Yes, I do. Along with several others for polio, tetanus, and TB. In my adult life I was further scarred by shots for Cholera, Yellow Fever, Tetanus boosters, Rabies, Influenza, Haepatitis, Typhoid Fever,.....and I have never had any of the above. I was exposed to numerous diseases as a child (Chicken Pox, Mumps, Measles, etc), caught them all, and now have a lifelong immunity. As a farmkid, I was exposed to all sorts of germs, never drank chlorinated water, drank unpasturized milk, drank well water from the earth, never used hand sanitizer or other anti-bacterial agents, uh,....yup,...my body has been exposed to many microscopic life-forms and has learned (either naturally or through deliberate exposure) to deal with them.
Thanks to vaccination, smallpox is now "extinct" (although it is somewhat presumtuous to title any RNA-based virus as "extinct"). I cannot in my lifetime remember anyone contracting poliomelytis,....but I have met many who were crippled by the disease prior to the vaccine.
I personally am thankful that against the "tough" diseases I was exposed to "dead" pathogens allowing my immune system to recognize the denizen. Granted, the "live" pathogen" would have allowed me the same opportunity,....but there is a difference between seeing a Hells Angel in a picture as he lay in a coffin as opposed to spilling a beer over a live one in a bar!
However, a person's life is a person's life and which aspects of medical advances one chooses to accept is up to them,....unless it affects my basic health,.....ya hear me Typhoid Mary?
1. I hope you had a license when you were out hunting it down. 2. I hope you tagged it properly after you killed it. 3. I hope you made full use of the carcass once called love. 4. I hope you were not out simply trophy hunting for love. 5. Don't worry, I swear also,......just make sure there are no little ones around when you curse!
Since the F-22 Raptor is unavailable to anyone BUT the USA, might as well replace our present airforce with the same, but upgarded to Boeing F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. The F18 is probably the best "general" fighter jet for a country unable to afford numerous and different jets to meet specific jobs! And the Super Hornet certainly is a very capable fighter jet. If we really wanted to annoy the US we could get the very scrappy yet excellent long-range Sukhoi Su-27 from Russia.
I try to keep an open mind to all possibilities within any given field of science, realizing that in todays' information age there does certainly exist a great deal of valuable information along with a great deal of totally useless (and in some cases, harmful) information. At present, when I have felt truly ill, I have relied on conventional medicine.

I am thinking that the inflow of quarters appears to be relatively steady,.....lol.....but nothing from me today,....no sir! I am also thinking that I had better get back to work!
LOL! Geezuz H. Christ where are my albums?,...April,Wine is running around playing all sorts of small towns these days,....just like the Headpins,....and,...this is why i LOVE TO LIVE IN SMALL TOWNS!!!
If, as a species, and we survive the evolutionary lottery, then we must face the fact that Sol, our sun, and central definition of our solar system,.....will die,....then we gotta move it or lose it! Then again,...ain't gonna be a majopr adjustment in solar intensity for a few million years, and humnanity appears to be doomed in the next few millenium,...uh,,,centuries,...uhh
Really,....Homo Sapiens "RULE" upon this plant is short,....sauropods ruled far long and lost,....and,...uh....what was the question again? LOL!
NOPE! Too expensive~ Maybe, just maybe,...Mars! But really,...we over-estimate our capability as as a species,....we ain't all that much in the universe.
And as Canadians we sit calmly north of our American brothers and sisters to the south,....smiling,.....wondering where in the hell the Stanley Cup went to,....waiting for the arctic ice-pack to melt,....to flood us all via Hudson Bay,....to force us to breathe underwater,...
Here be a solid whiskey-drinkin', hell-raisin', Canuck who tangled up with a southern USA choir-boy type dude,....damn,.....so sweet to be neighbours!!!
