flu shots are just silly
-
Kinda makes ya go...... hmmmm
Might get one this year, we are over due and thats something I heard for the last few years about hurricanes.
Note where I live... ouch!
-
Didn't feel like doing my part to make a super virus.
-
Never had one in my entire life. Not sure why I should start.
-
You should not start. Your imune system is better off in the long run if you let it handle things like this.
-
I'm not really advocating a flu shot. I've never gotten one either. Never felt the need. Thought about one as I read what the doctors and scientist want to do that's for sure.
Essentially my remark was more a reflection of my concern that there is a group which wants to cultivate and study the influenza virus from the 1918 pandemic. In a major US city to boot! Reports on the 1918-1919 outbreak say 20-40 milion died. that's no common cold they're playing with.

Shot? My doctors been giving me suppositories...

Doc Ameristalk?

nope, and im not gonna get one either. the worst that can happen (nowadays anyway) is a week of feeling ****ty, only 1 of which is bad enough to stop you from doing anything.
of course it takes about me about 1-2 weeks after any illness breaks out to get it, and when i do im down for less than half the time as anyone else. presumably because most light colds and the like i merely ignore, or treat any annoying symptoms (havea cold right now, just drink peppermint tea every now and again to keep my nose clear, and drinking small amounts of RealLemon(tm) everynow and again to kill the sore throat.)
-
I've never gotten a flu shot or a flu for that matter. They just don't affect me.
However, a Cold will drop me like a rock out of a 3 story window. If there was a vaccine for colds I'd be first in line.
-
Doctor: Have you ever had an adverse reaction to this medication?
Me: Yes, as a matter of fact. I got the flu.

they never will have a vaccine for colds.
like the flu, colds mutate, but a lot faster than flu does.
and there is nothing wrong with getting a flu shot, unless you are allergic to the components in the vaccine.
one other thing, the vaccine for flu, will not protect anyone from the 1918 version of the virus unless it is made from the 1918 virus.
and as some pointed out, it may not be a flu virus.
oh and the flu shot won't give you the flu, if properly prepared.
the symptoms will be like a mild case of flu because your immune system is attacking dead virus. that is the way the body builds up immunity

lol I was typing a long reply and spell checking when you threw this in.
this is a common misconception.

Read the link. This isn't about annual flu shots. It's about reviving the 1918 worldwide killer flu epidemic bug in the name of "research."
First reaction: Let sleeping dogs (bugs) lie.
Second reaction: Oh good, give terrorists another target.
We've seen this movie before -- "Go ahead, sweetheart, pull the stake out of the monster's heart. It's okay, it's ... dead ..."

Hold the phone a min here the idea may have some merit.
First we can infect one of these detainiees we have down in guantanimo. Then we can let him go home. Hell we can let a couple go home to their perspective countries Such as Iraq,Sadia Arabia.
Hell maybe we can even send one to France LOL

Your soldiers comes home from middle east and boom.. you have it in america. smart :rolleyes:
Even the most radical leaders up to date have stayed away from biological warfare which involves infectious bacterias or viruses, because those simply cannot be limited to certain areas.
Unpredictable at the best.
You don't want to kill yourself with those...
Doesn't matter that much after your own people are infected with it, which explains the biological warfare in the past.
Like catapulting dead bodies to the enemy fort or giving infected material to indians.
