The parents of a 2-month-old infant often took him along with them on their frequent trips to the mall. One of the grandmothers

suggested that they leave him home, as it was flu season and the malls were full of coughing and sneezing people. The mother immediately responded that she was breast-feeding the baby, and with all those antibodies from her, he was surely protected against any diseases in the mall. Later as she sat at the pediatrician’s office holding her sick baby, she expressed disbelief that he could have caught the flu. If you were the doctor what fallacies in this mother's beliefs could you explain toher?

Answer:

Breast feeding only cannot stop the flu. She should have observed other safety measures.

Explanation:

Breast milk only protects against digestive tract infections; it does not provide bloodstream antibodies against those illnesses that can be stopped by vaccines.

Vaccination against severe illnesses like the flu, provides different antibodies from the antibodies that are transmitted through breast milk. Exposing the baby in an area full of people with the flu made the baby get the flu. Because even though she was breastfeeding, she should have kept the baby away from flu symptoms.

Why do you think the quality of life does not have any absolute measurement yard stick? Explain with examples​
JulijaS [17]

Answer: You cannot measure what one person experiences and then use the measurements to measure another person who has never had those experiences, learned in different ways, and run their lives and learned their lessons in harder or easier ways. For instance:

Bobby has lived his life as the owner of a body shop(if you don't know, this is a place where people work on cars) Bobby dropped out of school at 15 to help his dad with said shop, and has been living a happy life, now 56 with two kids in high school and a lovely wife.

Now you have Craig, who from kindergarden up was a straight A student and now holds a gavel as one of the best judges in the United States. He went to Harvard, where he met his first girlfriend who dumped him two minutes before he walked on stage to graduate from Harvard. Craig now also 56 lives a happy life with no kids and a new girlfriend who he sees every Saturday.

Both men are successful and happy, but they got to where they are in very different ways. No you cannot measure that.
