I never do flu shots. I’m not convinced they work and I hear too many stories like this.
I’ve never had a flu shot. Have I just been lucky?
I wash my hands a LOT (not obsessive!) during Cold & Flu season, and I stay the hell away from The General Populace as much as possible during the winter months.
*SHRUG*
Every time I have taken the flu shot, I got sick as a dog. When I don’t get the flu shot, I do fine.
Cause and effect. I do believe that the “flu shot” is experimental and the medical industry is using us as guinea pigs to see what works and what doesn’t. I don’t want to play that game.
Those of us who were alive in the 70’s may recall that the government’s massive Swine Flu Immunization Program resulted in scores of cases of Gullian Barre Syndrome, and the epidemic never came.

No actually I have seen many patients with GB in ICU return to a full normal life in a month or two.
I have always felt that way since I saw my mother regularly get the shot and get sick.
However I am over 80 now and am threatened by 2 potential fatal ailments. I just don't think I can fight off the flu, so I got my first shot about 3 years ago and had no side effects
. This year a friend got the senior flu shot and was confined to bed the next day because of a reaction. I got that senior flu shot about a month ago and had no adverse effects.
My opinion is if you feel up to fighting off the flu I would skip the shot, but if you feel the flu might bring you down because of other health issues , you might consider taking a chance and get a flu shot. - Tom
No, the anti-biotics
My cousin contracted GBS without ever having had a flu shot
My Doc recommends, of course, a flu shot for me every year. I’ve never had and never want a flu shot.
I say to him, “Doc, you know my medical record. Have I ever had the flu?”
He says, “No.”
I say, “Have I ever had a flu shot?”
He says, “No.”
I say, “There you are.”
If you got the shot, then got sick, the shot OBVIOUSLY made you sick.
‘cuz science.
And logic.
1918 Flu epidemic. We should all be afraid.
Pneumonia and the Flu is no laughing matter especially for older folks. If you are a gentlemen and still shake people’s hands at church, your are just playing with fire.

How do you turn a massive number of Kids into Theys? Vac....
Your point????
There were lots of people who never had smallpox,yet still got the shot,just to be safe.
.
I have an off shoot of GBS that is why I never take a flu shot. I got a virus that I had a one in four million chance once before and still have lingering life changing effects from it. Sorry I won’t take that chance. I pray this fellow gets better quickly.
For people averse to getting a flu shot, there is a new flu drug (Xofluza - first flu drug approved in over 20 years) that can be effective when taken within first 48 hours of symptoms.

So how did he die, and why? What about the CDC plane, round trip - Atlanta, Little Rock, Atlanta that same day? Oh, sorry, didn't mean to digress.
From the CDC:
What is thimerosal?
Thimerosal is an ethyl mercury-based preservative used in vials that contain more than one dose of a vaccine (multi-dose vials) to prevent germs, bacteria and/or fungi from contaminating the vaccine.
