but the symptoms of a bad reaction to a vaccine are the same as “The flu” to a layperson.

Even the layperson wouldn't confuse one or two days of sore arm / low fever / tiredness with the flu. Unless that layperson has never had the flu before. The flu is vastly more severe than the side effects of the shot and lasts much longer.

Anyone having severe reaction to the flu shot probably is allergic to eggs. Are you allergic to eggs?

So? You can get a job at Merck, but when you refuse to acknowledge that an immunization can have a reaction that the layperson would call “the flu” i.e. respiratory reaction, you apparently either didn’t study past the pictures in the book or have never looked at real data on immunizations.

They can have a severe reaction if they are allergic to eggs. Are you allergic to eggs?

STOP telling people that it is impossible for them to have flu like symptoms as a reaction to a flu shot. You are not a doctor and not only is this wrong but it is unethical.

You're only going to have a severe reaction if you're allergic to eggs.

Trying to scare people away from the flu shot with woo is unethical. People can actually die of the flu. There's a safe shot that can lower the chances of that happening. Why woo-woos want to convince people to risk catching the real flu, I'll never understand.

No, many people have reactions that are much more severe. I’ve seen you and your mate disregard them.
You are NOT a physician. You are diagnosing those people who come onto threads and give their symptoms.

You’ve done it here
>>Anyone having severe reaction to the flu shot probably is allergic to eggs<<

Any of these vaccines and the CDC give a list of contraindications where a vaccine should not be repeated. Every one of them includes an allergic reaction. YOU are diagnosing that reaction and in turn, disregarding it.

It is not your place and unethical. Good luck if someone has a bad reaction on your advice. “I’m not a doctor.” won’t hold up in court. Especially with the amount of FReepers that can be contacted regarding the conversation.
