underlying question being, of course, what is a person?

ohhhh, yeah. I used to teach that book - now THERE'S fun!

Subspecies "Ghetto-potamus".
I remember encountering a lot of these creatures in my years in the 'hood. (Detroit)

I was impressed with him, too. You notice, also, that he only defended himself - even took the time to set the chairs upright. Looks like martial arts training to me.

OK, but who takes the time to do the job? and what do we have when we're "finished"? and what do we do with it?

(Including "Lone Star Planet" and "Little Fuzzy", Susanne and IndianaGary)

If you have a Kindle, Amazon has the "H. Beam Piper Megapack", 33 stories including "Lone Star Planet", and one of my favorites, "Little Fuzzy" for $0.99.

More likely from an ample supply of Big Mac's.

Jack-in-the-Box serves breakfast 24-by-7 and has better tasting sausage anyway.

Interesting question, which has lead to an hour or so of intermittent research this morning. Thank you for posing it.

The answer seems to be that the vaccine, if it did contain b-HCG, is very unlikely to have had that hormone accidentally present. There is some chance that b-HCG was deliberately added for the stated purpose of birth control. (This was a major surprise to me. I had assumed that this would be just another random anti-vaccine accusation.)

It turns out that during the 1970's a combination of tetanus and b-HCG was used to induce an immunological response that prevented implantation of a blastocyst. (This makes the process technically birth control rather than contraception.) The best article on this is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunocont....

On the other hand, Snopes comes down with a definite False. Their article may be found at http://www.snopes.com/medical/disease/te....

(Aside: Remember when we had that thread about the inefficiency of a college surgically sterilizing deer? Well, the wiki article on immunocontraception shows what has been done do advance that cause.)

I think that Snopes has a good point in that 58,000 deaths occur annually from neonatal tetanus - so there is a lot of good that derives from the tetanus shot. They also point out that if there were an effective immunocontraceptive it would be a boon for the pharma companies...not something that they snuck around doing underhandedly.

So far, I am inclined to believe that the UN did introduce b-HCG to introduce an unapproved birth control measure to advance their own agenda without consent from the recipients. This would only provide a marginal and temporary decrease in the birth rate, but that might have been considered an asset since the cause-and-effect would be less obvious.

Well, McDonald's will now have to serve breakfast into the late hours - otherwise, it may appear to be racist...

I would never call them bitches. My beagle is a bitch and she's the sweetest creature you'll ever meet -- unless you act in a threatening manner. However, their bodies are those of a human, but their brains are that of a predator animal. They need to be trained like the animal they are in reality.

Mother nature has the cure. When man shirks responsibility or starts getting really stupid, he fumbles the ball and ma will intercept. That is, when the great "free stuff" state collapses the attrition rate will be enormous. It's the Darwin Award given to failed civilizations. Bitter medicine.

It is that "entitlement mentality" that creates this type of behavior. Stop all of the subsidies and handout and this will sort itself out!!

It's strange, but....when I discover that there are people in this country who will fight for a McDonald's breakfast, it's a fine reminder that I do have my priorities straight.

The fact that these people are held up as idiots also restores a bit of my faith in humanity.

Will do so. I like Piper's writing style. And his anti-dolts-in-high-places attitude.

Thank you for the recommendation.

hey, I have a question. The Catholics are reporting that tetnus vaccines given to child bearing aged girls was laced with a hormone that either made them infertile or caused them to miscarry. There needs to be independent reporting on this, but my question is: if it is true, is there any way the vaccine could have been tainted through negligence?

Find (or download) a copy of it and read it - it's a fairly short read. Keep in mind it was written in the 1950's, (and it's sci-fi correspondent of the era) so it's a little, um, outlandish in places, however... when you get to that scene, when the court reopens - and, well, I won't spoil it for you.

By the way - when you start reading Piper, you realize he was *no* friend of socialists, pullmongers, or moochers...

lol

I believe in throwing a hissy fit and hurling furniture. But I think it should be saved for a more worthy cause - like preserving justice or freedom.

Not breakfast burritos.

I do not recall that scene.

I do recall Star's "Take em out and shoot him." verdict in Glory Road. ( A bit extreme for this case.)
