FWIW, I think people that don't bother with the flu shot are nowhere near as bad as people who don't get their children the MMR inoculation, because of a widely debunked theory being promoted by some random celebrity....

Personally I ignored the flu shot for years. My take was I am reasonably healthy individual and there are people with compromised or underdeveloped immune systems that need it more than I do. I rarely got the flu when I had the shot and rarely got the flu when I didn't have the shot. But perspective in life changed when I had a kid and I decided after much debate with the wife to get one again. But you better damn well believe I'm taking my kid to get all their shots and be kept up to date with boosters until they can decide if they want to continue or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood actors need to realize that we watch them for their acting abilities not their scientific expertise. There's a fair sized list of their opinions that should also be ignored.

Why do people listen to celebrities about anything? They are so disconnected from reality. It's a good question. I wish I had the answer. You're correct about Jenny McCarthy. She started the whole thing by making the claim. (I think it was on Oprah) However, I think you might be conflating "celebrity" with who we think deserves to be a celebrity. McCarthy is a perfect example, as is Rob Schneider, who is also on the anti-vaccer list. The fact is, we know who these people are, so even if they might not deserve to be "celebrities", they are nonetheless. I saw a story online about one of the guys from "My 600 lb Life" passing away at age 29. The article referred to him as a "star" of the show, which only goes to show that the word "star", exactly like the word "celebrity" has completely lost it's meaning, in this age of 24/7 TV and hundreds of channels.

I would call DeNiro a political activist, McCarthy an ex B lister, Schneider is about the same. Clint Eastwood is a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, health, blood tests, research and age are all factors that I would consider.

If I had to chose which is more likely to have adverse effects a vaccine or a flu shot I'd say a flu shot. I don't get them because I think they can compromise your immune system, even in a microscopic way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a breeder and wont be. So, I was just curious. You know, when I asked if you would vaccinate your kids....you could have just said yes as you actually do get them their shots.

It probably has to do with the fact that I'm getting close to 60 and older people get it much less often than younger people. It certainly follows that infants and toddlers are at a much higher risk than adults and not immunizing children is irresponsible at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
