Agreed. Irresponsible. I went to MD today for my yearly and we reviewed every immunization. I am up to date but then again, I am an RN.

As an ICU nurse, I say> Yikes. ((Healing vibes!))

Tetanus is usually in the same shot as pertussis (whooping cough), which, BTW, needs to be renewed every 10 years (ages 24, 34, 44, 54, 64, 74, 84....). Flu every year. Pneumonia after age 60, also shingles after age 60.

As a researcher, an n=30 is minimum to run inferential statistics, but only a power analysis calculation can assert whether 30 is enough in any given situation.

Qualitative research studies only need 8-20 participants, because the data are not numbers (not amenable to statistical analysis) but are context-specific and which reveal what is called a "thick, rich" description of a phenomenon (in this case, making sense of anecdotes, stories and other human-produced evidence such as photographs, art, etc.)

Your dada are useful, but flawed.

Us too. Never had a problem, but use secure backpacks (anti-slash material, and radio-frequency blocking), and don't act like a tourist. I leave all jewelry except a plain wedding band, and try to keep my Detroit-street smarts with me wherever I go. Have traveled all around Spain, including 10 weeks this summer and have never had a problem at all. We lived 6 weeks in Granada, one week in Barcelona, and road-tripped the rest of the time.

Every night was an AirBnB stay. We have never had a problem.

Just stay alert.
