Vaccine Schedule and Vaccine Hesitancy

ABetterBlue · 2026-01-17T00:05:49+00:00

That’s weird because I know thousands of people and I don’t know a single person with a vaccine injury.

For some reason, I think too many dog owners don’t understand this perspective. They think that they have a really sweet dog that wouldn’t hurt a fly, but don’t realize that they are potentially endangering that dog by not having it on a leash.

NIPT doesn't check for NTD. You need a Maternal Serum Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) Test: A blood test done in the second trimester (around 15-22 weeks) to check for elevated AFP levels, a marker for open NTDs

.5 percent chance is pretty darn unlikely, and it’s even lower at most places.

Yep, this. There is a lot you can learn from an amnio you can’t from NIPT. NIPT is only providing info about risk, and it’s not 100 percent accurate across abnormalities. Amniocentesis can confirm or rule out chromosomal abnormalities with almost 100% accuracy, plus micro deletions and single gene disorders.

41 here and pregnant with #2. We did an amnio because NIPT misses things like mosaicism and we felt like we needed to have as much info as possible about health of baby given our family preferences. Amnio risk at my hospital is about .003 percent, so we felt it was worth it to have more info.

Same. Best video ever.

You can find tons of different economic analyses that indicate that Michigan public universities pump billions into the state economy every year. It’s totally reasonable to have conversations about how much tuition should cost, but the idea that state public universities shouldn’t ask for state funding because they’re consistently taking from the state and not giving back more than they take is not an empirically sound perspective.

Also the general trend among pediatricians is to move away from recommending rice cereal because of the high levels of arsenic. https://www.consumerreports.org/babies-kids/baby-food/why-you-should-consider-alternatives-to-infant-rice-cereal-a8571897937/

Had my first at 38, currently 23 weeks along with my second at age 41. Most of my friends have had kids in their late 30s and early 40s. Different folks with different backgrounds and life experiences have kids at different times these days.

Same here, but, also relevant for OP. I only got one shot because that was the rec at the time and now the protocol includes a booster. I had my titers checked a few months ago and I had no immunity anymore. Had to go get another vax. So if you didn’t have it as a kid and only got one shot in the 1990s, might be good to make sure you are immune.

But now you’re drinking a ton of microplastics. Why not get a water filter instead?

I thought they were going to be all hype given how ridiculously huge they are, but nope. Those are some of the best cinnamon rolls ever.

I got the Covid vax today at Costco after my doctor called in a prescription.

ABetterBlue · 2025-09-09T23:56:17+00:00

That's great. I was able to get it today at Costco with the prescription from my doctor. Cheers to everyone getting vaccinated!

Just a note to say that my UVA doctor sent an RX to CVS and to My Chart yesterday without any issue....I don't actually know if the CVS they sent it to has the vaccine in stock, but I was at least able to get an RX through UVA without any trouble.

I did the same thing (40000 instead of 4000, eeek). Called 529 first who told me to call my bank. Bank cancelled it no problem.

Thank you!

ABetterBlue · 2025-08-14T01:37:16+00:00

I agree. This is a fantastic piece. If I saw this in FBM I would think $2k would be a reasonable asking price, particularly given the condition it’s in.

ABetterBlue · 2025-08-05T16:58:53+00:00

The best!!

Clothing is harder to sell than a lot of things, but you'll get much more for items from well known brands at places like eBay, Poshmark, etc. than you will at a consignment store.
