For the record, I'm not against flu shots.

I'm against government making them mandatory.

My kids get flu shots because they spend half their days in the petrie dish known as public schools.
My wife is a teacher and used to get them religiously until she didn't about three years ago and hasn't since. Funny thing: she has missed LESS days in the last three years combined then she did any single year prior (due to illness).

Me?
Nobody gets close enough for me to catch anything.

"Nunca mas" will I be dragged into another mindless moronass, er morass.
Just heed the increasing numbers of developmental and immune issues as the vaccine schedule is pushed and even increased.


I was referring to rfenst who appears to love this sort of heated discussion, KidMD. Not me. I've already said what i had to say. Anything that happens to your children down the road is on your heads not mine. Do not vaccinate your children (pregnant and elderly as well) or at least avoid the flu and mmr. The rest of the poisons can be administered later when their immunity is stronger. There is no such thing as herd protection. That is a myth.

The flu shot makes me happy


I have to get the pneumo shot every other year. It's either that or monthly IGG infusions. For whatever reason the former sparks enough of a rise in my imunogloban g levels to avoid the latter.

I agree, i am not against anyone not getting the shot,
I don't believe in the gov mandating them either, my mission is to prevent disease and promote health, I arm people with the facts and let them make the decision....

BTW the last 3 years have been Super light flu seasons...we are due a Big One soon, this may be why she has stayed healthy...

And yes you are entitled to your opinion, that's what I protected with my 12 years of army service , Americans right to free speech, etc...

Btw, herd immunity is no myth....polio is a bout to be eradicated from the ENTIRE world thanks to my fellow ROTARIANS and herd immunity....

As with everything, there is an oppurtunity cost. Regardless, PhRMA loves vaccines. They're mandated and the makers are held harmless. Win-Win.

The funny part is the protections big pharma enjoy are the very same protections many are proposing as a way to curb health care costs in general.

Wait a second- do we really have some anti-vaccine people here? I had only read about them in books, thought they were just a very vocal rarity.

Have taken the flu vaccine every year since 1970 up until three years ago and have never had the flu. Cannot take as long as swine flu is in the mix. Once swine flu is dropped, I will go back to taking each year. Had a severe reaction to the swine flu vaccine in 76 or 77.

To each their own. Vaccines are a very personal decision. At this point in the game it cannot not be said if vaccines actually cause problems greater than those they are supposed prevent.

But, to anyone who wants to criticize a person's beliefs regarding vaccines I invite that person to walk a day in the shoes of those family members who care for severely disabled people. And after you walk in their shoes, spend a day or two in the shoes of one of those special needs persons.

annual flu shots at work for those that wanted them. close to 40% that got the shot ended up sick.

I have never gotten the flu shot and don't plan on getting one. have not had the flu in close to 20 years. Amazing what minerals and vitamins along with certain herbal (ginger, honey, lemon and cinnamon)remedies can do along with eating garlic and onions regularly can do
