Did I miss in the article where it states when Peralta received his flu shot?

[Bonemaker]

Before you get flu shot they ask if you are currently sick. Apparently there is a reason.

[Liz]

Peralta had trouble breathing at the end. And for at least two weeks before felt pressure behind his ears and headaches for a week or more.

These are classic symptoms of an allergy...... when the throat swells from contact with the allergen, breathing is impossible.

Pop artist Andy Warhol never had allergies, was never treated for allergies. After a routine operation, he was given post-op meds.

He died from an allergy to the meds. The hospital team could not get an oxygen tube down his throat......b/c of the swelling.

I'm thinking the family of Peralta will file suit at the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program where more than $4 billion dollars have been awarded to vaccine injured victims.

What did this guy know, and how long has he known the Clintons?

There’s always outliers. But you’re probably not the person that will have the really bad reaction. Much you’re probably not going to win the lottery.

Nothing surprises me anymore. For instance:

“A bite from the Lone Star tick can cause people to develop an allergy to red meat, including beef and pork.”

FWIW, I’m not anti-vaccine. In fact, my wife and I just got our Shingrix shingles vaccines, and she just got her flu vaccine. But I’m anti-flu vaccine for ME.

When I was a junior in high school in 1965, and at a military academy, we didn’t have a choice and were given the flu vaccine. I was sick, throwing up, for 4 days.

Then the next year, despite my protests, I got another flu shot. This time I was in a coma for 4 days, in intensive care for a week, and in the hospital for 15 days.

Afterward, the doctor told me that I probably wouldn’t survive another shot, and I’ve never had another one.

Over the years I’ve had other doctors tell me that the vaccine is different now, made differently, and it shouldn’t be a problem. Note the ‘shouldn’t’.

Honestly, would you take the chance? I think I’ve only had the flu twice in the last 50 years or so, and have never been that sick.

I tell people that I depend on the kindness of strangers. If everyone else gets their flu shots like they’re supposed to, then there won’t be anyone for me to catch it from.

At least that’s my story and I’m sticking with it.
