My daughter got sick from it every year. The doctor said it was impossible too, but he wasn't home with a sick child. He did say that it could be the solution that the shot was in, but then he said that didn't change from year to year and she shouldn't have gotten different symptoms. I'll take observable, concrete phenomena over the abstract theoretical any day.

"The doctor said it was impossible"

He should look at the product label on that vaccine and see what it says. I can't believe he even told you it was impossible. Maybe he needs a refresher course.

After all, doctors are just "practicing".

The fact that much of your symptoms from a virus are actually from your own body's auto-immune reaction to viral critters both live, and dead is what makes you feel so awful. Interesting enough, technically a virus cannot be classified as living or non-living. A virus is a phage. It enjoys a triggered life and a protein shell which encases the non-living material until conditions are ripe again. That can take a year. That can take a hundred years. The phage can wait. And wait. And wait. Some viruses are quite fragile and chemically deteriorate into stuff which can't become infectious again by temperature, UV light, caustic chemical washes, anhydrous solvents, etc......Some viruses can last centuries and return to being infectious.

That's my biology class final exam question from my hospital bed. I was hospitalized at a great distance from school and missed my last two months and graduation because I was a busted up sack-o-meat. I got an "A" on ti so I guess it was pretty much right as could be in the 70's.
