Is there any risk to a healthy child with vaccines being around healthy unvaccinated children?NO!Healthy children NEVER pose any risk from infectious diseases to anyone.Sick children, whether vaccinated or not, may infect others in some diseases in certain circumstances.Ironically, vaccinated children against the Measles, may become infected with Measles FROM THE VACCINE, and then transmit the virus to others. Some studies reporting on this below. Therefore, vaccinated children are a greater risk in a day-care/school setting, than the few unvaccinated, healthy children. That’s where the science ends.When attempting to ban children from school if they’re not vaccinated - that’s where the politics starts.1.

I think the issue is misunderstood.Eastern Slope of Western Ghats is in TN majorly and Western Slope is in Kerala majorly.The issue was about Mullai Periyar. It is a Peculiar dam. It stops the flow of the river western wards and redirect the water through Tunnels eastern wards to TN. TN Govt always said that the real threat for Kerala is Idukki Dam. Idukki is Gigantic with a capacity of 75 TMC vs Mullai Periyar 11.6 TMC ( at 142 feet ).Original height of Mullai Periyar was 152 feet. But, due to concerns from Kerala it was reduced further and further from 1980s. It was kept at 132 feet for a long time. TN won its side in Supreme Court to store water up to 142 feet after several rounds of inspection by Technical Committee.After all these rain, Mullai Periyar just now got filled as its Catchment area is very small compared to Idukki Dam. Kerala CM requested TN to reduce the level 139 feet and divert water to TN in the wake of flood. Now, TN Govt got into dilemma. If it reduce the level suddenly, it may carry a wrong message or more worse create Panic in Kerala. So, it was hesitant. But, after talks TN agreed to divert flood water into TN.And about other basins, Water from Upper Kerala i.e. Nilgiris ( Kabini Basin ) enters into TN through Karnataka. Cauvery is at its brim now. Karnataka opened its KRS surplus too. As of now, more than Two lakhs cusecs are flowing in Cauvery in TN ( Surplus water from KA + flood water from Kerala + flood water from Bhavani ). Low lying regions of Six districts are in alert now.Same case with Bhavani too. Bhavani merges with Cauvery. Tamirabharani is also running in full Brim. Almost 90% of the dams in TN are in full Capacity now.As of now, there is no big rain in Coastal regions of TN. But, there is a forecast. If it is going to be big, TN will face heavy floods. Now, TN Govt has put its dept in high alert.Cauvery floods: Districts put on alertKanniyakumari,TN is under floods now as it is also bearing the brunt of heavy rain.TN and Kerala can’t survive without one another practically. News from Kerala is really heart breaking. TN is ready to help Kerala in all possible ways.Update :It is very unfortunate that in this situation, unnecessary political blame game is going on. Lots of lies and rumors are circulating. Some has misunderstood the issue itself ( I don’t know whether this is happening intentionally or unintentionally ).I have added the sequences step by step. It will help to get to a clear understanding.On Aug 10, due to heavy rain, all 5 shutters of Cheruthoni Dam was opened by Kerala. Combining with the heavy downpour, Flood caused in the downstream.On Aug 14, Mullai Periyar reached 139 feet. It was expected that by Aug 15, it will be filled due to heavy rain in catchment area. ( Mullai Periyar prevented nearly 15,000 cusecs reaching Idukki Dam. So, helped reducing damages. )Honourable CM of Kerala wrote to TN CM asking to release water to Kerala side in small volumes and in gradual manner. So, that there won’t be any need for release of huge volume of water once it reached 142 feet. ( The letter is not about the safety of the dam. Kerala CM wanted to release water in controllable manner and keep a cushion of 3 feet. So that Mullai Periyar can help regulate )"Because of the heavy rainfall in the state, the water levels at the Mullaperiyar dam has reached 142 feet. When water is suddenly released from 142 feet, there are chances that it will create a lot of damages. So more water needs to be released in an effective manner. Therefore, the water level in the dam should be controlled, taking into consideration, the safety of the dam," CM Pinarayi Vijayan said.Kerala CM writes to TN CM on Mullaperiyar dam, says water level should be brought downOn Aug 16, TN CM wrote back to Kerala CM saying that flood water is diverted to Vaigai Basin, Tamil Nadu side, to the maximum extent possible through tunnel. So, that Kerala side will receive less flood water ( I personally felt the letter would have been written better avoiding unnecessary things. TN CM would have directly called and sorted out it and may brought down water level to 139 feet. It would have given a Psychological relief to Kerala people. )Then things were sorted out between both the CMs with the help of HMO. Case was filed in Supreme Court and Media blown the issue out of proportion.1600 cusecs ( maximum capacity of the tunnel ) were withdrawn from the dam to TN side and an additional 700 cusecs through forebay dam.Rest of the inflow is sent down to Idukki to maintain 139 feet.Third time in 4 yrs, Mullaperiyar reservoir reaches full capacityI feel very bad how wrong information can spread hatred and rumors. In this situation both the states should work together not allowing petty politics to take place.Update 2 :Kerala said in SC that Mullai Periyar was the reason for floods. I feel that the statement is not only against facts but also paining ( and also irresponsible creating enmity between people of the two states ).Kerala State Disaster Management Authority - KSDMA has updated Dams level on hour by hour basis.Flood started in August 10 itself. Kerala Govt asked TN to open Mullai Periyar on 14 Aug. TN refused and opened it only on Aug 15 2:30 AM. But, there was flood even before TN opened Mullai Periyar dam.Flood Situation Update by Honorable CM Pinarayi Vijayan on Aug 10th.Flood alert due to opening of Cheruthoni Dam on Aug 9th & 10th.Dam flow status of Idumalayar, Idukki, Mullai Periyar Dams15th Aug750 cumecs = 26,500 cusecs approx.700 cumecs = 24,500 cusecs approx.Mullaperiyar was not opened yet. 2200 cusecs discharge is the water withdrawal through tunnel to Vaigai Basin.Mullai Periyar opened at 15th August 2:30 AM127.42 cumecs = 4489 CusecsDischarge -> Vaigai Basin. Surplus -> Idukki Dam.9113 cusecs = 258 cumecsSurplus from Mullai Periyar to Idukki was reduced to 3330 cusecs ( 94 cumecs ). Inflow itself went down as rain receded in Mullai periyar Catchment area.At the same time, Idumalayar and Idukki were opened.Idumalayar +Idukki = 2500 cumecs = 88000 cusecs. Adding other small dams spill, the flood would have easily crossed 1,00,000 cusecs. This is what caused flood.This update is not to say that you are wrong, we are correct. This is not the time for that. This is just to clarify the facts. Once hatred is sown, it cannot be easily uprooted. Let’s throw away these silly political games. We, people should stand together in this situation.Hope Kerala people will understand.

Well, the answer betrays the extent to which I can be a bit obsessive.I liked the Beatles as a little kid, but between the ages of around 8 and 24 or so, I stopped listening to them because I was getting interested in music generally.Then in the mid 90s I read Ian Macdonald’s seminal Beatles book Revolution in the Head: The Beatles’ Records and the Sixties, and became fascinated with them, and bought all their CDs.So that’s:Please Please MeWith the BeatlesA Hard Day’s NightBeatles for SaleHelp!Rubber SoulRevolverSgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club BandMagical Mystery TourThe Beatles (the White Album)Yellow SubmarineLet It BeAbbey RoadPast Masters Vols. 1 &2A total of fifteen. These are generally known within Beatle lore as the ‘1987 masters’, because they were the first issues of the Beatles’ catalogue on CD.But then, some years later, they remastered their catalogue in Stereo and brought them all out in new editions.And I bought them too.But I didn’t throw away my copies of the 1987 masters, because, you see, I wanted, in my rather deluded mind, to ‘compare’ them.So that’s thirty.Then, I also bought the three volumes of Anthology and also Live at the BBC.So that’s thirty-four.But on top of that, I became interested in the fact that the Beatles themselves only oversaw the mono mixes of their albums, not the stereo ones. So I bought the Beatles in Mono boxed set, which contains:Please Please MeWith the BeatlesA Hard Day's NightBeatles for SaleHelp!Rubber SoulRevolverSgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club BandMagical Mystery TourThe BeatlesMono MastersSo that’s a total of forty-five. In fairness to me, the mono versions are the versions of the songs that I prefer to listen to under most circumstances, with a few exceptions.Oh, and also Let It Be…Naked, because no collection is complete without it, and also Love, the remix album, because the same reason. So that’s forty-seven.Yeah, but then…there are the bootlegs.It so happens that I also own copies of various bootleg releases. Looking at my iPod I was rather startled to realise that I’ve never actually listened to some of them. But I have:Hollywood Bowl 18 Aug 1964Hollywood Bowl 30 Aug 1965Shea Stadium 15 Aug 1965 (assuming this to be the soundtrack of the film, it’s not really all that live)The Beatles Christmas RecordsIt’s Not Too Bad - The Making of Strawberry Fields ForeverCandlestick Park 29 Aug 1966Get Back - The Glyn Johns VersionThe Complete Beatles at the BBC (9 discs)Rooftop Concert 1969Also, vinyl copies of Rubber Soul and Sgt Pepper which my mother-in-law gave me, and which hang on the wall of my living room in frames, because I don’t own a record player.So that’s a total of sixty Beatles albums. Including more or less pointless duplicates.Which is odd when you consider that they only released fourteen regular albums in the first place.
