Bad flu shots. Two people in San Angelo, TX recently got flu shots and were hospitalized the next day. One was a 9 year old girl who received a flu shot and was in critical condition in the hospital the next day. Another was a working woman who received the flu shot and was hospitalized the next day.
Wonder if this was a bad batch that was local or have there been other cases in Texas or nationally?
It’s one of those things that happens occasionally. Some people have a bad reaction.
Just my observation. That was your body’s reaction to a dead virus where you would not get the flu but become immune to it.
What would be your body’s reaction to the live virus?
San Angelo, TX | A 14-year old schoolgirl has suffered serious complications after a flu shot allegedly left the young girl terribly ill and with severe cramps, until the family doctor finally realized weeks later she had been impregnated by the vaccine, reports the Forth Worth Telegram this week.
After symptoms persisted several weeks, the distressed mother brought her child to the Whole Womans Health of Forth Worth medical clinic where she was found to be pregnant moments later.
A small number of people can get a severe allergic reaction to a flu shot. If they became ill immediately that’s likely what happened with them.
Influenza is serious lung disease. It’s not aches and pains and stomach symptoms that people often call the flu.
A really virulent hybrid animal/human flu like the 1918 bug can kill people within hours of first exhibiting symptoms. It leverages your immune system against you, triggering a cytokine storm and your own immune response drowns you.
The influenza vaccine is absolutely as credible as the gov’t cost of living numbers, and the unemployment rate.

I have low Vitamin D so I take pills for that
Please read my number 23.. Pregnant from the flu shot in San Angelo?
My father got the flu shot in November, 2002.
The next day, he got the sniffles.
The following day, my Dad was ice cold, and couldn’t even drink a glass of water without throwing up.
My sister rushed him to the ER, and my Dad was in the hospital for over a week with pneumonia and congestive heart failure. He nearly died, and never recovered 100%.
The head doctor blamed it on the flu shot.
That was tough for your Dad.
Do you know if anyone else got ill that got the shot at the same location ?
I’ve been lucky so far.
.
Nearly every time I got a flu shot, I was laying in bed a week later so sick I did not know whether to pray for healing or a quick merciful end.
Quit after getting them a few times and have not had anything more than just feeling thick and lethargic and feverish a few times.
A likely story ...
It’s just unfortunate for them.There are people who can be allergic to the ingredients that make up these injections.Sometimes you don’t know until you get that first immunization.
My father got the flu shot at a VA clinic here in Maine.
I don’t know if anyone else got sick as a result of those flu shots; it was nearly 13 years ago.
A young nurse at the hospital back in November, 2002 told me she got sick after getting the flu shot (at a different location).
Just recently, at a family practice clinic here in Maine, the receptionist asked the woman ahead of me at the check-in counter if she wanted a flu shot. The woman said, “No thanks. I got a flu shot last year and I got sick from it.”
I didn’t say I believed it. I googled San Angelo and flu shot looking for news related to this thread, and that crazy story came up.
Everyone has to go by their own conscience, but it seems to me that folks who still get government vaccinations really do not understand the evil in high places of our government. A simple lookup of John Holdren should be enough. And by the way, God says in the Bible that if we trust in Him, we will be protected from disease.
Two unrelated people in the same area suggests a bad lot number. This can mean all sorts of things, that it was not properly refrigerated all the time or otherwise improperly handled, would be the first guess. Second guess is that there was contamination in the syringes.
But an event like this really activates both the US Public Health Service and the FDA. They will not dilly-dally in tracing the source of the problem.
A few years ago I had the first reaction that I had ever had other than a sore arm.
The doctor concluded that my reaction was to the preservative in the vaccine.
That was About 3 or 4 years ago and I have not had any reaction since. Also I have not had the flu since taking flu shot.
Same here almost.......years ago I didn’t and got the flu......it was awful.
Strangely enough, after my flu shot this year I had about 3 days of fatigue off and on
I live in San Angelo. Got the shot two weeks ago at a local pharmacy. I always get it in town somewhere. Haven’t had the flu and had no reaction-—not even a sore arm— after the shot this year. Likely it was an allergic reaction. I bet you can find at least two people in any town of comparable size who have had an adverse flu shot reaction.
On one occasion I did have a slight reaction to a flu shot ... about an hour of some temperature spikes and achy muscles and joints , passed quickly.
