>>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.<<
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.
