Mumps- yes, the mumps. NHL (hockey) has a league wide Mumps outbreak

8. Your "concept" is false, equating vaccines to antibiotics - does not work

"vaccines against viruses may be going the way of antibiotics"

Completely unrelated, completely false to think that.

While we're on the subject of viral illnesses - there is no "cure" for the common cold virus either - no matter what they might try to sell you on tee-vee


You can’t beat the common cold, and that’s a fact

For those of us dedicated to supporting science-based medicine and fighting the ever-widening reach of sCAM, pseudoscience, and health fraud, finding a new woo-filled claim or a dangerous, evidence-lacking trend to write about is relatively easy.

Many of us may not realize, however, that some of the most commonly used and recommended treatments, one of which at least is probably sitting in your medicine cabinet as you read this, is equally devoid of evidence to support its use.

Every drug store has row upon row of medicines designed to treat or prevent an acute upper respiratory tract infection, otherwise known as the common cold. Despite this, very few are able to live up to their promise.

In most cases, particularly where children are concerned, the side effects of these medicines can be worse than the symptoms they are intended to treat.
