first, best, biggest!

It knocked my Rick in the dirt over the past week. Body aches, chills, sweats, fever, sore throat and headache.
My Doc said he started to see positive test for the flu last week. Normally I wait until October😩
The buzzards were flying over my house I can tell you🤕

Haven’t had one in 14 years.

This isn't the BJ thread.

I did get my flu shot and was still sick as a dog. Last week was a nightmare and I'm still getting over it. Buy ammo and stockpile food because this may be the big one. The Zombie Apocalypse may be upon us. If we're lucky this may wipe out every SJW on the planet. Everyone know's those pasty ****'s have weak constitutions. Only a matter of time before they start eating eachother.

Thanks for the reminder, getting mine next week. Haven't had a bad reaction to one yet. Lucky so far.

You could still get a serious infection and die...

No, no it isn't.

Every year in the Navy I got a Flu shot, every year I got sick. And I wasn't the only one. After I retired I refused to get the damn things for that very reason. My sister, the smarter than everyone nurse said the same thing you just did. I told her she was wrong too and I wasn't getting the damned things. I didn't, and never did get the flu nor the fever and chills thing.

But, when the grand-kids moved in with us and the whole grade school petri dish incubator parallel thing occurred to me, I got one. I figured better safe than sorry as that strain was pretty ugly. Sure as crap I got sick, same reaction I've always had. I was sitting in a corner at work wrapped up in my jacket trying to stay warm and pounding water. Went home with a fever and slept for 2 days. Then I ended up catching the flu anygoddamned way!

Thus, I don't really give a tinkers damn what the "experts" think, the damned things make me sick. Fever, chills, the whole nine yards for anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. They always have, they always do. Cause and effect. It is what it is, but's it is reality, at least in my world.

So. Have a nice day.

they do not use live viruses in the flu shot anymore so the odds are virtually zero of the shot causing the flu.
they do use live but attenuated (I think that's the word for weakened) viruses in the nasal spray, but still almost immeasurable odds of it causing the flu due to said weakening.

however many can get the flu even after receiving the shot if the mixture for that season predicted the wrong strain emerging as the dominant problem version.
In order to get enough doses produced in time, they have to make an educated guess as to which strain will emerge (once it hits, it's way too late)...so one can get a flu shot and come down with a different strain or version.

still worth it even if the odds dip as low as 25%.

For the live attenuated viruses, I don't believe they are really infectious at all. It's been too many years but I used to work in the facility that packaged those every season. I remember looking at some documentation regarding how they were attenuated, and if I recall correctly, it really could not become infectious under any expected circumstances.

But again, the live attenuated viruses are only the nasal spray.

Feeling unwell = sick.

Do you parse and quibble every single freaking point?

Dude, being an adult means you don't have to post. It's my view, I'm keeping, I do not care about yours.

Have a nice day.

Holy shiite.

I used to get a negative reaction to flu shots...but not since the mid -90's....no idea why...

but I do get the shot every year

Chill dude. There is a lot of misinformation about vaccines out there, there were a number of cbid members years ago that believed all sorts of nonsense about vaccines, from that they cause autism to that they were responsible for some unknown ailments they had later in life. I have no idea who you are or what level of knowledge you have about them, so I err on the side of caution. This is why I wanted to be very specific.

I wonder if Bloody is still sexually assaulting chikens..

And assorted waterfowl...

Definitely the apocalypse...

If loving you is right I'd rather be wrong..


If you're talking physical stuff...

Depends.

If there's fecal matter involved, that's an entirely different matter.
And that ain't right

he does seem reliable enough to know how he felt.
