Flu Shot or NO

Well, she went back into a coma, they were going to give her painkillers before turning off the machine but she died while still hooked to the machine, before they could administer any drugs.. So yeah, two day's after getting the flu shot she got really sick, the illness was from the flu shot, the death was from the illness! so be wary!!! flu vaccination's can be deadly.

Sorry to hear that cauzomb. That right there is another reason I stay away from it.

I look at the flu shot the same way as tylenol, sinus pills, and other meds.

I avoid them until I absolutely need them. If I get a headache, I live with it until it hurts so bad i cant concentrate. Why take something that I dont need.

I get a flu shot every year (madated by the county)
Never gotten sick from it
It's a personal choice really (unless you work were I work) I have never had any problems with them.

I get one every year it hasnt bothered me yet where I work its in my best interest to get it.

I read an article earlier today that was in the Mercury news last Friday. It stated that California has "temporary" lifted a ban on administering the flu vacination containing a mercury laced preservative to infants under the age of 3, claiming that there is a shortage of the vacination that does not have the mercury laced preservative. Incase you don't know mercury is toxic, and the vacine manufacturers are saying that there isn't a shortage of the preservative free vacination. This leads to speculation that the state wants to liquidate it's remaining stock of it's older vacination containing the toxic element, probably to save money on the proper disposal of 500 thousand doses of mercury laced vacines? This could be grounds for a class action suit :P

Let's hope that the trace amount of mercury isn't enough to cause any ill effects in the people that are recieving the vaccination, especially since they are too young to voice their own opinion regarding what goes in their body. Lets hope their parents are aware of this and have their own sense about them to refuse the mercury laced vacines.

Army says we dont have a choice, so yes. And no I didn't get sick, but then we rarely do. It's amazeing what doing PT every work day of the week will do for you.

they had them here at work last week, they apparently use a dead virus now as opposed to the weak, live one they used to.

Still doesn't make me want one

From what I heard, flu shots could help those with naturally weak immune system but for most people or those who never get sick, flu shots do not make too much sense. But the key thing with the flu shots is, you either never take any or take it every year, otherwise it doesn't do much or any good...

Get adequate sleep, eat well, do not stress to much or find ways to relieve stress, wash/disinfect your hands several times a day, do not stay in confined places during flu seasons with people who appeared to be sick and you should be fine.
