Perhaps I'm jaded and paranoid, but having your kids ingest bodily fluids a total stranger sends you in the mail sounds like a recipe for DISASTER.

Holy crap! Can't watch the vid at work but I get the gist of it.

I've heard of folks bringing their kids around other kids who maybe have like chicken pox or something, kind of in a get it out of the way sort of thing, but this is unreal.

If that what qualifies as jaded and paranoid, then count me in as well.

I vaccinated my kids for chicken pox rather than waiting for them to get it, because they think it will prevent it turning into shingles later in life. I've seen enough people end up with shingles to know I didn't want that for my kids. Plus, no one can remember my husband ever having had chicken pox, so we really didn't want them bringing it home for him. For the people who choose to have pox parties instead, while I can understand it some, it's at least not THIS.

If you watch to the end of that video, there's even one mom on there trying to get Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Chicken Pox for her kids, to prevent losing custody of them over a vaccine quarrel with her ex husband. Can you imagine hitting your kids with a cocktail of deadly childhood diseases just to avoid a vaccine?

Not just later in life. My daughter, who is 20, had them this year. I was surprised as I had always thought the incubation period was much longer, but apparently stress will bring it out. Never knew that before.

Also I don't think the vaccination was available when my kids were younger.

Some people just get crazy paranoid and insane over vaccines, but then I guess some people are just crazy and paranoid, lol.

I'm definitely watching this vid tonight.

Speaking of vaccines, and the hysteria involved, I heard an interesting report on brain cells and autism, which hopefully will put to rest all the ravings about autism being caused by vaccines.

Is the chicken pox vaccine good for life, or do you need boosters?

They think it's good for life. That's the fun part with new vaccines. There are a lot of 'we think's.

Ok, so I've finally had a chance to watch the entire video. I cannot believe it is not against the law to not only transport contagions across state lines but across international borders. I think Ms. Soccer mom in the parking lot, if she is indeed the one who sent it from Phoenix, needs a visit from both the CDC and the FBI.

And I cannot believe the woman acutally looking for rubella and measles. Unreal!

Insanity...this is what the world has come to unfortunately. Some kids are just unlucky to be born to such retarded parents.
