DON'T
DON'T DO
DON'T DO AWAY WITH THE POLISH DOGS.
DOGS.
DOGS. LIKE THE TWO HOTTEST THINGS
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. >> MEANWHILE, DR. MEAD IS HERE
STANDING BY WITH THE LADIES.
>> THANK YOU, GUYS.
THIS ISRAL IMPORTANT STORY SO I
WANT PEOPLE TO JUST LISTEN VERY
CLOSELY BECAUSE THERE'S NEW
DATA THAT SHOWS WASHINGTON
STATE HAS A PROBLEM WITH
VACCINES.
VACCINES.
VACCINES. APPARENTLY WE ARE THE 3rd
LOWEST WHEN IT COMES TO VACCINE
RATES IN THE COUNTRY THAT IS
NOW BELOW IMMUNITY AND JOINING
US IS DR. ELIZABETH MEAD THE
HEAD OF PEDIATRICS.
LET'S START WITH THE MMR, WE
ARE AT 90%.
AND WE ARE BELOW IMMUNITY.
>> THIS IS A SOMEWHERE BETWEEN
90% AND OUR RATES ARE ABOVE
90%.
90%.
90%. WE
90%. WE ARE ON THE BORDER LINE AND
THE DEAL WITH HURT IMMUNITY, IF
ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE VACCINATED
EVEN SOMEONE NOT VACCINATED FOR
A HEALTH REASON IS VERY
UNLIKELY TO GET THAT DISEASE,
WHEN WE GET BELOW 90% WE WORRY
ABOUT MORE POTENTIAL OUTBREAKS.
>> WE HAVE KIND OF STARTED
SEEING THE EFFECTS OF THAT
REGIONALLY.
REGIONALLY. PORTLAND HAD AN ISSUE AND NOW
SNOHOMISH COUNTY HAS ONE.
>> IN ABOUT A WEEK WE HAVE SEEN
A CASE IN PORTLAND AND
SNOHOMISH COUNTY.
SNOHOMISH COUNTY. >> AND THAT PERSON WAS VISITING
BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE PEOPLE
IMMUNIZED THEY CAN GET THIS.
>> AND MEASLES IS CONTAGIOUS SO
YOU CAN CATCH IT WITH SOMEONE
THAT IS IN THE SAME ROOM.
IT CAN LIVE IN THE AIR FOR UP
TO TWO HOURS.
THAT'S WHY THEY PUT OUT THE
HUGE LIST BECAUSE THERE IS
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE EXPOSED.
>> I KNOW PEOPLE THAT ARE
VULNERABLE.
VULNERABLE. YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT BABIES,
MAYBE SENIORS, OR THE ELDERLY.
>> BABIES, PREGNANT WOMEN,
PEOPLE WITH IMMUNE PROBLEMS AND
COMPROMISE, THEY ARE AT RISK IF
THEY GET MEASLES AND GETTING
SICK AND DYING.
>> YOU CAN'T GET THE VACCINE
WHEN YOU ARE LIKE A BRAND NEW
BABY.
BABY.
BABY. >>
BABY. >> TYPICALLY 12 TO 15 MONTHS
AND THE SECOND DOSE IS 4 TO 6
YEARS, THERE ARE CERTAIN
CIRCUMSTANCES IF PEOPLE ARE
TRAVELING WITH HIGH RATES, WE
MAY DO IT SOONER IN INFANTS.
>> SO IF SOMEONE DOESN'T GET
IT, THE PARENTS DON'T HAVE THE
CHILDREN GET IT THEY COULD PUT
AT RISK INFANTS THAT ARE NOT
ENOUGH TO GET THE VACCINATIONS.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> ABSOLUTELY. SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE CANCER OR
IMMUNE PROBLEMS, THERE MAY BE
PEOPLE, A VERY SMALL SUBSET OF
PEOPLE THAT AREN'T RESPONDERS
SO THEY DON'T GET THE
ANTIBIOTICS EVEN IF THEY ARE
VACCINATED.
VACCINATED. PEOPLE ARE NOT VACCINATED ARE
PUTTINGS THOSE OTHER PEOPLE AT
RISK THAT CAN'T GET THE VACCINE
AND THAT'S THE CONCERN.
>> I SEE.
>> I SEE.
>> I SEE. >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> SO LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS
OTHER TOPIC.
OTHER TOPIC. >> SURE.
>> SURE.
>> SURE. >> MAY HAVE BEEN LISTENING.
TALKING ABOUT THIS ARTICLE THAT
SAYS CHILDREN SHOULD BE ALLOWED
TO BE BORED.
>> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. >> AND YOU ARE THE HEAD OF
PEDIATRICS.
PEDIATRICS. ASSUMING YOU SPENT A LOT OF THE
TIME IN MED SCHOOL AND STUDIED
IT.
IT.
IT. LET'S
IT. LET'S SAY YOU ON THIS TOP.
>>> I THINK BOREDOM IS GOOD FOR
KIDS.
KIDS.
KIDS. THEY NEED TIME FOR IMAGINATIVE
PLAY AND THEY NEED TO USE THEIR
IMAGINATION AND COME UP WITH
THEIR OWN GAMES AND THAT BORDOM
CAN SPARK THAT.
IN THE SUMMERTIME WE DON'T WANT
KIDS SIT AROUND DOING NOTHING
BUT I THINK SOME BOREDOM FORCES
KIDS TO NOT BE STIMULATED AND
TO COME UP WITH THEIR OWN WAYS
TO BE IMAGINATIVE.
>> I THINK THERE'S A BALANCE,
RIGHT?
RIGHT?
RIGHT? >>
RIGHT? >> YES.
>> YES.
>> YES. I
>> YES. I DON'T KNOW, HAS ANYONE EVER
SAID HOW MUCH BOREDOM IS GOOD.
>> I DON'T THINK THERE'S A HARD
TARGET BUT I THINK IF YOU ARE
NOTICING THAT KIDS ARE ACTING
OUT, MAYBE THAT IS TOO MUCH BUT
THE KIDS NEED TIME EVERY DAY TO
HAVE UNSTRUCTURED PLAYTIME AND
TO COME UP WITH THEIR OWN GAMES
AND READ.
AND READ.
AND READ. AND I THINK A LITTLE IS GOOD TO
MAKE KIDS THINK ABOUT WHAT THEY
WANT.
WANT.
WANT. >>
WANT. >> UNSTRUCTURED TIME.
>> THAT'S A GREAT GOAL.
>> AND ACTUALLY FOR ADULTS TOO.
WE SCHEDULE OURSELVES EVERY
MINUTE OF THE DAY AND PEOPLE
TALK ABOUT WHEN THEY HAVE THEIR
