I think they meant that the parents chose to not proceed with vaccinations after age 2 months, not that they continue to not vaccinate. Tetanus is different in that there is no "herd immunity" benefit since it is not transmitted p

Note: USA-specific Not even 20 years ago, before any number could be ported to mobiles, landlines in some (all?) Baby Bell regions had their prefix determined by geography. In other words, you could know what "zone" a given phone

This is reminiscent of the Frederick Forsythe short story "The Shepherd", in which a Vampire (early British jet bomber) suffers instrument failure flying westward to Canada on Christmas Eve. I highly recommend the audio of the cl

Alzheimers in the US is growing at alarming rates Is occurrence increasing alarmingly, or is it just being more properly diagnosed ? "Senility" and "old age" may not have been properly isolated last century.

I just happened to read Downbeat (December issue?) where one of their top 5 albums of the year was Steve Tibbetts' Life Of . I'll wager most people have never heard of him. There was a jazz/fusion/younameit FM station
