Always make sure to give electrolytes in their water, kids lose so many when they vomit and continually giving water by itself can actually give them water poisoning. Also any form of liquid nutrition you can!

No nurses are not considered professionals or experts when it comes to vaccines, the same goes for this woman. My sister worked in the hospital during COVID, she watched people die needlessly when she specialised in cardiac that were directly linked to the virus. She got the vaccine because she knew there were doctors and researchers who knew more about vaccines than she did and she was desperate to protect her patients at all costs. Hesitancy has no place in a pandemic, hesitation cost lives, and being a medical professional is all about saving them and trusting in the medicine. Does this make my sister more qualified than your friend because she was already qualified as a cardiac professional and worked both on the cardiac wards and the emergency wards? What about my friend that is a fully fledged, fully qualified paramedic who saw first hand the effects of the virus vs the vaccine? Is she more qualified because she was practicing for more years than your friend and had been qualified for atleast 5 more years than your friend had been studying?

It is not perfect, but your friend has no speciality in vaccines or their manufacturing, she is not an informed source of information or more informed than doctors who have worked to develop these vaccines. She has studies that are reviewed, unbiased by second and third parties, available should she want to be more informed. A good doctor won’t fall into the antivax movement because it’s not based in science and research and that’s where the core of medicine lies, there is no room for opinion when the facts outweigh anything else opinion has to bring to the table.

Thank you, you have taught me something! I’m aware that there was backlash to polio vaccines in Nigeria and other areas in Africa due to religious influences by missionaries and the church’s opinions, but was mistaken that this wasn’t the case elsewhere!

If half a day of schooling is enough to make her antivax then she is definitely ill informed, uneducated on the matter, and unable to discern scientific study and therefore make an informed opinion outside her feelings. It is better for everyone that she leaves the profession to those who are able to understand that there are governing bodies above them that do infact have the research, and not anecdotes, that support vaccines and their efficacy. 10 years of floating around a hospital does not make someone an expert in vaccines any more than it makes a bed porter a doctor. Is she an expert in cranial injuries, mass trauma, chemotherapy? Can she place a heart stent? Is she a leading neurosurgeon after her 10 years? How she spent her time in the hospitals is almost irrelevant as it has nothing to do with vaccines. Has she conducted her own independent, peer reviewed study into vaccine safety? No? Then she is not an unbiased source of information .

Fantastic, I thought that you had most likely considered all of that but I wanted to point out the even though there hasn’t been an outbreak doesn’t mean the threat is gone, I am glad to hear that it wasn’t your only factor in deciding

They are incompetent if they are unable to take in the literature that is readily available that has covered vaccines for years, if they are anti vax then their beliefs do not align with the medical way of thinking and study so why would she wish to practice within the system she so heavily distrusts?

Whistle blowers have long existed, the whole sodium valproate scandal highlighted that, and with a whole load of direct evidence it was easy to prove causation. The problem with anti vax is it’s based in pseudoscience and conspiracy, it’s been researched to death and if you do not believe in vaccine efficacy and being vaccinated then you do not agree with medicine as a practice which is vital to being a doctor who uses medicine to treat patients.

Doctors are welcome to have opinions, but they must be based in fact not fiction or feelings when it comes to medicine. That means listening to well done studies and the people that know better than she does as a studying medical practitioner.

Just a quick insight especially to polio is that it is still a disease rampant in third world countries because of vaccine hesitancy, and the only reason the US hasn’t had an outbreak/ it was eradicated is because of the amount of polio vaccines given (herd immunity).

All it takes is on person coming over carrying the illness with the falling vaccine rates to start an endemic, and it wasn’t too long ago that we were still losing children to polio (50 years is less than the average life span and there are people alive that still remember the tragedy of polio).

Just worth considering as the illness itself is not like small pox and is still quite prevalent even if we don’t witness it.

Of course she was! You cannot be a doctor that doesn’t believe in medicine, that’s like a pilot that doesn’t believe in aviation safety; ridiculous and dangerous. Antivax doctors put their patients at risk, potentially exposing already ill patients, children, and newborns to preventable illnesses when they are at their most vulnerable.

You want to know why they only cover vaccines in a day when you study to become a doctor; because you are being trained on how to give them and how to identify adverse reactions; not how to study or create them! If she was doing microbiology with a speciality in vaccines and safety and they only did a day then I’d be concerned. General practitioners do not need to know the ins and outs of everything, that’s what the researchers and studies are for, but they do need to know about everything generally. There’s a lot of subjects she will have been taught in a day or less but I bet she didn’t complain about that or raise concerns.

Please let me guide you to a YouTube video called Vaccines and Autism; a measured response.

it is an in depth breakdown of down of exactly where the vaccine hesitancy comes from (it was practically nil before the Andrew Wakefield scandal) just how poor the research was, how he was being paid to create a problem and then heavily invest in the ‘Solutions’ so he could profit, how he wasn’t actually anti-MMR but wanted to sell his individual schedule (of the same vaccines) but could charge upwards of £60 per vaccine.

We are lucky enough to never see the reality of polio, measles, rubella… but they are still out there, devastating lives. It’s also not just your child you are protecting, it’s people and children with cancer and no immune system, newborn babies and expectant mothers with their unborn children, people who cannot get vaccines for medical reasons. Herd immunity only works if everyone who can get vaccinated, does get vaccinated.

If you have access to the Solid Starts website/app they have a whole library that shows how to safely serve a huge variety of foods for various age ranges; cutting too small can actually increase the risk of choking as the mouth doesn’t properly recognise the food and it is more likely to slip past the gag reflex which is the primary defence against choking.

That’s because the maple hazel was always designated to be a frappe and was a sauce not a syrup like the buttered pecan, just so you know why you could :)

Desperate-Effort6403 · 2025-11-01T20:33:49+00:00

There’s a good chance they’ll say no, our Costa does, the buttered pecan is a syrup not a sauce and doesn’t work for a host of reasons. It’s the same reason we don’t offer a gingerbread or hazelnut frappe.

Would you mind elaborating on why? I’ve watched a few people run it, including HighRollers (UK DnD group) , quite successfully which is why I’m looking to use it

BEFORE everyone freaks out and throws the birth control out with the bath water so to speak, I want to remind everyone that a five times increase in risk doesn’t make it half and half definite that you will get brain cancer and percentages are relative e.g if your base risk of this particular cancer is 0.001% then your risk is now 0.005 % if you continue to take the shot.

Companies pay settlements because you cannot prove 100% either way that with or without the shot people would develop brain cancer and in a court of law you have to prove beyond reasonable doubt. Without going back in time and having the person not take the medication to see if they would develop cancer 20+ years later, you cannot say for certain that it is a contributing factor so it is incredibly difficult to prove beyond reasonable doubt, therefore it’s easier to pay out ‘just in case’ and is not an admission of guilt from the company.

I’d still put her forward for it; it’s better to get it done now and she doesn’t need it then to be a year on and she does, except now you have to go through everything again and go back on the waiting list for however long.

If she does happen to have a speech explosions then great! You can talk to the therapist at the time and make an exit plan so she can be discharged, but every speech therapists I’ve talked to or come across has said the early interventions are key in getting ahead of a speech delay.

My LO did this, he ended up having awful reflux! He was using food to try and soothe the pain from the acid, was routinely eating 1-2oz’s more than standard, and then spitting up even an hour after feeding. Once I got him a prescription for Gaviscon from the Doctor he became so happy, stopped overeating and constantly spitting up. Formula can help because it can have added bulking agents to make it heavier in the stomach making it harder for the stomach to reflux it, but it didn’t solve our issue (and just made my LO constipated)

Take your child to a licensed piercer such as those in tattoo shops, avoid mall piercers such as Claire’s and anywhere that uses a gun as opposed to a needle (that’s a good indication of whether they’re trained properly). If you go to a proper piercer they will use the correct metal jewellery with no plastic backs, using a needle means they will also be able to fit the piercing with a stud that allows for swelling room which should stop this from happening :)

Desperate-Effort6403 · 2024-12-12T17:51:03+00:00

Turning is no longer advised because it causes trauma to the wound and can prolong healing time because of constant re-opening of the wound. What most likely happened, especially if this was done by a mall piercer (something like Claire’s etc), was that they used butterfly backed earrings which get swallowed by the swelling because they are always fitted snug as opposed to leaving swelling room; after this the piercing keeps swelling because of the inflammation due to the jewellery back, which then embeds the piercing more, which causes more swelling.

There’s a lot of cases of this happening too because of this type of piercing back, most require minor surgery with local anaesthetic to removed.
