Birdgirl, I have not read the reserch on MRSA/VRSA--interesting. Enjoy the medical view point made with such well articulated facts! Take you antibiotics for a few days, quit and get a worse disease!

This is a very good reason to listen to your Dr. instructions and do what they tell you. I don't mean, everything, make intelligent choices. You have the right to refuse tests you don't need, if you feel it is being done for your pocket money or the test may have long term harm with repeated use of testing device. Use your head. I have known many that do not take their full presciptions or won't give them to the child for the entire routine, because the spoiled little brat put up a fit. (don't spoil them so much).

Fact is, the adult is responsible for the choice and it isn't fair to expose other people to a preventable disease.

I've been vaccinated for hepatitis since it has been around. I fear it, maybe more than aids. Which is another one I'd get along with just about every one that has come down the pipeline! Especially, CANCER.

Just because you are healthy today, is all the more reason to get your shots! No one is sure of tomorrow. Tomorrow, you could get in an accident and be in the hospital for a long time. You risk exposure to the disease's you could have prevented when you were healthy.

Hindsight 20/20! Prefer to choose to look forward with safety. pr:hippy:
