womp womp womp

I’m surprised this was even published.

Roughly 20 years ago, I was getting employer provided flu shots every year. I figured it’s free, so why not.
I rarely caught the flu.

Then I stopped taking them.
....and I rarely go the flu

hmmmm....

My wife got the flu twice after earlier getting the shot.

Theory: People who are vaccinated are either in a higher Rick environment or they feel “protected” and don’t take the precautions (like handwashing and staying away from sick people) that they should.

All of the “Science” behind many things we thought were settled is really not very scientific.

I want to know who the manufacturer was of the vaccine.

Luckily, my occupation and being semi-retired means that during the Winter months, we are rather seculded from the population. That helps—That and avoid flu shots.

Frankly, not a mask wearer, but I am used to seeing the Asain population here among us wear masks during the cold and flu season. So I have no problem if someone wants to wear a mask in public for real health reasons.

People have been saying since the flu vaccine hoax started that the only purpose to take the vaccine was to choose a convenient time to get the flu.

In the years where they guessed the wrong strains the population got just as sick.

I think it was ‘91 where for some reason base command made flu shots mandatory. Youve never seen that many young healthy people simultaneously in you life. Unbelievable.

I’ve been getting flu shots ever since the 1980s when my company began offering them free to anyone in the cafeteria line who wanted them. The only question they asked was “ are you allergic to eggs”? That meant that even visitors could get the free shot. I’ve only had the flu once since then,
and that was sometime in the ‘90s. I still get one each year, though not the Covid shot. I did have a mild case of Covid a couple of years ago, but that’s the only time.

Every year the flu shot is a gamble because it is impossible to predict which strain(s) should be targeted.

If they get it right, the vaccines will be effective that year. If their guess is wrong, the vaccines will be ineffective.

I went to my eye doc a few years ago...so many of staff were recovering from flu, or out still...I asked...did you all get flu shot? Yes...was the answer..this was pre-covid.

This is not new.

Same thing happened in 2015-16.

The issue with flu vaccines isn’t so much about this one or that one. The strategy (mutation matching) does have a weakly positive effect when the guessers guess right.

The real issue is, what is the cumulative effect of doing it 20, 30, or 40 times over decades? This is, by the way, the issue with fluoride in water and oral contraceptives. Lack of harm in an eight or sixteen week trial does not validate 30 years of exposure.

Im actually somewhat surprised by the forum today. In years past we would have had some pharma rep or FRoctor here misdirecting people by picking fights claiming that someone said there was a live virus in the vaccine.

There’s a Dilbert cartoon about that, as I recall. It’s a flu shot, not a flu prevention shot.

One of my sisters got the flu vaccine earlier this year, as did her husband and two children. Within two weeks, all four were sick with the flu.

Neither I nor my other sisters have gotten a flu vaccine and none have been sick.

Conclusion: You’re more likely to get the flu if you get the flu vaccine.

That’s my study and it didn’t take a million dollars to complete.

I didn’t get the flu this year, but I sure as hell got something that was worse than the flu. I live in a pretty large town and everyone was getting it. It was what I would call the worst damn cold I ever had in my life. Wife caught it too.

I’ve never had a flu shot and the last time I had the flu was 20+ years ago...probably closer to 30.

Even a simple cold is rare for me.

I have never gotten a flu shot because I knew it was a scam. I’ve seen people at work get one and get sick anyway.
