It also helps to deliver the kid through vaginal means rather than cesarian, because the kid becomes more exposed to bacteria along the birth canal as the baby is extruded out. Good for the immune system.

You're killing us all!

A healthy, developing immune system improves immunities by being exposed to a wider range of bacteria, thus negating a negative reaction when exposed later on? who knew?

In before the "Vaccines are causing allergies" people that completely miss that vaccines are also exposing your immune system to a dead or weakened version of a disease and are a miniscule fraction of what a person is exposed to every day.

Yeah, I would say mine is usually cleaner than my hands.

My kids are get the typical kid colds and coughs(which mom and dad then get), but no allergies to speak of.

My wife took our kids to the mall play area just up the street all the time in winter since it pours rain for hours and the playground turned into a giant puddle. Those places could probably stand in for Carlin's Hudson.

The only time we've all be super sick was when swine flu was first making the rounds.

//We got a chicken pox notice from the school two weeks after school started. One of my youngest's kindergarten compatriots was never vaccinated, and exposed the whole class. Everyone else in the class either had the vaccine, already had chicken pox, or got very lucky, because no one else got sick.

In regards to your slashes, why the hell are the parents of unvaccinated kids not arrested for endangering the public after incidents like that happen?

Oregon has a religious and philosophical exemption, and no one ever presses charges when their kid gets sick.

Personally, I'm disgusted by it.

I have older neighbors that don't understand why their grandkids and great-grandkids are not getting vaccinated. One of them had polio as a child and survived with a minor limp, while a friend of his had the disease and did not survive.

I am waiting for our troops to come home from Afghanistan, one of the last places in the world to have polio endemic, and then accidentally expose our increasingly unvaccinated populace to polio. It will be a sad day.

Mark my words, if we do have a polio outbreak in the US, the epicenter will be one of the military bases that troops and equipment are returned too and not New York, Chicago, or LA.
