@survivalistboards: Pertussis is definitely one of them, along with H.flu and others. I had such a hard time assigning a final one, that I lumped them into all the respiratory infections. Pertussis is especially dangerous with infants and small children. Tiny airway = rapid criticality.

When I was in the UK reserve forces (back in the Cold War) expected to be called up for home defence in the event of war, we had to get typhoid and cholera shots regularly. Do you believe this is a good idea?

@kalliste23 The typhoid vaccine has a kinda iffy track record, even among vaccination advocates, as does the cholera vaccine. I am not a fan of them personally, but each person has to come to that conclusion for himself.

@ThePatriotNurse thanks for the reply. I guess I was young enough that they weren’t a real bother to me, I don’t recall any significant undue effects, though IIRC correctly the typhoid shot left you with a very sore arm for a day or two.

This was in the time when it was anticipated that a Soviet nuclear strike, or strikes, might devastate the UK and Europe and soldiers would be operating in a post nuclear wasteland. Hopefully that’s behind us now…

telling the truth does not make you a racists, I like your videos keep posting more, maybe sucking chest wounds, how to suture a major cut, heat/cold exposure….

I think you just replaced the AMA, CDC, and WHO.
Who needs them, with you around?

You know, I think something people should realize is that prevention goes a long way. Having a good food supply with excellent nutrition, drinking plenty of water, getting rest, getting sun, exercise, and keeping yourself and your environment clean. That goes a long way to preventing disease. Clean water/sanitation/hygiene.

People like to buy 20 guns to be prepared…sell some, buy water filters and things for nutrition and hygiene too.

hep can also be a “side effect” of getting the anthrax “vaccine”, so who knows if we are more susceptible to it then your average person. just something for people in the US mil to think about

Thank you for these videos. I wondered if you had any thoughts to share on the effectiveness (or non-effectiveness) of a “Steri Pen” or similar type UV light treatment on suspect contaminated water that would likely contain these diseases? I dont own a “steri-pen”, but I keep thinking of it for a SHTF situation for “cleaner” drinking water.

CBRNE training was provided to our regiment with my State Defense Force by one of our members who also worked with DHS. Biologicals of concern that we were told to expect to see make a comeback were: 1. Cholera, 2. Small Pox 3.Bubonic Plague 4.Typhus 5.Yellow Fever, 6.Hantavirus, 7. Malaria, 8.dysentery 9. Dengue (in FL now) various other hemorrhagic fevers…just for openers. *I would add tetanus and various forms of food “poisoning” to the list as people have forgotten how to store food.*

Vector borne pathogens will again become a major issue due to poor sanitation and in the absence of the vector control measures we currently enjoy. Any way you look at it…we are in for a bumpy ride and those romanticizing this need to wake up and smell the coffee. Sanitation, hygiene, proper food storage and prep will save a lot of lives. TIP: Prevent scurvy. Make tea from green pine needles for vitamin C. Rose hips are better but not as abundant.

@a2eric1 I don’t know about the pens, but unless you are planning to “bug out” something useful to have IMO is a gasket free (no need to replace) pressure canner. Not only will it allow you to preserve food, but you can use it to sterilize water thoroughly … 15min @ 15# of pressure 160+ degrees kills everything including bacterial endospores. Good pressure canners can reach approx. 240 degrees. Simply boiling may not be enough to eradicate endospores.

What about hepatitis vaccinations? Effective?

Comment on 5 Diseases that will Explode WSHTF by ThePatriotNurse

ThePatriotNurse — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 01:34:53 +0000

@immikeurnot I am not a fan of vaccines in general. Hepatitis A gives you immunity for life when you get over it. However, Hepatitis B is a different story– it is CHRONIC once you get it (blood borne pathogen btw). Hepatitis B is a significant threat to me as a healthcare worker. So that is one that I am open to considering. However, I am VEHEMENTLY against infant vaccination under 2 years old. And the Hep B vaccine is what hospitals give the kids at 2 days old– nuts.

@ThePatriotNurse So it wouldn’t be a bad idea for me to get vaccinated against them…?
