To coin a phrase, ā€œflu shot, we don’t need no stinking flu shotā€.

My dad was always sick within a week of getting his flu shots. I chose not to do that to myself. Now, I don’t even want the tetanus booster needed.

I've never had a flu shot.

My last tetanus booster was about 12 years ago. Based on what I'm seeing on more recent research on tetanus immunity, I don't plan to get any more tetanus boosters.

Nothing coming from the Leftist/Globalist Filth Cabal could ever coerce me into getting injected with their experimental poison. That being said, I would be willing to get injected under only the following condition: The injector must first take a point-blank shotgun blast to the face. Then they can give me the injection.

I have never taken nor will I ever take a flu shot. Years ago I had the flu. It sucked. I thought I was going to die. But I survived it and life went on. I’m still having fun, I’m still dealing with hard times and tragedy too. I don’t care how long I live - I’m too busy living to give a damn about how long I’ll live. Someday I will die. Big fu*ckin’ deal.

I have had the flu shot for the past 4 or 5 years. In the spring of 2019 I came down with the Flu (officially diagnosed). I think I’m going to skip it this year. CDC doesn’t appear to know dick about vaccines.

Not feeling all that bad. No fever or chills. Still tasting stuff. Not eating much. Lost ten pounds in the last few days.

Ivermectin and the common vitamin regimen. Not sure the dosages. 12 Ivermectin tabs is the dosage daily per my body weight. The rest is about another 15 pills a day.

Also doing prednisone to get ahead of bronchitis which is common for me when I get sick.

Just made appointment for monoclonal antibodies infusion.

I’m a bit lightheaded. I had to do a ten hour drive Saturday to get home from a work trip and made it ok.

My wife is really helping me out but also keeps reminding me of the 19 month of morning sickness she went through with our kids.

She hasn’t brought up the 12 1/2 pound baby she delivered without anesthesia. She holding that in reserve for when I really start whining.

B for me. I had flu shots when I had an employer I could not evade, but otherwise I won’t take them. I have been suspicious since the 1980s as I worked for old men MDs then who were suspicious....

I am on info overload, but iirc it was Dr Merritt? who said do NOT take any new “vaccine” formulations including flu shots. She continues to have strong concerns about these CV jabs and particularly notes they, and other new formulations, contain squalene. Squalene is known to cause injury from the anthrax vaccines/Gulf War Syndrome. (I guess that’s why they added it back in, the better to kill us!)

IMO BIG Pharma has shown itself to be incredibly evil and I am all out of trust for them.

No, because I never took the flu shot anyway in previous years. šŸ™‚

No. I’ve never gotten a flu shot. I’m not likely to start now.

The no fever and chills are very good signs. The appetite is par for the course, but eat. Force yourself. Don’t laugh, but I have been told baby food can be choked down during the illness because bland is better than screwed up flavors.

If your O2 levels are good you are good, I think. I assume you are checking them? If not, you must. Don’t test O2 at rest. Walk around a minute or so and then take it. Don’t fixate on them. 3 or 4 checks a day.

You are probably getting the nasty metallic taste that people have told me about. That fades quickly but taste takes a while to return to normal. Meat tasting “gross” for a while is what I have been told. Fish was OK to them.

That light headedness can transition to becoming somewhat forgetful for a few weeks but then seems to clear up. How bad it gets seems to be related to how sick you got. Assuming you are 4 days in and your fever has broken it could pass very quickly.

Hope the infusion is soon. It really helps a loads and loads. The 180 degree turn arounds I have seen is literally in hours for people who were very very sick.

I will say a little prayer for your speedy recovery.

Haven’t missed a flu shot in years, but all the pharm talk about a dual covid/flu jab and the weekend news blurb of the gal going to walgreens for a flu shot and oopsie they gave her a covid ‘by mistake’ has me thinking I just might skip it this year. Between bidets health nazis and pharms insatiable desire to drug everybody. It might be prudent to skip it and see if this next year gets any better.

I have a blood ox sensor but haven’t used it yet. I have mild asthma and know the feeling. Nowhere near that yet.

I think I mentioned that I had a 350 mile drive Saturday. I was pulling a 7000 lb trailer for work. In a moment of inattention I clipped the fender on a gas station island.

I’ll be sure to let my boss know about the forgetfulness aspect when I tell him. It’s only a $100 part anyway and easy to fix.

Ivermectin sure seems to work.

D pretty much.

I may get a flu shot again. Someday if all this hysteria subsides.

But not for now.

And I hadn’t realized aborted children are used in development. So now I know. And will not utilize unless that ends.

No I haven’t had a flu shot in 14 years and only ever had the flu once about 30 years ago.

given that last year’s influenza vaccine was a MASSIVE miss from whatever strains atually went around in the U.S., i am indeed re-evaluating flu vaccinations ...
