Maybe you remember measles parties, but not the measles wards in hospitals, where people with their brain smashed by encephalitis were kept. In that case, maybe you would have gotten a better picture. Kids also were dying more frequently in the past, and that was not as big an issue as today, because it was not avoidable at best and anyway there were many more kids per family than today.

I was vaccinated (my choice at 18) and survived an infection. I lived with people with measles and was ok all the time. I don't see having the virus spreading to my lungs, eyes, skin and brain as a better option. And I've seen the effects, you don't want to try them.

Thank you, they recovered quite well, but only them can tell how they felt for almost a week, and I suspect also a reduction in the immune response for some time in the child (he was a little more than 1 year old at the time). Actually, the child couldn't tell how he felt, but you could see it in his face.
Luckily the haven't developed any side effect, which as was told are not so uncommon.

This year my wife mysteriously got measles (in Italy). She hadn't been vaccinated because when we were young the vaccine was not available. BUT our youngest child got it, too, because he was at the time younger than the age at which you get the shot.

I don't tell you the trouble of having a diagnosis, since the disease is so uncommon today, that after two visits, my wife finally diagnosed it herself on wikipedia (sic). And the trouble of telling all the authorities, which needed to find the lost protocols for such an infection.

To sum it up: the studies linking the shot with autism were done by an UK professor, who has been on trial for telling false results to help his own company.
When you don't get the shot and you are healthy, you're just selfishly exploiting the fact that most of "other people" will get the shot and you will be protected. BUT measles IS dangerous, and some people won't have your choice, because they are too young or too unhealthy to get that shot. They will risk severe damages by the disease, so PLEASE don't be a wimp and kindly get vaccinated.

In that novel, smart children are raised in military academies, which test their skills by having them play "virtual" games against the enemy alien race, only to know that the advanced levels are not as virtual as they are said to be.

Thank you, I'm Italian and the report given in the pbs article is way too rough. Just getting some buzz-words from a speak and stitching them together can make it say anything you want.
The catholicnewsagency translation is right.

The pope didn't say that the internet is dividing nations, but that digital divide is exacerbating distances between wealthy and poor ones.
And he said that the internet can lead the single person to be left alone because he/she doesn't think like the majority, without looking at his/her face and seeing he/she is a real person.

I was in California (Davis) at the time, and /. gave me good news, interesting thoughts, and showed a brand pre-pre-pre blogging way of handling news.

In 9/11/2001, you showed to the world how a good community site could be able to support a world which was trembling that day, and you gave a very interesting recount on how you did it.

Plus, you've always had a bigger, fatter pipe than everyone else!

Thank you again for still being here, and always getting better.
