From the bottom video by Hans Rosling:
The number of children is not growing any longer in the world. We are still debating peak oil, but we have definitely reached peak child.
The number one factor for this to have happened was the decline in infant mortality which was due in largest part to Immunizations !

GUNMEN on motorcycles sprayed a van carrying employees from a community centre with bullets, killing five female teachers and two aid workers, but sparing a child they took out of the vehicle before opening fire.
The director of the group that the seven worked for says he suspects it may have been the latest in a series of attacks targeting anti-polio efforts in Pakistan. Some militants oppose the vaccination campaigns, accusing health workers of acting as spies for the US and alleging the vaccine is intended to make Muslim children sterile.

Well one thing is for sure. It is not due to the shot giving you an infection of the flu. Not enough time between injection and onset of symptoms.
Sucks though no matter what has hit you.
Get well soon Locker
oh and
YER GUNNA DIE!

Immunizations are the current rage in Pakistan.

Aristides has all his shots up to date and even got a flu shot. I have never been afraid of immunizations and... I am sure my husband who deeply loves his son and knows medicine will not risk his own kid. I think people afraid of immunizations are ignorant, have never seen the diseases the kids are being protected from, really have no clue what to really be afraid of. I honestly want to send each one of them to parts of the world where these "scary" immunizations are not practiced. I bet they will change their opinions.

Feel better Locker.
I have a lot of friends who are SICK right now. Sick. As. Dogs.
Every one of them (except you) did not get their flu shot. It takes two weeks for the immunization to take effect which can be a long time with a lot of carriers around.

2012 ends with fewest wild polio cases ever: The year ended with the fewest children paralyzed by wild polio virus, in the fewest places, in history. Two hundred and eighteen wild polio cases have been reported so far for 2012 – a greater than 60% reduction from 2011. Over the year, through the tireless dedication of the on-the-ground heroes of polio eradication, more than 2 billion doses of vaccine were distributed to 429 million children around the world.

This threads way to benign, stop agreeing. Where's Klimmer?

“Melanie’s Marvelous Measles” was written to:
Educate children on the benefits of having measles and how you can heal from them naturally and successfully. Often today, we are being bombarded with messages from vested interests to fear all diseases in order for someone to sell some potion or vaccine, when, in fact, history shows that in industrialized countries, these diseases are quite benign and, according to natural health sources, beneficial to the body. Having raised three children vaccine-free and childhood disease-free, I have experienced many times when my children’s vaccinated peers succumb to the childhood diseases they were vaccinated against.

That book by an Australian author just proves that not all the nut jobs are in America.
I had measles as a kid in the days before vaccines and was in a darkened room with a high fever for two weeks, unable to read or do anything. I also had mumps and chickenpox, all preventable nowadays. All of them were serious diseases.
What is so disgusting about these anti vacination advocates is their selfishness in relying on other people to vaccinate their children in sufficient numbers that there will be no outbreaks and their kids will remain healthy without vaccines. To me it's an antisocial pathology.
