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.

after catching the flu every year from my kids, I started taking the flu shot, but not until they made it with a killed virus. No live virus for me!

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.

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.

Vitamin D-3 supplements. I, my wife and three kids, and numerous neighbors have been taking those for years. My immediate family for 9 years.None of us gets the shots. None of us has got flu or colds since we started on the D-3, none at all.Wife is a primary school teacher. She used to bring home bugs three or four times every year even with the annual flu shots. I would get it once or twice from her. Now I take 10,000 mcg of the stuff daily and am flu free. Others in the group take 5k or even 20k. It is a sunshine thing which is why it is associated with the winter months. This past summer I did without because for the first time in 10 years I don't work at night so I get sunshine on my body. When it gets cold and you wear more clothes and the sun is at a weaker angle you don't get your vitamin D and you get flu and colds and bird flu and whatever is going around.

The stuff is CHEAP at WalMart and even cheaper on line. It is a depression cure, too. One daughter and two other women I know were manic depressive, one actually diagnosed as "bi-polar." None of the three take their medications any more and they have not the mood swings any more.

For many years I didn't get a flu shot, and it seemed every year I caught a bad combination flu/cold. Especially after visiting the grandkids who always seemed to be sick around the holidays. It seemed a few days after a visit, I'd come down with something horrible.

So last fall I finally gave in and got a flu shot. I haven't been sick one day since then. This is after years of getting extremely sick with something at least once every damn year. I am now a believer.

Why would you have a 9 year old get a flu shot?

I and about 20 others in the office got our flu shots a couple weeks back. No complaints from anyone.

Sooner or later, someone will have a reaction to just about anything. I’d rather take my chances with the shot than a flu - been there, done that. If a shot reduces the risk of catching some variant of flu by even 50%, it is worth the effort.

When I was younger, I swore I only got the flu in the years I got the flu shot. Now that I’ve aged, I get the shot every year. Spouse and I got ours in late August and no reaction whatsoever. 30-something son had last month and no problem.

My wife got hers and other than a sore arm for a week she had no obvious reaction. I found out years ago that when I get the shot I end up getting sicker and for longer than when I don't get it. Passed it up and just got over the first cold I've had since I passed up last years shot.

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

SHAME on those of you who endanger other people by not getting your flu shot. You make it real difficult for the pharmaceutical and medicine cartels to make an honest buck. /s

Back to reality...never had a flu shot, never will.

It would be more prudent IMHO for government to mandate Vit d3 testing for all...and make sure people are at good level in winter when most sickness occurs

We moved into a small Texas town in 1963 and lived there until .1979. As soon as our children started school we started experiencing the flu, every year.

I learned that when the children entered high school, if they had not missed a single day, they didn't have to take the final exams in May.

The kids went to school sick no matter what and passed their illnesses on to other kids who brought it home to the whole family.

I read somewhere later after we moved from there that Angleton Texas had the highest rate of flu in the whole state.

We started taking the flu vaccine and have never had the flu again.

There is always a small percentage of people who react to vaccines of any kind..

Often it’s a one off event as they never react again...

Our chemistry is a bit complex.

Having said that, I do not participate in the flu shot program as it messes with my immune system.
