The worst part of chicken pox for me was getting the scabs in my hair. Out came the scabs with little clumps of hair!

Glad you made it. ;)

Chicken pox are a right of passage, especially at 25!

And yes, I did get the chicken pox from him. It was a little itchy but very easy for me to deal with. I'm glad I got it done when I was a kid.

Unfortunately, yes, some people do believe it. In that particular case of the connection with autism, there is even scientific evidence that the original study was deliberately skewed.

The man who created the false study linking it to autism was actually imprisoned last year in mid-october. Turns out he was taking bribes from the UK pharmaceutical industry and the entire study was a load of BS he wrote up one night before releasing it to the public.

Exactly. But even after that the myth will continue, and some that know about this will even spin it to say that he was persecuted or whatever.

Derailing this thread! Not only were the results skewed, thermisol - what they said caused it, has not been in vaccines for over 20 years.
