My Wife and I are in your late 80's. This years when planning to get an annual Flu Shot we were asked to get an RSV also. We did get out Flu Shot yesterday but no RSV was available. Was that a SIGN ?
Would a FReeper(s) with some knowledge contribute to this discussion?
Moderator please fix Typos in Title.
YES or NO ....Husband and Wife..
I keep hoping for an Edit Function!
My uncle in his late 70s, a healthy, active man, caught RSV from his great-grandchild during the holidays last year. It literally knocked him down, resulting in a head injury. Thank Heaven he is fine now. The vaccine was not available last fall, so he did not get it. After that terrible experience, he made sure to get it when it did become available.
I’m not a doctor, not giving advice, just sharing experience of my family. Here’s wishing you and your wife good health and happiness, whatever you decide.
Well gamblers are happy to get a better than 50/50 chance of winning (or even lower), but the chance of dying from flu is very very low, over 99% chance of survival for all ages i believe- of course it goes down some if you have preexisting health issues like heart disease, diabetes, etc-
I’m happy with my 99%+ chances of survival without a vaccine
I am not an expert, but my husband got the RSV vaccine with no ill effects. About six months ago I got sick with a reapiratory virus that hit my lungs only. It was horrible. I tested negative for covid. I suspect it may have been RSV, but don’t know for sure. I told my husband that if I was 80 years old, that would have killed me. Its a different story between a 30 year old versus an 80 year old, but really, only you can make that decision.
obviously it’s a personal decision, but I for one have never had a flu shot, or any other vaccine since grade school and I am 64, I also have never been sick since I was 9 when I almost died from the Hong Kong Flu. No colds,sniffles,flu’s,... so I think it depends on how healthy you guys are and do you really need a vaccine with a 20% efficacy rate??
Since the Fauci Flu I have ZERO respect for anyone in the Medical Profession, especially the drug companies pushing vaccines.
I don't trust the shots now.I hope you will have a look at these prevention and treatment protocols for flu, Covid and RSV by FLCC. They are downloadable PDFs. I am downloading and printing them.

There are more treatments for other illnesses, and lists of doctors who prescribe meds including Ivermectin here:

Not just typos in the title, but typos and mistakes throughout your post.
Anyway - Many people don’t trust ANY shots. Flue, RSV, Shingles, etc.
As the government has lied to us regarding how safe Covid vaccines are - why trust them with others?
I wouldn’t be surprised if your ordinary flu shot doesn’t have Covid vaccines hidden within.
Given the current state of affairs... the only reason I will take any drugs or even go see a doctor is for stitches... (my regular, self prescribed ivermectin... notwithstanding...)
My advice don’t take any of those shots. They are all bad. Just go on the Zelenko protocol and you will likely not even get a sniffle. That’s what we do.
Have not been sick since Nov 2022 and that was likely covid which for us was a 3 day head cold and a lingering cough. The in laws who are vaxxed and not on the Zelenko protocol were sick as dogs and the BIL almost died.
Blessings to you and your bride.
The CDC and their recommendations?
Why trust them at all?
An edit function for Free Republic!? It seems we discussed that a decade or so ago.
I’m 70. I have gotten every vaccine available for years and years. In the last 9 months of 2023 and first 3 months of 2024 I got sick 5 times. Up until them I have never been sick more than twice in a year, usually once a year, and many times not sick at all.
I’m not getting any more shots.
I’m 73. I asked my doc about the RSV shot and she said “over 75.” Other sources say “Over 60” or “Over 60 if you have co-morbidities such as hypertension, COPD, diabetes, etc.”
So I’m thoroughly confused about it. I’ve never met anybody who got that virus.
I got my senior dose flu shot yesterday, but no RSV shot (and no COVID booster).
CDC recommends everyone ages 75 and older get an RSV vaccine.
CDC recommends adults ages 60–74 who are at increased risk of severe RSV disease get an RSV vaccine.
We are hardly ever within half a mile of anyone for days on end. I sometimes go weeks without ever leaving the farm. I’ll take my chances without vaccines for now and continue with my vitamin C, D and zinc.
“typos and mistakes throughout your post.”
Says the guy who won’t take the “flue shot.”
I asked my furnace this morning and it says it won’t take shots to its flue.
CDC recommends…………LMAO
I don’t trust any of their jabs.
Smart, Joe.
