Good gawd it is readily apparent why you have no fucking clue: You have a complete and utter lack of reading comprehension.
16 of the last 19 years the vaccine has been a good match for the predominant strains. This blows your bullshit "it isn't the right strain" argument out of the water.
Fucktards like you who convince your victims not to get the vaccine only serve to guarantee there will be no herd immunity no matter how successful the vaccine is. Your asinine advice guarantees it's failure, and thus supports your backasswards logic.
Every ounce of bullshit you've posted in this thread has been debunked, and you repeat yourself in the face of conflicting evidence.
Just as in the HFCS thread, you enter the debate with a complete and utter ignorance in the subject, then try to feel your way through the subject like a blind man in an orgy. Then you spend the entire debate trying to explain away all the dicks you grabbed.
Just stop already.
lol it's fun seeing you get mad
i think i'm going to just go ahead and post again just to visualize your face turning red.
some dude in some news article you found said 16 of 19 years has been a good match for the vaccine. that's nice. the vaccine is, what, 60-85% or so effective? in elderly, children, and immunocompromised people, it's obviously lower.
i'm not arguing that it's ineffective. i'm arguing that i up to almost half of the healthy population gets a flu even when they get vaccinated. a lot of that has to do with having a less than optimal immune system (where it is affected by lack of sleep, increased emotional, physical, and chemical stress, improper diet, lack of exercise, etc). what i'm saying, for myself, is that i'd much rather wash my hands and take lots of vitamin d3 to increase cytokine activity and promote leukocyte proliferation. there's definitely no risk of getting neurological conditions, time off work from the effect of the vaccine on my body, etc if i just try and stay healthy through the autumnal and winter months. i'm not going to rely on a shot that may or may not protect me from a flu going around because, obviously, it's still possible to get it... and, on top of that, i could get sick from the shot itself. why would i want to risk dealing with two weeks off work rather than just one?
as for the graph with the elderly population i showed, what you don't seem to appreciate is that roughly the same number of elderly people die regardless of how many flu shots are administered to them. when the cdc says that elderly people need to get vaccinated and they do and it does nothing different for them than not getting vaccinated, then there's a problem with the system (especially when the drug companies pull billions in profit from it).
also, in regards to the hfcs threads, you make me laugh because you CLEARLY don't understand that studies on fructose's effect on the body correlates to hfcs's effect on the body (in particular, hfcs 55). you posting funded studies by the corn refiner's association and saying "see? hfcs and sucrose = same, you fucking moron!" isn't exactly proof. it's like pulling phillip-morris studies that prove smoking doesn't cause cancer.
again, i don't tell my patients not to get a vaccine. if anything, i'd only advise to get vaccinations. i catch a lot of shit from fellow chiropractors because of it, but their anti-vaccine stance is ridiculous, in my opinion. furthermore, i don't really appreciate being called a fucktard. please stop namecalling

thank you.
