I've been saying for quite a while now that the "flu vaccines" were far less effective than they were touted to be. At least they haven't been mandated by the state - yet.

[cripplecreek]

I’ve only gotten a flu shot once and I ended up getting the flu.

I seem to fight that sort of thing off pretty good. What drives others to their knees makes me a little achy and feverish but seldom really makes me sick.

Tune in for our next exciting episode, when we'll reveal the racial makeup of the groups for which the vaccine does and doesn't work!

Don't miss it!

Same for pneumonia.

(Ard is right, again.)

Who is this Ard - and how can he be contacted? I have a few more predictions that need some work.

I must be one of the 59 %. My health hasn’t been too good for several years and I spent a couple of days in the hospital some years back due to the flu which went into my lungs. Since then I’ve been taking the shots and have not had the flu in spite of exposure. My wife has done well too.

I am not a vaccine-conspiracy person or anti-vaccine, per se. However, I’ve always seen “Flu shot” as a waste of money, much as “alternatives” are. If it essentially makes you sick to keep you healthy long-term, I see no value and more trouble than it’s worth.

Yes, I’ve had flus. Not every year, though.

Last year my MIL was bugging us about giving our 2yo son a flu shot, especially the “swine flu” craze that was sweeping through. Never mind the ped always promoting it. I resisted and neither I nor my son got any flu much less the “evil swine flu” that hardly happened.

My parents and husband and MIL do it all the time, but I do not wish to. I think it’s a waste.

I got a flu shot 4 years ago and my legs ‘buzzed” for 8 months after.

My ‘doc’ said it had nothing to do with the flu shot.
Yea, it was just ‘coincidence’ that it came about a few days after the shot.

Anyways i researched it, found some REALLY SCARY STUFF and will NEVER get a flu shot ever again.
I suggest the same to you guys.

Vitamin D3. 10,00 units a day for the last two years.
No respiratory or any other viruses for those two years.
Wife is an elementary school teacher who used to bring flu or colds home from school 3 to 5 times a school year.
Wife has been taking 10,000 D3 for two years. She has had no viruses for those two years.
I used to get the stuff at WalMart for cheap. Now I get it on line for cheaper.
I like not having colds and stuff.

NOT effective

Oh, and BTW, you DON'T want the type that comes from Cod Liver Oil because that contains lots of 'active' vitamin A, which neutralizes your body's D3

[Smokin' Joe]

Ping....

[Myrddin]

I'm partial to the theory that flu strikes in winter for lack of enough circulating D3. I take 5000IU daily and haven't bothered with a flu shot for the last 6 years. Not a single case of flu in that time frame. My home is in Idaho, so sunshine isn't enough. Even though I'm working in San Diego, I'm inside from 8 AM to 7 PM M-F. Very little sun exposure.

[knarf]

Why would anyone line up .. and PAY for .. a government sanctioned injection of ...

what?

I'm 63 ... never have, never will.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've "had the flu" in the last 15 or 20 years ... it nails me for a week and I milk it for all it's worth ... ( ...;^) .... )

[who knows what evil?]

Whenever some clerk at Walgreen's or CVS asks me if I have had my flu shot; I ask them if they are licensed to practice medicine.

Shuts them right up.

If you understand the basics of the mathematics of immunology, you would know that you don’t need anything like 100% individual efficacy to develop useful levels of herd immunity to prevent mass transmission. Even if you don’t think YOU need it, suck it up, wait in line a few minutes, take the prick in the arm, do it for the young children, oldsters, and immune compromised for whom the prevention of the flu is more important.

[opentalk]

I think the flu vaccine contains has both aluminum and thimerosal (mercury)

[USS Alaska]

according to a new study

If you don't agree with these results, just wait a few months, a new study is now under way.

The experts have proven that both global cooling and then global warming exist and are caused by human activity, and the new study finds this is now called climate change.

The seas are rising but there are places where it is falling, the ice is melting or growing, there are more or less hurricanes than in past years, there are too many people and not enough food, too many people have too much while so many don't have enough... according to karl marx {karl was the marx brother with the big beard}.

[cuban leaf]

I’ve never had one. I did get the flu once in the 90’s though...

[Jedidah]

I always get the shot and haven’t had the flu in years.

And I don’t want it.

59% is better than nothing.

We need to quit demanding perfection. It’s not happening in thie world. We do our best, and deal with the rest.

(That goes for elections, too.)
