@Machpants Yeah, I had Chicken Pox as a kid, but a few years ago I got exposed to a sufficiently different strain and had to spend a month in bed.
A couple of years ago I got shingles (felt like being clinically depressed, I was so tired). Gonna get the new vaccine when it's available in NZ.

Great to see some kids acting more adult than their drop kick parents

This is an interesting take on it. For sure this kid should not be playing during an outbreak but as far as a justifiable reason not to be vaccinated this actually holds morally for some. I had no idea this was where a vaccine originated.

I love that last reply. Scarily, too many people seem to think browsing YouTube/the top five Google results are "doing your research" on medical science...
-
@Donsteppa yeah that was the main one I copied that for.

"Do you own research"... for all the effort shown below, Flat Earthers somehow still exist, and without checking I'm sure there must be a three minute YouTube clip somewhere about NASA being a hoax...

We are not to blame for frog toxin therapy death: Kambo couple
Kambo is an alternative therapy where applicants burn the top layer of their skin and apply secretions from the Amazonian giant monkey frog onto the wound to induce vomiting, sweating and diarrhoea.
It has been traditionally used by Amazonian tribes to increase stamina and health, but is increasingly used in the West for spiritual purposes.
"Spiritual" = grifting, which reminds me of this classic Nick Mullen tweet:
I'm not religious but I'm spiritual, which means I think the mothman prophecy is real and I don't feel bad about shoplifting

See how far you can make it through this, I got as far as the kid with meningitis six minutes in
Not on vaccines but I liked the comment about fluoride and how if the government really wanted to control people's minds they'd remove the fluoride so people would have more fillings so they could beam signals directly to people's heads.

Some will consider it WOO...
Hypnotherapy/hypnosis
Any experiences? -
@RLx31 It def works, if it works. My other half did it for stopping smoking and said it made a difference. But it does work, but it's a bit placebo like, you have to be open to it.
