Hmmmmm. I'm wondering, how many people in such a clinical trial would go and get another flu shot just in case they may have been given the placebo.

As far as I’m concerned this is just another reason to skip the shot.

Correlation is not causation. Explain the mechanism.

Something just isn’t right with this study...

It’s like saying....”Those who root for the Alabama school with red helmets are more likely to see winning football than those who root for the Alabama school with white helmets”

These studies are so stupid. I learned that me punching you in the face increases your anger 10 fold.

If this is so, maybe the reason why is that fewer flus means fewer strenuous coughs, which in turn can stress the circulatory system. Just a guess. It’s worth investigating to see if it’s true. Vaccines of any sort are a health trade off, and if I were king I’d make them all voluntary.

My father got the flu shot religeously and chastized me for skipping it. He died of a massive stroke anyway inspite of this and including watching his weight, diet, and taking meds for the last 20 years. So much for this propaganda.

I have not had a flu shot since 1978. I am still alive.

I can say, this does not correlate with my personal experience in a hospital environment. Maybe they should claim flu shots cure cancer or supercharge your sex life. Of course, my finding are not government funded and documented, just 25 years of observation. I have not had a flu shot since the military mandate... that would be 20 years. Might have had one mild case of the flu. A simple does of Walmart Mag-Zinc for an immune boost while people cough and spread their vaccination all around me. In the medical field I have a high exposure to every acute infection endemic to our region. Happy, healthy and full of energy.

50 percent of the participants have heart disease.
50 percent of the participants receiving flu shots did not have a heart attack.
Sounds like they gave flu shots to the healthy 50 percent, and then concluded the clinical trial was a success. Who funded this?

How can you skip something you have never done? Getting the shot is not the default position.

Can we just stop already with promoting products for pharma !!!!!!!!!!!!

It is not productive to make and take pills unnecessarily.

Money (=time=work) spent on something that is not needed.

Just go write a check every day to a pharma company for $500. Go ahead, do it !!!

Studies show, if you do that, you’ll live forever.
