    The kids lives are in jeopardy. They're getting killed off by the millions by disease, and now these vaccinations will save the lives of many of them.

    Do you guys know how many billion dollars are being donated to the relief fund? I'm happy attention is being paid to other things instead of just getting dwarfed by headlines.

    Saving the lives, only to let them live on with the knowledge that every one of their family members is diseased.

    How incredibly optimistic of you.

    It's as if these children aren't allowed to be helped?

    Ofcourse they are, but I fear that just with help programs in the past, the focus will shift from rebuilding to giving purely medicinal help. Wich, while making sure they live, might not help them in the long run.

    You can't tell me that doing nothing for these kids is helping them more than giving them vaccinations. The whole point of this is to get them medicinal help, nothing to do with a rebuilding process. I think you've got this and the tsunami relief fund mixed.

    I know the percentage of severe side effects or deaths from vaccines isnt high, but it's still enough to make some parents protest.

    Honestly, not to be harsh, I would've rather seen Bill's 750 go towards the Tsunami victims.

    But still, a nice deed. Hopefully he gets something done with his donation :). [/b][/quote]
    not being direspectful to tsunami vistims but i think enough has been donated for the time being. I mean peoples generousity has been amazing. i mean some 3 hour telethon in Australia racked up 15 million. And thats alot in Australia considering theres only 20 million people.

    Well said.

    People are allowed to donate to other causes, even if there's some huge disaster. The fact that a tsunami hit asia/africa shouldn't mean all other problems should be put on hold.
