God works in mysterious ways, doesn't He? Far more mysterious ways than the measles virus does, at least -- we know a hell of a lot about the virus, like how to inoculate people against it. But God, He's mysterious, and one of His earthly servants, Kenneth Copeland, is
Yeah, it's amazing how many people just do not get that. I'm totally serious. I heard a lot of hysteria around the H1N1 vaccine a few years ago, and no amount of explanation worked on some people.
The story was in a reputable magazine, with the name of the victim included, but it was 30 years ago, and I can't find any online archives for Harrowsmith, so it's not an urban legend thing. The whole 10, 000 years argument always falls a little flat for me- you can't quote statistics on how many DID die from milk-born infections over that span of time. We also are no longer old at 40, and the vast majority of our children live past infancy.
This reminds me of a story reported years ago about a newborn who contracted an infectious disease and died when in the hospital. The infection was traced to another mother in the same hospital who had drunk unpastuerized milk on a visit to a farm. Yeah, not a big fan of the whole raw milk craze.
My younger son INSISTED on getting his measles booster at age 4. His big brother was obsessed with Apollo 13 that summer, and he explained very seriously to me and the doctor that if he didn't get vaccinated, he wouldn't be able to be an astronaut.
I think they should have held out a little longer baby jeebus's daddy might have shown up and think of all the customers that would have brought into the mega churchThe hell with passing the plate get the gawd damn bushel baskets out its going to be a major haul

You can get Mumps twice. Once on each side. (I know I did).
That would be the polio vaccine.
No, it's a secondary effect of chicken pox.
Stupid woman once said she didn't have to get her kids immunized because all the other kids did. I was not impressed and told her so.
I got the vaccine for that this year. All 3 of my sisters have had shingles. I didn't like the odds.
