Agreed. I’ve never had a flu shot, none of my kids either, and we’ve never had the flu. My best friend is a nurse and warns against flu shots for the general population due to side effects (she says during her decade in hospitals she saw many more victims of the flu shot than the flu, that the shot’s illness is often worse than the flu itself). Add to that the fact that the flu shot is often a guess regarding strain and I tend strongly in her direction.
This is one of those occasions where I say, reading about that school in Queens, thank God for homeschooling and naturally strong immune systems!
Oh, and we are in agreement about the Steelers too. :)
If they could prevent a flu, they could prevent the common cold, and as far as I can determine, they can’t do that. Viruses can’t be treated with antibiotics either.
Not to mention wondering if the vaccine is safe or tainted...
Yes, love those Steelers. My husband is from North of Pittsburgh.
