People with flu must not be allowed to infect our society.

Now's their chance to try out those FEMA detention centers. Lock 'em up for the sake of the children!

I got unhappy news last night a family acquaintance died of flu shot reaction. 50 years old and as far as I know healthy.

Know someone who got very sick shortly after the flu shot. There appears to be problems with the flu shot this year. Don't hold your breath waiting for the MSM to investigate the problem. Not much of a stretch to assume the Marxist are using the flu shot to carry out a Ukraine Starvation type of answer to their entitlement problem.

Have not had the flu yet this season, but it has tried a few times to get me. My trick. And you may find this funny. Chocolate milk. Next time you feel a sore throat starting, drink some chocolate milk. The sore throat will disappear instantly.

Diluted apple cider vinegar works great for sore throats. A zinc tablet for prevention to boost the immune system and I haven’t had the flu in 20+ years. The last time was when I did get was from a co-worker who got it from the flu shot. He was so mad he swore he’d never get another.

I’m with you. Seems anyone I’ve ever known who’s gotten a flu shot has gotten the flu. I’ve never had the shot (won’t get it, either) and have never had the flu.

It is amazing, isn't it? I started about 2 1/2 years ago. Got my first cold earlier this winter since I started. I normally get a couple--so I attribute the improvement to that, as I haven't started large or regular doses of any other herb or vitamin.
