At least half of Laredo sick with respiratory illness
At least 50 percent of the Laredo population has shown symptoms of respiratory infection, leading health authorities to urge the community to take preventive measures.
People cannot afford flu shots due to the price tag on ObamaRomneyCare.
They need an Assault Flu Ban.
The flu or the flu shot? I got unhappy news last night a family acquaintance died of flu shot reaction. 50 years old and as far as I know healthy.
Simple fix.... establish Flu Free zones.
As usual with the Boston media the article is completely void of any detail as far as age or anything else.
I have only recieved a flu shot once. It was the only year I “caught” the flu and the sickest I have ever been in my life. Lesson learned.
One of the 18 was a nursing home resident who refused his flu shot.
Mass deaths from flu must be stopped. People with flu must not be allowed to infect our society. I call on Joe Biden to convene a study group on flu and see what can be done to eliminate this potential hazard to our school children. People carrying the flu germ must not be allowed within 100 feet of schools. Flu police must guard every door. Ban flu now!
I have received flu shots for years, mostly because I had to deal with the scum of society on a daily basis. During nearly 30 years on the job, I never contracted the flu.
Now retired and because of other health issues ( bad heart, bad lungs diabetic, the meds I require, etc. ), my immune system sucks and as such, I still get the yearly flu shot, but this year it didn’t work.
About 3 weeks after the injection, I came down with the flu from hell and it lasted for 2 long weeks. After the first week I started feeling better, a day later— it hit again. It was as though I had chugged that stuff you have to drink in prep for a colostomy, every day for two weeks.
I guess the good news is: it didn’t kill me, my septic system and drain field still works and I lost 18 pounds.
DO NOT try to lose weight this way! ;>)
Get lots of sleep, eat lots of chicken soup, and avoid the maddening crowd is my advice for staying healthy.
Vitamin D3..... 2,000 to 4,000 iu per day
No flu
