Health Do you get the Flu Vaccination?

[JW Frogen]

In a past life I ate a nutrionaly balanced diet and rarely sick. When I started feeling symptoms come on mum would make me this soup full of vitamin c rich vegies and herbs.

Worked everytime.

And you died hit by a rouge Mongolian Yak, strangely for some reason in Central Park New York City.

I died way to young. Ahead of my time. Still am ahead of my time

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Probably should seeing as I always seem to like to get sick...

Fixed

 

[Feraligatr]

I get the Flu shot, not so much for me but to help protect those who are immunocomprimised and the elderly.

 

[Doss]

Are you a chemist?

Negative, Will Robinson.

 

[Taylor]

You have only had the flu one time?

You need to get out more.

I've never had the flu. At least not yet.

 

[Doss]

I've never had the flu. At least not yet.

That's not unusual. Some are lucky enough to never get it.

I've had it twice in almost 30 years of life - once when I was 7, and a decade later when I was 17. It's certainly nothing like the common cold, where if you go 12 months without at least a minor infection with it, you're doing very well.

Allot of people say that until they get the flu shot

You've had the flu twice and decided to inject chemicals into your body linked to serious health problems to avoid a third time

Smart

 

[Doss]

Oh, here we go.

The flu vaccine works (no where near as well as other vaccines but still) it improves your chances of not catching what is a very serious illness and reduces its severity if you are unfortunate enough to catch it.
Keep in mind that flu outbreaks have killed hundreds of millions of people and still continue to kill hundreds of thousands every year.

Although you are being administered an inert virus and probably a few trace chemicals as well this happens when you catch a train and drink a diet coke.

Have you seen the chemicals in soap?

Everything is made of matter so everything is a chemical

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I never used to, but I have young nieces now so for the next couple of years will make sure I do.

 

[Brad Goodman]

I doubt he bathes

 

[ChampTurboBucko]

I doubt he bathes

I can't believe you bathe. It's probably a massive big pharma conspiracy.

 

[revival_mode]

been getting it for the past 8 years through work. the one year i missed it i ended up bedridden for a fortnight - not much fun lol. i'm not really fussed either way but hey if its free & easy then why not?

 

[Bomberboyokay]

I’ve never worked in aged care before, but that’s staggering to think that an aged care facility wouldn’t offer it to their own staff. I would have thought for the safety of staff and patients the employer would arrange for it themselves, although not sure if they can force you to get it. Whichever Union is responsible for aged care should be all over that.

Probably a private place that fights tooth and nail against giving the staff anything.

 

[BG32]

Never had it, never got anything other than a 2 day "cold".

I've never had a flu shot or the flu and I'm a few years older than you. I used to get a cold about once a year but I reckon I haven't had one in 10 years. And I don't lead what is currently portrayed as a 'healthy lifestyle'.

Maybe I've been lucky. But there are so many variables in determining health outcomes. It's been shown that many public health messages turn out to be invalid.

 

[quotemokc]

Never had a flu shot and I have had the flu once or twice in 25 years, no big deal really.

My mother is a GP and she has never said that I should get one.

 

[Thegibbsgamble]

Studies in age care homes show drastic spikes in deaths immeaditley after mass flu vaccination programs.

Probably has allot more to do with it than your retort

In the end no two people are the same, I guess.

'Studies' hey?
Published in the Flat earth societies fine newsletter 'The tinfoil hat monthly' yeah?

Agreed

Hence why some people get alot sicker from the heavy metals injected straight into thier bloodstream from the flu vaccination, than others

An Australian study into the h1n1 vax given to strayan school kids found 1 out of 110 had convulsions.

To think the vax was ready to go the moment the virus escaped from the lab it was created in.

Imagine if you're a parent of one of those kids and you read this thread? To think there is mothers and father's with positions of responsibility on this forum supporting the trolls
