I think I was very lucky - I had a touch of flu a few weeks ago. It was mild and only lasted 24 hours. Hopefully I have some immunity somewhere. Worry a lot since my mother is at home in Hospice. She wouldn’t last a day with this.

You failed to mention all the other species that also get the flu and the vaccine as a preventive. Nobody pimps big pharma. You won’t answer questions because you take what, the 5th amendment—how is that a debate? Such an asinine comment as if pharmaceuticals have no roll in treatment, that’s not just ignorant but stupid and anti capitalist crap promoted on every leftist blog in the atmosphere.

It’s clear you are not a scientist of any sort. You won’t even admit to what you do for a living. How many vaccines have you delivered in your entire life? No one is forcing you to buy pharmaceuticals but you pretending to be an expert is insultingly transparent.

Did you click on, and read, the Huffington Post article? I thought not.

My qualifications are irrelevant to you as I have only presented as evidence other people's work. I refuse to fall into the trap of your "Appeal to Authority" logical fallacy. No matter my qualifications, you either won't concede to them or will argue they are insufficient. So I do not. Instead, I refer to the work of other professionals, predominantly researchers. I understand that must be immensely frustrating for you.

But if you have a problem with the qualifications of those who work at the American Lung Associations, the Centers for Disease Control, the American Journal of Public Health, the Huffington Post, or anyone whose worked I have cited for that matter ... feel free to take it up with them.

"as if pharmaceuticals have no roll in treatment" ... such a Straw Man argument. You really need to brush up on your debate logical fallacies. Perhaps you are correct : this is not a debate. It cannot be a debate if you don't know how.

The CDC recommends flu vax. It’s as simple as that yet you pretend to know otherwise. There is no debate with Luddites since there is no understanding of evidence based science. The huff po is left wing nonsense.

All right, everybody should be busy deleting the porn off their computers about now.

the truth that I’ve known forever for 30 years and the proof I have is none of my children have ever been sick nor has my wife. Ever””

Wow. A couple of thoughts here. First off, every one of you will get sick. I am willing to wager a very large sum of cash on that fact. Second, do you plan to live forever? Look up the toxicity of silver.

The depth of your reasoning and logical capability comes clearly into focus for all.
Thank you, this has been fun.

You might also try the Mayo clinic site, or for that matter, any AMA accredited hospital only to find they all recommend flu vaccination. Just because you proclaim yourself the expert doesn’t make it so. I can see you were an average student that mostly made C grades on your tests, swearing No, I am the expert and my answer, above all common sense, is right. All of the board certified experts are wrong. So, you cite some blog with the answer you say is correct. I’ve seen your type before.

Influenza is also a cause of pneumonia independent of secondary bacterial infection. The nastiest secondary pneumonia however is staph, which has a known association with influenza. Necrotizing pneumonia’s such as staph are some of the worst....

Point to where I've proclaimed myself an expert, or be known a liar.

Pneumococcal in general is not a passing fancy, nor is Pasteurella, or BRD. Every animal I’ve ever treated for pneumonia has been in very bad shape, viral or bacterial. Thanks for your comments. I see the downside of the Internet, when people get their advice from blogs hawking some new cure, or some new thought on bad Big Medicine, or Big Pharma, or just anything Big.

"Liar" you are then, with another ad hominem thrown in as an exclamation point. I'm sure you have redeeming qualities, else you wouldn't be here on FR. Honesty, willingness to read, and ability to think independently just don't appear to be among them. I'll have to look forward to seeing what they might be. Thanks for pinging me to this thread.
