JayhawkJumper 0 #1 April 10, 2003 I am soooo tempted right now. At my University (which has a med school), they are doing medical testing and you get $700.00. It's small pox medical test where they basically draw blood from you, then give you the vaccine, and draw blood afterward. Then you get another $100 for every person you refer. If I refer a few people, thats like a free canopy.... hmmm... but then again there's the whole small pox thing.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrazyIvan 0 #3 April 11, 2003 That pox vaccine might be fatal, also, pox vaccine IS CONTAGIOUS, so, you better ask a bunch of questions.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BoobieCootie 0 #4 April 11, 2003 Don't be a guinea pig dude. First of all, I would not take a vaccine unless the people giving it have taken it themselves. At least in WA, you get a card stating the date, type of vaccination, and who adminstered. At least ask that for proof. As carzyIvan said, the vaccine is contagous. But so is my happiness after a skydive - but at least it's harmless Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where's the Free? So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!

JayhawkJumper 0 #7 April 11, 2003 Hmmm, interesting. What do you mean that the vaccine is contagious? Or do you mean infectious? I know they used to require the vaccine for everyone and pretty much everyone over a certain age has it. Didn't all of our troops get it as well before going over to Iraq?

happythoughts 0 #8 April 11, 2003 The following opinion is based on my non-existant medical experience. I believe that vaccines are weakened versions of the disease. Then, your body produces antibodies and gains resistance. Many times people walk around feeling lousy and sneezing for 3 days after a vaccine. Don't do them myself. Just my opinion. This is an experiment, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody gave it a second thought back then._______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JayhawkJumper 0 #10 April 11, 2003 You are right about the vaccine being a weakened version of the disease, or something else that can produce the antibodies. I've been vaccinated against a lot of stuff and I've never felt anything afterward. I need to get a lot more info on the experiment, but from what I've heard, they are considering making small pox vaccine's mandatory again and this is a new version of the vaccine that they are testing. They give it to you and then test your blood later to see if you are actually immune. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
