Flu vaccine

It saves lives every year even if it doesn't work completely,
The flu is VERY deadly and is responsible for millions of deaths world wide historically.
The black plauge was a flu virus I think.

If you have the flu, the last thing you want to do is give yourself MORE of it, a vaccine!
She should have been getting antibiotics.

She didn't have the flu, she hit her head!!

if you are not old, or an infant or have some sort of immunity defficiency issue then there is not a reason to have this shot.

The human body is fully capable of warding off sicknesses on its own. You must take into consideration that the flu used to kill people hundreds of years ago when nutrition was not where it is today. Many commonly consumed items today are enriched with important nutrients like vitamin C that help fortify our immune systems.
 
Christ, you're all fscking clueless.

Yeah, the flu shot is worthless. It's all a sham. Yeah, it actually gives you the flu. Infact, all prescription drugs and vaccines make you sick! It's just the drug companies throwing the doctors a bone.

Mmmmhmmmmmmm.

Oh yeah, and we should all be taking antibiotics to make sure we don't get the flu virus. Double the dose!

Just drink a bottle of antibacterial soap a day. The triclosan is all you need!
 
Are there really 55 million weak, elderly, or extremely young people in this country? Why the hell would anybody else need it?

What a waste of money... my god.

Errr....? Obviously, if there are only 55 million dosages, and there is a shortage...?

 
there are soo many other ways to protect your self from the flu, like washing your hands, taking vits, comon sense stuff. only really really old and really young people should get the vaccine.

Precisely, I haven't gotten the shot, and nor do I plan on, if I get sick, so be it, but the body is capable of warding off illness, and after is does it develops a higher resistance. I've taken very little medicine throughout my life and because of it I rarely get sick, it sometimes just plain amazes me. Or even if I get sick it generally doesn't last long.

There are only a small number of people who actually get influenza per year.


The rest of the cry-babies have the common cold :roll:

I believe that if you already have respiratory problems, that is also a....can't remember the term now. "Factor" of some sort I think. I hate it when I can't find the right word I want. File not found.😱
 
Last "flu season" was supposed to be horrible, and it was mild compared to others no thanks to the vaccine. The number of deaths in the U.S. that are attributed to the flu every year are BS as well, I will see if I can find the link for it. It wasn't a conspiracy theorist site either, it was a government site. 😛 Just can't remember right now if it was CDC or FDA.
