" While you've heard of chicken -- parties I never personally went to one but I guess they existed -- kids when parents deliberately expose their kids the virus so that they could capture the build up an immunity on them."

" I had a mom's party with my sister and -- didn't doctor made her kiss me so I we get the moments. Just. I got my sister went on to -- on me. Don't give the company I think they -- back in their fifties and sixties now there's word that some parents are organizing each one in one. Parties exposing their kids to the virus on purpose good idea bad idea yet what doctor David fanatic."

" I don't rubber chicken -- killing anyone when I was a kid. Each flooding -- one much different story over thirty kids have died in 2009. TVH one and one what parent and the right mines. Would purposely expose their child. To the virus --"

" It's a it's a big mistake because we know exactly as you mentioned that pitched one and one. Flu virus is completely different than chickenpox this virus behaves differently. We know that it's a mild virus -- majority of the patients recover very fairly well from this but there could be some serious illness. And -- even 20000 hospitals there's at home this over a thousand dead. 46 states have actually reported that woman wants so. To take a chance to put your healthy truck through this it's a big mistake the other point Julie is that different kids. React different to this virus right so it's unpredictable."

" here's -- some parents somehow think that the -- side effects associated with the virus. Are not as severe as the potential danger of the shots the vaccine can you don't disabuse that what."

" That's that's a myth because we know this side effects of these vaccinations are really -- you know you may get some redness on the injection site. But actually a side effect of the virus is is terrible you know we -- present from the spectrum of my. To sit here and this this is what I think I think that parents are taking your big chance this is it Russian roulette game. Without knowing exactly what they're getting themselves into I think they get a lot more than what they're asking for so yeah it's against the W actual recommendation. And the position condemned."

" President Obama just in the past couple days declared a national emergency he is trying to beat this although the vaccines aren't even out there yet. It could talk about the potential pandemic this could become the people start holding these H1N1 party's yeah you're probably gonna be spreading it to the people in the party that you're going to expose others because once you. Catch the virus and then you eventually send your kids out of the public all they have to do is cough. He's talked to another child and then they spread it to their families and then."

" That's a very critical point because this can go from human to human he can really have a serious. Pandemic what we need is not so much -- parties -- be flu vaccinations. There's about eleven million of them out there there's going to be another fifty million by mid November. Hopefully another 150 million by mid December and that's a very very good point because it can spread rapidly. If we don't start protecting our kids. We've had watched we will -- protected because we -- have -- too -- by December when the final dozens or even January could be doctor Davis money thanks so much for being a little."
