bitch at people who don't/won't cover their mouths and noses when they're hacking and sneezing in public ( I'll embarrass you if you're with me the way I yell at people lol)
Sheep you better get your vaccines, time is running out!
/sarcasm off
First off, there is no strain defined on what type of flu virus will be running around this year but yet you will be vaccinated with a best guess of what might work and lower your immune system at the same time by inoculating mercury at the same time and lowering your immune system to other things... like ebola.
Yeah I will pass.
This x 1000. What is it with the epidemic of stupid I am seeing recently. Bunch of ill bred losers. I can't believe how many people I am seeing coughing and sneezing without covering their mouths. Who raised these morons? I hope I make through cold and flu season without punching someone. This is a huge pet peeve for me.
Our family chooses not to vaccinate... but this situation is a game-changer... We might have to in order to avoid the ramifications of going to a doctor and automatically being labeled into the Ebola "pool".
DH and I both got the flu shot this year. DH gets one at work and I got one at CVS yesterday. I am feeling some general achiness and tenderness in my shoulder today, but an over the counter pain reliever takes away most of the discomfort. This is a typical side effect from a flu shot for me and goes away in a couple of days. I have not had the bad flu in many years and usually get an annual flu shot. I hope they guessed right on the flu strains that will be floating around this year.
I worked in big pharma for a long time before retiring and know first hand the quality control that goes into the manufacture of medicines, at least where I worked. I have confidence that the vaccines are safe. Pharma does not make money on vaccines, they are produced as a public service. They are lucky if they break even on the cost.
No, we won't be getting no flu shot.
And all y'all who do -- why the hell do you want to jump all over those of us who don't?
If you have your flu shot then we shouldn't be a problem to you, right?
Had one in 2000 along with 10 other vacs , felt lead to go on mission trip out of the country, 6 in one arm 5 in the other. Thought I was going to die. Will never get flu shot again!
BTW, I live in a climate with pretty weak sunshine, and I take 6,000 IU of D3 daily.

When someone advises me to get or ask me why I don't get flu a shot! My response is always this! "I wonder what the Ingredients are in that shot?" They always say! "I Don't Know" I say! "I 've made my case"Since the regular old fu is predicted to be a bad one this year, I believe getting a flu shot now will give you an edge to KEEP YOU OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!
No one needs to go near those places unless there is a dire emergency.
Give yourself an edge to avoid the serious consequences of flu, like pneumonia, that might drive you into a hospital.
I had one flu shot ever, in the fall of 1999 (for obvious reasons). Other than that, at no time in my adult life have I ever had the shot, nor have I ever had the flu as an adult. Of course that doesn't mean I won't ever get it, but all things considered, for me, I won't get the shot. I DID get the pneumonia vax though, because I have a propensity for bronchitis.
Get your flu shot now!
It was likely one of the other vaccines, or the combo of so many at once that lowered your immune system big time.
No, we won't be getting no flu shot.

Anyone have suggestions on which vitamins to take?
