ack! hope everyone remembers how easiy it is to get the wrong tone in writing because we are missing the rest of the communication - easiest if you assume the person really likes y ou and is just trying to discuss the topic. Sometimes things come across harsher then they were meant....
Sonya and mighty max, I really liked reading all of your posts as Sonya's metaphors of the soldiers helped me understand somethings, and Mightymax, your countering was also helpful. Its a complex issue that is hard to sort out for those of us like me, who do not have a medical or biology background. And clearly vaccines are controversial.
Deep breath everyone! I think the gist of it is there are different viewpoints, and talking about them, turning them over, thinking about them, trying your best to illustrate your ideas, ....this is all good and the perfect place to do it. Remember, if you see it one way and I see it the other way, it is hard to discuss that in a forum without making it clear that we think differently! but, the arguments are about the IDEAS not the person.
ok, stepping off my soap box, and carry on!
