I would disagree. I had my daughter vaccinated and she later had an extreme case of chicken pox. In her mouth and throat, private areas..everywhere imaginable. It definitely lasted much longer than a few days and she has scars from some of the lesions on her back and shoulders. The vaccine was totally ineffective in my opinion.

my vaccinated daughter has a very mild case of pox right now. no fever or lesions, but rather itchy bumps. while this is great for now, rather than dealing with full blown chickenpox, i worry that her immunity will not be as complete, and she may run the danger of full blown pox when she’s older, which is much more serious.

I think this article is skipping something very important. Like shingles! You get chicken pox the first time, but if you contract the virus again, you can get shingles. One of my friends cousins got shingles at nine years old, because he had got the vaccination as a baby. Nine years olds should not have shingles, it’s a lot worse than the chicken pox. We are over vaccinating our children, and it’s just making us less healthy and paranoid. I got the cervical cancer shots last year, and my immune system has been damaged by it. I used to get sick once a year. ONCE. I never throw up, and I’m generally just very healthy. I got that shot, and I got sick five times since (in one year), and have been feeling nauseous lately. Not a fun feeling.
