I just got the email in my firm email account saying the flu shot lady will be here October 25th for our annual flu shots. And like I do every year, I got bugged by it and start reading up on it again. And every year I learn more new information. I know that the CDC highly endorses it saying in bold letters that The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year.. Now, I read that and immediately my critical mind begins asking "but there is NO proof whatsoever that flu shots prevent flu" or "being a government agency like the FDA, FCC, or DHS, they are as easily influenced as are the politicians who run things. And since fear mongering works (1974 when there wasn't fear mongering going on, we turned down such vaccination hype) these days, people are taking shots like mad, like they'll die if they don't!
For me and my obviously pre-shaped opinion, I don't believe the WHO's recipe for this years flu shot will prevent me from getting whatever strains of the virus appear this fall/winter. They literally pick and chose which strains they "think" will appear and put together a cocktail of toxins, grow it in a chicken egg, and stick it in your arm and make buckoo bucks off of you, while you walk out of that clinic feeling invincible! Therefore, my family and I have not taken flu shots EVER and will likely never take them. Of course we also wash our hands, we don't lick door knobs or stand in front of people who sneeze. And, I have psoriasis so i have a hyperactive immune system and i almost never get sick (1997 was last time I got a viral sickness).
Your thoughts? Testimonials? Do you find you get sicker when you take the vaccine? Do you think you didn't get the flu because you took the shot?
