Shots == GOOD!

Liz recently featured graphic evidence for why vaccinations are a must-have for children. I didn't have the courage to actually watch the video, but if the text description is even close, I can only say that if my kid started to make noises like that there'd be one of those Road Runner-like flaming trails from my driveway to the emergency room.

Ours got her shots on schedule, BTW.

Thanks Scott -- but it isn't just kids who need a booster for pertussis. Immunity wears off in 5-10 years, so adults need to be re-vaccinated regularly, to reduce transmission to vulnerable infants.

I've actually only been able to watch the video 1/2 through-- it makes me cry.

And here I was thinking about alcohol. I guess if I was going to start doing shots, it'd either be an original Lemon Drop (not that damn flavored vodak, either. Grey Goose, dammit), a Buttery Nipple, or maybe a nice smooth tequila with a lime wedge.
