So many people I know from PA have already had theirs and no reaction. I don’t get them.
Flu Shot?? AHHHH...no thanks
Didnt get the flu shot last year, didnt get sick Thank God..and I wont be getting it again this year. I will take my chances with the flu. My Mom will get it since she is older so she is more likely to experience complications from the flu. Besides, Im a big chicken I hate needles
One of my folks in Seattle got a flu shot and promptly came down with the flu.
My Dad was a general Practioner for 50 some odd years, delivered over 3000 babies, lost 2.
The only time he got the flu, or was even sick, for that matter was in 1956 when the Navy made him take a flu shot.
My family takes 10,000 mgs of Vitamin D all winter… it’s dark here.
3000 mgs Vitamin C all winter..did I say it’s dark here? LOL
We eat a lot of Garlic and Onions and we are never sick..
Except for the odd tummy bugs that everyone gets from not washing their hands.
Billary tied up the vaccine industry in 93/94.
Anyone who believes in the CDC or NHI needs to be a bit more skeptical.
Just sayin.
Have gotten a flu shot every year for the last 20+ years except for one ... guess which year I go the flu (most miserable days of my life)? Rather take my chances with the flu shot then without.
I got one the other day and had a fairly high fever that night and early the next morning.
I may skip it next time.
We got the shot in Texas a few days ago, and so far, all is good.
I get my flu shot every year. I used to get a minor irritation in the muscle for a day or so, but for some time I haven’t had any reaction at all.
And with one thing and another, I get stuck with needles pretty often, so I barely notice them any more. The nurses at our local hospital are really good at it.
Two days later I felt a little under the weather, just fought the feeling off and felt better by the next day.
Could be they have an allergy to eggs or something else in the vaccine.
My ONLY flu shot was in 72 while in the USAF.
Probably not a bad batch as much as the recipients were likely allergic to egg yolks, a key ingredient. There are warnings about allergic reactions which can cause Bell’s palsy or other issues.
It’s one of those things that happens occasionally. Some people have a bad reaction.
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.

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.
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.
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.
