Capn Circus posted... a long with the risks of it making you sick for a few days after taking it I've never gotten a flu shot and not been epically ill three days later. Exactly. It's a pharmaceutical sham with false hopes and empty promises. If you're autoimmune compromised and it's a life or death situation, fine, take it. But the way it's being advertised shoved down people's throats is a sin. It doesn't work. It makes people sick. It has a chance of paralyzing people. I've known so many people who take the flu shot, or who have taken it. Some get the flu anyway. Others, it's made them sick. And then some don't get the flu---but guess what? Either do I. I don't think there's anyone I've ever met that says they religiously take the flu shot and never get the flu. And if that's true, great---but I don't get the flu either. --- "I think that man will be president right about the time when spaceships come down filled with dinosaurs in red capes" - Tom Hanks <cite>Capn Circus posted [p:895345125] in Is it even...

Super Saiyan 3 Goku 02/02/18 9:13:39 PM #7:	This year's flu vaccine is something like 10% effective against the H3N2 strain that's making headlines now and about 33% effective overall. Experts still say it's a good idea to get vaccinated anyway since it'll reduce your risk of getting influenza. It'll also lessen the severity of the illness even if you do contract it. But as you said, allow a couple weeks for your immune system to develop antibodies to the virus after vaccination for full effect. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius <cite>Super Saiyan 3 Goku posted [p:895345164] in Is it even...
