Do you guys buy this, that the reason the US isn’t getting hit so hard is years and years of prior flu vaccinations? I’ve been thinking about this, I never get the flu shot and never get the flue. However, those sitting right next to me have gotten the flu shot often get the flu that same year (and I razz them).
So, if Dr. Manny is right, those of us who never take the flu shots are in the most danger, but still, I don’t think I’m going to take the flu shots. What do you guys think?
Eat well and exercise. Your immune system should be the one fighting stuff off.
I know countless people who now REJECT these “flu shots”. They've been sick as dogs too. More often than not the “strain” you are injected with is NOT the “strain” that is the hottest “flu”. It's just a money maker for the pharms that team up with government. And of course, who can resist a “crisis” in the Obama administration?
I have never gotten the flu shot and may have had the flu one time, mildly. I was born in ‘68, so I believe I have some immunity to portions of most flu because the flu of ‘69 was bad. When viruses enter the body, your body develops immunity to several parts of the virus itself. Any flu virus that has that part will be fought off or at least well repressed. As you get older,immune responses decline,so maybe if I were older, yes. Then again, a declining immune response means I may receive a vaccine and be too slow to develop immunity or develop no immunity at all. Of course the vaccine in itself may cause incomplete immunity to flu because the portions in the vaccine may not represent the flu. I am looking into this “cytokine storm” because pandemic flu mortality *may* be linked to it. Still, going out into the sun a bit more often to boost my Vit D and taking an extra supplement every other day.
