    Who gives a shit how they are making their money? It isn't from the flu shot recipients. You can get them free every year. Do you even have any figures or sources for that statement, or this this just more of your anti corporation bullshit that you usually spout?

    Que??? Would you prefer they go broke??

    Plus I think Texter means that most insurance covers it since it's a good long term play by the insurance companies and saves money in the long run.

    They told my wife she had to have a flu shot when she was pregnant, and she got sicker then ever in her life with flu like symptoms I know they say you cant get the flu from the flu shot, but you can get flu like symptoms...lol what a fuckin joke.

    Since then she never had another shot and coincidently never got the flu again. I've never had the flu shot since Im a man, and I've never had the flu. If you eat fruits and vegetables you wont ever get sick.

    I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I think they give that damn shot to people knowing its going to give alot of people the flu, and help to flood the drs offices and hospitals. Its kinda like a tax refund check to boost the medical economy.

    Shit like this is the problem people say I get the shot and never get the flu. Great, but why not build up the resistance in your body on its own, and you will be alot healthier in general. Its not your fault weve been brainwashed for years by the government on issues like this and especially on food.

    The reasons you would need to get flu shot, your old, tend to have a cold or flu turn into pneumonia, previous and current lung problems TB in particular, low immune system.
    This would be the reason you may want to get a flu shot, nurses, doctors, resturant server or some one who would have direct contact with the public at large.
    Positive thinking and vitamins, coldfx works I think, but if you get sic easily or takes a long time to recover I would get one. You are late as this kind of thing gets administered in the fall.

    Im just going to roll the bones and hope I dont get sick, but if I do, its a quick 5 pound weight loss plan.
    That's the effect of fever you are talking about. Interestingly enough I have taken a fat burner that basically mimics the effect of fever on the body and it cuts about a pound of bodyfat every single day you take it. I find things like that fascinating, to you boring but whatever.
    LOL at you trying DNP, healt guru moron tries some of the most dangerous substanses around, even hardcore bodybuilders are iffy about taking something that was developed to set of explosives

    I've never taken the shot, although it seems to work for some. I rarely ever get sick and have only had the flu like once in my life, I usually just catch a cold for a day or two and sleep it off. If everything is going well and you haven't been taking the shot then why bother? Although as we age your immune system might be more suspect to catching something.

    Is that confirmed? Dude was taken out of the team meeting on a gurney. That's some serious flu right there.

    A friend of ours was going through chemo for cancer a few years ago and getting the flu shot was a requirement of going to see him. They didn't ask for proof or anything obv, but we were all told it was a must.

    One thing that confuses this whole issue is that a lot of people who get any type of coughing/sneezing cold say they have the flu. The flu brings the pain when it comes. The flu ain't the common cold, and a lot of people make no distinction between the two.

    Ain't that the truth. I can't imagine anyone who has suffered from influenza at any time in their life not getting the shot.

    Where I'm from it was just reported that there have been 738 confirmed cases of the flu(the ones that they are actually immunizing for) out of a population of about 4 million since September. You have a better chance of coming down with flu like symptoms from taking the shot than by actually contracting it the old fashioned way. Granted, the symptoms aren't as bad but still can be pretty severe in some cases. People like to think they have/had the flu when, in fact, it's the common cold.

    A few years back they were pushing meningitis immunization like it was some real threat to everyone's life when there were less than 300 cases confirmed in the whole population & only a relatively small amount of deaths.

    I don't prescribe to the fear-mongering & prefer to play the odds since they are so stacked in my favor. I live in a work camp with a buffet style dining for half the time & when someone gets sick inevitably more do too. I still like my odds since I take precautions & will forgo the flu shot unless my employer arranges for it & tells me I have to get it.
