Vacca means cow.
I have been vaccinated too.
Unfortunately my children are both damaged for life from vaccines.
Errr ummm sometimes I wish I didn't say anything in the first place...
In my mind what you believe is the same as reality, so I mean it when I say that I am sorry that you think that.
Who am I to tell you otherwise?
I am not sure this is the same for everyone, but issues like this seem to effect my 'lizard' brain as in I act (in this case write) instinctively without thinking things through.
The reason that I asked the question about the Latin word for cow, was because I was reading about a completely unrelated subject and discovered that it was Vacca.
This somehow triggered a connection in my head between the words Vacca and Vaccination, and a childhood memory of being 'herded' into the sports hall for my BCG skin test.
I was and probably still am quite disobedient, but I can clearly remember that I wanted to have it, even though I was deeply suspicious.
Anyway I should have remembered to look up the word (it's etymology) rather than jumping to the conclusion that it had anything to do with 'behaviour' I now understand:
"Vaccine"
late 18th century: from Latin
vaccinus, from
vacca ‘cow’ (because of the early use of the cowpox virus against smallpox)
Just to be clear I had jumped to the conclusion that Vaccine meant something like: "of Cows' maybe a bit like the word 'Bovine'.
I then thought about man's relationship with cattle and also 'herd' behaviour in general.
Which I coincidentally been doing a lot of thinking about at the time:
Sensory Deprivation and UFOs
I should have also read the previous posts in this thread before chiming in.
There is one quick way to make yourself look foolish, that is to comment on things you do not really understand, I am sorry for any upset or disrespect my ignorance of your situation caused.
It is easy for me to give an honest answer about if I or my family would get Vaccinated and that is yes. But when it comes to other people it raises extraordinarily difficult questions, Do I want everyone to be immunised? yes. Should they have a choice? no/yes/probably, I don't know. I can't truthfully answer because I am torn between my belief in choice and my belief in medicine. I feel able to make that choice for myself, but not for anyone else.
Would I trust the 'state' in such matters? 5/10
would I trust a Doctor (medical advice) 9/10
Would I trust a combination of the two 7/10
I am basing this on where I live and my personal experience of medicine/medical treatment.
Best wishes
