This has been a curiosity to me as to why there is so much general anti-vaccination sentiment in France. I know the French enjoy a certain amount of hypochondria in their attitude - just my opinion and observation - but there does seem to be a certain amount of avid fervency against vaccines in general or have I been reading the wrong things? Was there not some past scandal that has exacerbated this?
French hypochondria is real! The French used to complain about 'heavy legs' which had no medical basis. Off they would trot to the Doctor who would prescribe a 'treatment'; until the medical insurance companies announced they would no longer pay for the 'heavy legs' some 5 or6 years ago. The BBC News Paris Correspondent [female whose name I've forgotten] wrote quite a long, and very entering article on it [Brigitte Kendal?]. IIRC the Heavy Legs 'illness' started in late September each year :LOL: :unsure:

Indeed it is. I lived with my French g/f and her family in Paris for four years and they seemed to be constantly 'ill', relying on suppositories to cure virtually everything.

Even toothache? :Eeek:
Not toothache. My g/f 's father tried a suppository but said for all the good it did he might just as well have shoved it up his a**e.

I'm not kidding; I found that that once I became conscious of the popularity of suppositories it seemed that all chemists windows had displays promoting them and there were posters at bus stops, in Metro stations, in fact everywhere I went.

Just north of Mumbai, on the 48 heading for Navghar I guess, let me know....

There must be a chance that you'll end up on the throne, asking Ann if there's another toilet roll in the fridge ... :rolleyes: :eek:

Not so often now but it is actually a better way to take medicines as it does not pass through all your vital organs to be absorbed . Just people find it distasteful but for some medication is better for your overall health .
