SAN FRANCISCO — What if Google knew before anyone else that a fast-spreading flu outbreak was putting you at heightened risk of getting sick? And what if it could alert you, your doctor and your local public health officials before the muscle aches and chills kicked in?

Perhaps. But I have had an adverse effect from tetanus, sulfa, isoniazid and indocine. I think the flu vaccine is just one more thing.
Me too. I like the quick loading time.
EXACTLY!
I’ve had two flu shots in my life and felt like crap after each.
I said I’ll take my chances rather than get sick knowingly and willingly.
earth clinic remedies will tell you how to deal with the flu among other things. Good site.
The big problem with the avian flu H5N1 is that nobody has any immunity to it, because they’ve never been exposed to it. However, it has been discovered that if someone gets vaccinated for a generic H5N1, twice, their immune system is much more able to cope without dangerously overreacting.
So when the real disease comes around, they may still get sick, just not as sick as they would have.
For this reason, H5N1 components should be added to the next few flu vaccines.
If you were in bed for a week from a flu vaccine, it must have been a hospital bed due to an ana;hylactic reaction.
It couldn’t have been flu, because the flu virus is inactivated, and it’s impossible to get flu from a flu shot.
The FluMist nasal vaccine has a weakend flu virus, so it’s technically possible to get flu from it, but highly unlikely.
Nope, you can't get the flu from a flu shot. But flu symptoms aren't caused by the virus they are the immune system's reaction. So if the body reacts to what it perceives to be the flu you can experience the symptoms.
gnip...
My son and I both have Mono. Wish they had a tracker for that!
I developed the original concept in 2005 using Google’s own data.

Sure took a long time, guys.
what’s next... when i search for gun, Palin, or Christian who will they report it to?
I am typing flu in google over and over when i think about it... maybe it will skew their data and they will not be looked as all knowing!
They are evil.
Not cool to be made public.
Homeland Security should stop this.
Too much data for the enemies.
For example, I Googled “I sneezed and crapped my pants”.
I also Googled "Obama makes me sick to my stomach".
