    Medical What is the evidence in support of the anti-vaccine movement?

    DanP. Thank you for the reply and the enthusiasm for your forums. I have no issue, nor have I had an issue with waiting for a former moderator's reply.

    Medical What is the evidence in support of the anti-vaccine movement?

    russ I hear you. I looked up Moonbear's profile a while ago. That's why I asked Moonbear the questions that I did. Second, since this site has a responsible person/party that may care about the quality of their product,I should think it is reasonable to express disappointment in a public...

    Medical What is the evidence in support of the anti-vaccine movement?

    DanP I am very well aware of the no-diagnosis disclaimer. You misunderstood my post and I regret that for obviously I wasn't clear. Also, feelings of disappointment can certainly be mended when properly addressed. Adults clear things up and move on. I await Moonbear's (identified as a...

    Medical What is the evidence in support of the anti-vaccine movement?

    I question the wisdom of a medical science forum on physicsforums.com without an MD or DVM moderator when public health subjects are discussed. Actually, I'm rather disappointed. Perhaps I've misunderstood the nature of this forum.

    Medical What is the evidence in support of the anti-vaccine movement?

    "There is still a possibility of a connection between vaccines and autism, but it is not a causational one."~Moonbear If you have a plausible scientific rationale or science based evidence for this assertion I would appreciate a citation as I can't find one. "I don't think there's a...

    What does sustainable harvest mean to you?

    Thanks for the insight/experiences. Sustainable obviously isn't a universally agreed upon definition which supports my original suspicion that the word, as it was used, is almost meaningless if not stupid. :-j

    What does sustainable harvest mean to you?

    So, if I am reading this right, sounds like "sustainable harvest" as it relates to biological management practices refers to the concept that taking a few, carefully selected animals (ie males of a certain age) does not affect the current status of the population of that species. Rather than...

    What does sustainable harvest mean to you?

    Regarding: wildlife management, calling all biologists... I'm having difficulty completely understanding the term "sustainable harvest" as it pertains to wildlife management. Specifically, I question whether the word "sustainable" in State Fish & Game parlance is rather more of a political...

    Medical Question about blood transfusion

    From the OP: "What about people who need a blood transfusion by week?" Folks who have thalassemias (heritable blood disorders) needing frequent transfusions are indeed at risk (and carefully monitored) for iron overload which can be damaging to organs (heart, liver, etc.). A little...

    Describe the world in the year 3000

    With any luck, single folks with companion animals will be able to claim the "Head of the Household" deduction on their IRS return and furthermore, the NHL will be the number one sport in the solar system. I apologize for the humor (yeah, that was meant to be humorous). I can't fathom a...

    What is the real point of Intro Physics?

    "Wasn't this issue pretty much why Feynman came out with his lecture notes, because people who get excited about physics as a career end up somewhat bored by the intro stuff? I remember hearing that somewhere?" All I can add to this is that I believe it was Feynman who said college physics...

    Medical Consequenses of striking a Vein and an artery?

    Is duality inherent in perception?

    octelcogopod: You may want to check out the discipline/method/philosophy that is called phenomenology. It's a legit philosophy (though some are thrown off by the name) and it's also one of the more difficult ones to understand, imo, ime. There are a few universities that have courses in it...
