sorry but that doesn't make sense...many people that are vaccinated are not immuno-suppressed.Vaccinations create immunities(antibodies) against disease.Why do you think it is recommended that sick people or dogs not be vaccinated? Becuase you don't introduce a small fraction of the disease to someone who is ill as it could cause the person to have a full blown illness..People that are immno-suppressed are people that are ill(not just HIV), stressed, pre-mature infants, you get the picture..their bodies cannot fight off normal pathogens..as mentioned..pseudomonas aregenosa and mycoplamsa(I think it can cause pneumonia) are a problem in hospitals where immuno-suppressed patients are treated...again..not a problem if you are healthy. If you were to take a soil sample in your yard you would find most of these micro-organisms, things like Blasto, histo, psedomonas, mycoplasma,the micro-organism that causes valley fever etc..all of which prey on immuno-suppressed people or animals..we do not live in a sterile world..just need to excercise common sense about antibiotics, tests,etc. C.Grainger > [Original Message] > From: <Erynbrook1@xxxxxxx> > To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Date: 12/27/2004 10:27:49 AM > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: : MYCOPLASMA, AGAIN-now vaccinations > > In a message dated 12/27/2004 9:15:58 AM Mountain Standard Time, > Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx writes: > > There is NO dog (or human for that matter) that is never going to have > > some > > compromise to its immune system.
