Mumps?!?

Unlike some disorders, reactive arthritis and other forms of arthritis triggered by infectious agents including vaccines, is a well known phenomenon and the link is well established.

There are a few people on this board with serious inflammatory arthritis. Ask them how "treatable" it is.

IMVHO, from a medical ethics standpoint, indiscriminate vaccination is no different from indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Some lives will be prolonged and others will be shortened. Some lives will be improved and others will be impaired. Public health will be improved in some respects and harmed in others. The line that needs to be drawn is very fuzzy indeed, but I can't agree that no line needs to be drawn.
