Does anybody else get really annoyed when their hear research misrepresented in the news? I was listening to the radio today and they were talking about a study done in England and were stating the results as fact. It was one study that showed some correlation. Correlation =/= causation.

The news has to draw people in, so they do tend to make things seem more extreme than they are. It can be very annoying, especially when you read about the study or whatever and then get told by someone who only heard the teaser as if they know what they're talking about.

I'm all for vaccinations but the flu shot is BS. The flu shot is the best guess by pharmaceutical companies as to which strain of flu will be the dominant one this year. They've been wrong the last few years and people were getting useless flu shots and pharmaceutical companies were making tons of money.

well. the docs here wont. they have to have certain qualifications as to age, weight..etc.

 

and with my little one, they give them in 3 doses.  2 mo. 4 mo. 6 mo.

 

he said she has a 45% of getting it. and a survival rate of 90% with two doses.

 

without either doses, 0%.
