But all in all I am *very* thankful that my children got Chickenpox the old-fashioned way. I've been reading up on the virus and the vaccination after being throughly disappointed by it's failure to work in Sammy (and Mo's boy Will), not to mention the boys getting sick two weeks apart.
From what I'm read, it seems like the vax merely delays the inevitable. Chickenpox/Shingles is a strong virus that keeps coming back, in many forms, and unless your body has naturally created it's immunity (ie getting the Chickenpox) you will need to keep getting vaccinated and vaccinated for Varicella (Chickenpox/Shingles). Isn't that convenient for the drug manufacturers? Seems people who have received the Varicella vaccination are *more* likely to *get* Shingles, and get them younger. Boo.

I am not sure where you stand on this, but I am pretty sure the vaccine is made from aborted babies too. MAJOR boo! ;-) Wishing we could come over for a Pox party!
I hadn't heard that, but that is sick. :p
I wish I could host a Pox party! There is plenty to go around apparently. I have had someone ask me to send a licked lollipop in the mail! mmmm...
