To Flu Shot Or Not ???

[chezuki]

I've heard that's a good way to make INGOers heads explode

I knew a guy who got a flu shot and was dead less than a month after. He was killed by a drunk driver, which I've learned on INGO, is a victimless crime... unless of course there is a victim, which in this case there was... who had recently had a flu shot.

Don't be a victim, avoid flu shots!

Mind. BLOWN!

Also, and I realize this is a bit off topic, but I get a flu shot every year and I've never had the flu.

I've also been vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella, polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, and hepatitis B... oddly, I've also never had any of these diseases.

 

[Bluejeeper]

You must be doing something wrong if you've had all those vaccines and never gotten any of them. I heard on INGO that not how it works

Merely a coincidence.

The thing is...I've literally been in the lab and have done tests on Afluria. I literally know for a fact what is in it...but it doesn't even matter.

I got a flu shot, and suddenly I could not longer bear even just looking at Glocks.

Not for me or my kids. I had them before and they made me sick as hell. Take care of yourself. Eat sleep and take a vitamin.

I second this , every time I get a flu shot I get sick as a dog, so I don't get them anymore just not worth the risk.

That's because the flu shot contains live Ebola cultures.

This thread is taking a turn towards rational, I must derail it! Innocent people could read this garbage and decide to get a flu shot!

NO BODY ASKED YOU!


Honestly though, what I'm really trying to get at is the level of misinformation and ignorance out there.

I was on base active duty at the time. Yes, confirmed.

my three patients with influenza in the last two weeks all had flu shots.

usually it's for a day or two. Your body thinks you have the flu since it sees the proteins and mounts an immune response. Fevers, chills, body aches, etc. All part of the joy of creating antibodies. It means your shot works.

I used to think I knew flu shots were BS. I never get the flu so why have one mentality. Then I watched a documentary on immunizations and it caused me to rethink it. So I asked my trusted 30+ year nurse friend, my family Dr and another well seasoned nurse. All agree that the flu immunization works very well, is safe and they suggest getting one every year. They also suggest the same on the shingles immunization. So I have had a flu shot and had zero side effects. The needle is very tiny and you almost feel nothing. All of the flu shots are the same wheather your doctor gives it to you or you go to a Kroger pharmacy. Same stuff. I used Kroger because they have the ability to tell you immediately if there is a fee. My meger insurance covered it 100%. With no insurance the cost is between $16 at Sams and $35 at CVS. If you have not had the flu you are not a bad Jose, just lucky.

Its been 2 weeks since I got a flu shot. I am still alive and haven't gotten the flu.

Last year I was badly sick with the flu for over 3 weeks, like hospitalized sick. Bad deal.

I got the shot Monday morning, the first one in 15 years. As I remember, that one made me sick. This shot also made me sick. By 6pm Monday I felt terrible, and weak. Tuesday I could barely function, spent the day napping, never leaving the house. I ached EVERYWHERE. Even the backs of my fingernails hurt. Wednesday I started feeling some better, and ran some errands. Even well dressed, I could not stay warm. (which in fairness, I have serious heart desease, so that affects my cold endurance also) Today, I am still feeling sluggish and my joints hurt. Never got a temperature or upset stomach.

If I end up getting the flu this year, in spite of the difficulty dealing with the vaccination, this year will be the last flu shot I ever receive.

The average INGOer is more resistant to that explosion than the average person occupying the USA!

Hush, you!

Still not convinced. I am a healthy adult, I seldom get sick. I plan to keep it that way. No shots for me.
