There is junk science that has influenced parents to do the wrong thing and not get their kids vaccinated. Vaccines have been somehow linked to autism and some parents refuse to allow them.


Ridiculous

I agree.

I've never had one, and as far as I know, the last time I had the flu was in 1984.

Yeah I'm with the screw the flu shot arguement. My wife guilted me into one several years ago and guess what three days later I had the flu. One of the only times in my life I had it. There are so many strains of influenza and you are only being vaccinated for the strains that are popular this year.

I have had it three times since 84 and once as a kid.

Flu shots are nothing but a money maker for the investor class. I believe we are the only country on earth that "pushes" this stuff on the general populous. It is only effect 50% of the time or less and that is only if you happen to have been vaccinated for the particular strain you come into contact with.

Between all the shots pushed and the crap they put in food they are doing an excellent job of keeping us sick here in the US.

Maybe that should be a new thread for the conspiracy section.......

I don't believe you guys. Let's say the flu shots only work 50% of the time. So a 50% reduction in your chance of feeling crappy for a week ain't worth $25.00 (or nothing, with most insurance?)

You were just unlucky, Rex E. You'd already caught the stuff when you got your shot.
