Chicken Pox

[KayCSmommy]

So I watched the news for the first time in ages, and they were talking about the swine flu, and how they are moving the status up and what not, and then they go straight from the swine flu to the outbreak of Chicken Pox. Where they loudly announced that its mandatory that children get vaccines before starting school, but children who are unvaccinated must stay at home during this time. It just blows me away that they see Chicken Pox as this terrible killing disease.

Yes....indeed it is dumb. Chickenpox making the news? That's ridiculous.

Actually it makes me sick that they see a flu as a terrible and newsworthy item. Whether they call it swine, spanish, bird or whatever...it is only a flu. Some people will always die. I have news for them, some people will always die. Period. What they are doing is simply ridiculous. And the news is own by the same oligarchy that owns everything else.

Chicken Pox party please!

I'm new to this so not sure if I'm posting in the right place. I'm not vaccinating my kids against chicken pox and they are getting older (one is almost 12) and I REALLY want them to get chicken pox but don't know how to catch it! I've heard of CP parties where kids who have it get together and pass it along. If anyone reading this is in the Boston area (or anywhere even remotely near, I am willing to travel) and knows of someone who has chicken pox, please contact me asap. I don't have time to check this forum often, so please email me directly: [e-mail]
thanks!
