From healthy to dead in 2 days. This strain of flu is some bad stuff.

Snip: "She is the 42nd Californian under the age of 65 to die from the flu, the paper reported."

Think Flu Season Is Bad? It Might Get Even Worse

From healthy to dead in 2 days.

Keith Richards and I outlive another younger health fanatic.

Mainstream press is just overrun with stories of people dying from the flu.

Apparently they’ve been cashing checks from the vaccine divisions of Big Pharma again.

The Spanish Flu of 1918 killed a lot of young healthy people. I believe it basically threw their immune system into over-drive and killed them. Younger and older people with less vibrant immune systems just got sick and then they got better. Counter-intuitive, but life is like that sometimes.

The flu shot is a joke

Take Tamiflu, drink Gatorade, move around.

I have customers calling me for my elderberry syrup.

Sorry, all out. Normally I have at least a couple of pints left on the shelf by the time spring rolls around. This time I was wiped out by New Years.

And we are not even the worse hit state.

She may not have been all that healthy. Many runners are excessively skinny. They’re at a higher risk of death.

Couldn’t help noticing this part:

“Her father believes she had gotten the flu shot”

[rjsimmon]

Why the Hell hasn’t Gov Brown banned the flu?

No husband?

My niece's boyfriend took their daughter in for a flu shot on Friday. The doctor recommended two shots to cover more influenza strains. The daughter is two years old. Three days later she's admitted to the hospital via urgent care with a 103 degree persistent fever. Diagnosis of influenza confirmed. Don't tell me you can't get sick from the flu shot; I see it happen frequently. And now a two year old is being watched for seizures because of it. Pharmaceutical companies need to get out of doctoring just like lobbyists need to get out of governing. The bad outweighs the good.
