...medical professionals are reminded of the 2003-2004 season when more than 40,000 people died because the predominant strain was so dissimilar from the vaccine that year...

Bush's fault!! (TM) (R) (C) /s

I had a flu shot in October and caught this flu last week.

It wasn’t as bad as the flu I had 12 years ago, but it did knock me out most of the week productivity-wise. Tamiflu appeared to help some.

This article is the epitome of the underlying problem with the medical system. Unless you are elderly or frail and the condition is life threatening, you should not be going to the hospital for the flu.

If I remember correctly, it was not too long ago (last fall) that the Government propaganda machine was touting that this years vaccines were covering all possible strains of the flu virus. How could this years outbreaks be happening? What went wrong? Health care providers are losing their jobs for refusing to get a flu shot. We are all in the midst of a terrible dream.

Union built hospitals? You would think they would build them stronger.

Wait until next year when Obamacare kicks in... flu epidemics will resemble the plague years of the Middle Ages with a huge shortage of doctors, Catholic hospitals closing in defiance to Obamacare mandates for abortion and birth control, and clinics overwhelmed by the Obama phone crowd looking for free care.

wash your hands frequently. wipe down your shopping carts. carry some hand sanitizer and use it frequently. watch the intimate contact. keep distance between you and others. minimize your chances of exposure. Use your own judgement on the flu vaccine. wash your hands frequently. If you get it, keep it to yourself.

"...because the predominant strain was so dissimilar from the vaccine that year..."

The flu shot push every year is the second biggest fraud on the American public since Obamas eligibility. That is the reason I never get a shot and rarely get the flu.

When I do get the flu I don't run to the ER and whine about it costing the tax payers a few thousand dollars. I take 2 aspirin every four hours (+/-4 cents) for elevated temperature, 1 shot of whiskey (+/-1 dollar) every two hours for muscle aches, one a shot lemon juice (+/- 25 cents) with honey for score throat, and make a conscious decision to commit 100 million reserve white cells (free of charge) to the fight. Just like my Grand Mother told me to do 60 years ago.

By the way, you didn't have to worry about going to jail if you gave a minor a few shots of whiskey for the flu in those days. People still had common sense.

Well...of course it’s flu season...here’s why....those people during Christmas either attended Communion services on Christmas Eve, and broke bread and dipped it in wine/juice with a bunch of sick, hacking people (happened where I was)...or they shared food and germs with other relatives, some of whom were sick. (I refused to eat my wine dipped bread at Communion...just pretended. Of the four of us, I am the ONLY one who has not become ill. There’s probably a lady still mad at me because I would not shake her hand... I said I was sick...to which she said...”So am I.” I really was not sick, I just wasn’t going to take a chance on GETTING sick.)

I would like to know how many of these people in the hospital for the flu took the flu shots and then got it. Anyone have an answer?
