[quote name="Zsenitan"]<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/07/health/07party.html?_r=1">Dr. Anne Moscona, a flu specialist at Weill Cornell Medical College, said she had been called by a reporter for a women’s magazine “asking if mothers should hold swine flu parties, like chicken pox parties.” (“Chicken pox parties” — in which children gather so they can all be infected by a child who has the pox — are often held by parents who distrust chicken pox vaccine or want their children to have the stronger immunity that surviving a full-blown infection affords, and are willing to take the risk that their child will not get serious complications.)</a> We learn also that the NYT does not have its former command of the English language.[/quote]
