Because healthy, youngish individuals should avoid putting anything produced in laboratories in their bodies at all costs and they face little risks if they get flu.
The groups I mentioned may have increased risk of 'complications' from influenza so getting a shot is better justified.
I'm not a doctor though.
On the other hand that means I don't get paid by companies producing these 'flu shots'.
-
I mentioned this in another thread about the flu. I used to get the flu 1-2 times a year. This is my wifes and my 5th year for the shot and neither of us have gotten it since that first shot. We are in the Midwest where the flu is very common. I also travel all over the US and I am on planes and in hotels all the time. Those are havens for the flu bug.
I strongly suggest you get one.
-
Never.
Too many lab rats out there already.
-
no, you never want to take a government mandated vaccine, the flu shot is a way the gov can inject you with a deadly strain virus, never take a vaccine ever. research vaccination programs, then you will find out a whole hell of alot.
-
I Get it every year. And I'm happy I do! It really does help!
-
I strongly recommend washing your hands.
And taking tablespoon of honey a day is very good way to survive the flu wave.

I just researched "vaccination programs" per your request. Everything I read is very promising and positive. Could you please provide some evidentual links to the govt trying to inject us with this deadly strain virus you speak of? :D
-
so the government is putting wierd shit in flu vaccines for what purpose again?
::)

Why honey? Sounds like falcon-logic (not always a bad thing)
-
i work in healthcare so i'd be stupid not too
-
Do you get one? ???
Only brainwashed idiots get one. HTH
-
nope I take the flu like a man >:(
the flu shot probably has more negative sides than the flu itself anyways.
-
Why the hate? thanks (in part) to modern medicine, we live longer now than anytime in history. but mention a vaccine and the tin foil hats come out ???
editted for retarded spelling

Wow, i'm at a loss for words. That certainly is damning evidence. I had no idea. :-\

This can indeed be falconish as I have inherited the habit of consuming honey from my parents and was always touted how good it is for your health.
But there is some truth in this from what I have read and heard.
Also remember that in the Bible, Salomon advocates "My son, eat thou honey, for it is good."

If you're going to subscribe to that thought, then it should be LOCAL (to you) raw honey, not the generic processed stuff at the grocer.

Ditto for me.

Always get a flu shot.
If more people did we would be better off.

Add 'conspiracy theory' to your search and you will find what he's alluding to.

Ive had the flu for the last week.
epic cuts and fat loss
get your flu shots
-

Thanks for the advice, but I'll pass even though I am technically an old person. I don't remember ever having the flu. -Never had a flu shot either.
-
I will get one this year for the first time. My client is a doctor and she is usually against it because hits hit or miss with the strain. But she said this year they have a perfect match to the strain of flu that's going around. My son, wife and myself will get one. She said the peak won't be for at least 3-4 weeks, by then the vaccine will be kicked in.

Yes. every year. makes me feel ind of lethargic the few first days after the shot
-
I don't believe in them and will never get one. There are different strains of the flu/virus, so a shot only works for that particular strain. Why put the disease into the body...I don't see the point.

This is a pretty solid read.
12 Tips for Avoiding the Flu (without a flu shot)
Know when flu season occurs. Most people know that the flu generally peaks during January to February of each year, but the actual duration and intensity of each year’s flu season fluctuates. You can monitor the current situation in the U.S. by visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website. During peak times, avoid spending time in public places whenever possible and avoid visiting the doctor’s office, hospital, nursing home, airport, and shopping centers. Avoid flying, taking elevators, and sharing transportation (like taxi cabs and the bus) during peak times. Avoid any close confined space with others during the flu season.
Handwashing is the all-purpose disease preventer and is effective in limiting the spread of the flu in most cases. Wash with soap (antibacterial soap isn’t necessary) and warm water for a full 20-30 seconds. Include your fingernails, the backs of your hands, and in between fingers. Keep your nails short, use a nailbrush when washing, and avoid wearing rings if possible. (Artificial nails are a breeding ground for germs, and should be removed if you are concerned about contracting or passing on the flu.) Read about the CDC’s guidelines for washing your hands to make sure you are washing properly to prevent the spread of disease. Teach kids to wash properly and encourage your co-workers to wash as well. Keep hand sanitizers readily available during flu season and offer it to others often.
Regularly disinfect doorknobs, the telephone, light switches, car keys, the fridge door, faucets, and the toilet to help stop the spread of germs. Often, you can pass on the flu bug before you even know you are infected, so regular cleaning during flu season helps lessen your chances of picking up a bug.
Avoid public restrooms whenever possible. Don’t put your purse, briefcase, computer case, or backpack on the floor – ever. The floor is contaminated with all kinds of germs. (We cultured the bottom of our shoes worn only in the nursing lab during nursing school and came up with Chlamydia (an STD), dozens of strains of Staphylococcus (commonly found in infected wounds), that year’s flu virus, and a whole host of other disgusting bugs.)
Take off your shoes at the door. Keep a separate pair of indoor shoes or slippers to be worn around the house to prevent tracking germs from the outside world into your home.
Open public doors with a paper towel, handkerchief, or your rear end whenever possible – not your bare hands.
Wash your hands thoroughly before applying makeup, putting in contact lenses, after blowing your nose or sneezing, and before eating.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth at all costs. Don’t chew on pencils, pens, your fingernails, or other non-food items. Clean the outside of canned goods with hot soapy water before opening and wash your hands after touching any food packaging when preparing meals.
Clean the shopping cart handle with a disinfectant and wash immediately after handling money. Disinfect your hands after using the ATM, the gas pump, after petting animals, and after collecting the daily mail.
Take care of your body during flu season with plenty of rest, a balanced diet, and lots of water and exercise. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables during the flu season – 50% of each meal should be comprised of fruits and veggies. Take a high-quality, liquid multivitamin everyday. (Yes, it should be a LIQUID, not a pill, for better absorption.)
De-stress. Stress is possibly the leading contributing factor to any illness. Exercise, take time for R&R, and spend quiet time alone to reduce your stress levels every day. Get counseling and deal with any unresolved issues in your close personal relationships.
Try a little alcohol. While drinking alcohol isn’t found on any doctor’s advice sheet, hordes of my patients over the years swear by the power of alcohol to fend off sickness. (Think of the old home remedy of making Hot Toddies for colds and fevers.) Vodka and fruit juices (like grapefruit or orange) are favorite home remedies for preventing the flu.

Also it's taking a risk when eating at a smorgsaboard, where other people have breathed all over the dishes. If you want to avoid the flu, then avoid any large crowds and always wash your hands after training at the gym before you do any food preparation at home. Never touch your face especially your nose and mouth.

Do you find not touching your nose difficult at the moment? Another thing to not touch is your eyes, BTW.

No I have never touched my nose, so now that I have had my op it's not something I am in the habit of doing. I might do some nose massages which the surgeon showed me to help bring my swelling down but I always wash my hands first and I am at home when I do them.

Your good. I am fidgety and so I am always touching my face. It's a bad habit I know, but I have survived it for 68 years so far. I am good about washing my hands, which is something you learn to do when you work in a school full of children. I do think a lot of people today have a phobia about germs. Germs are everywhere, if a person thinks they can really protect themselves from exposure, they are kidding themselves. Unless one has compromised health a few germs are probably healthy because they allow you to develop immunity.
When I first started working at the school, I caught everything (it seemed) from the kids. After the first year, I had developed some immunity and rarely got sick. One thing I learned is that allergies can compromised ones health. For several years, I took Singulair which helps control allergies. When you are having an allergic reaction, it weakens your system and makes you more susceptible to catching things....in my case, colds

I've wondered about that! It kills germs, why shouldn't it fight sickness?
???
-
My wife and I have different opinions on this; she and the kids get them every year and I NEVER have gotten the vaccination. I'm rarely sick. And I have a recurring habit of nervous nail biting that has probably exposed me to so many microorganisms that I've developed natural immunities. Fuck, who knows for sure?

Rubbing alcohol will kill both germs and viruses on surfaces outside the human body as well as on our skin. Alcohol is pretty ineffective at killing germs or viruses inside our bodies. One definitely should not ingest rubbing alcohol because it has been known to kill the host, which is you! Having a drink or two may make you feel better and even help you sleep if you are ill. I don't believe it has any significant effect on germs or viruses inside our bodies. Furthermore, too much alcohol actually weakens the immune system, making folks more susceptible to getting ill.

An article in the Sunday paper today was about healthcare workers and flu shots. Apparently, flu shots are mandated by law in some states if you work in the healthcare industry. Some people in these states and in hospitals in other states have been terminated for refusing to get the flu shot. In some locations, if a healthcare worker has not been vaccinated against the flu, they are required to wear a mask while at work for the patients protection.
This all seems pretty outrageous until you consider that there are already laws on the books which require not just healthcare workers but all citizens to be vaccinated against certain diseases, such as small pox, mumps and measles. If one has religious reasons for not having vaccinations, they can sometimes avoid them. I find this interesting since there is a religious sect here in Oregon that does not believe in medical care what-so-ever. Recently, there have been minors, children of the people in this sect, who have gotten sick and either died or whose health was seriously compromised. The parents were charge with child neglect and prosecuted in court. In every case the parents lost the case and some ended up in prison. The religious group is not Christian Science, but a group know as the followers of god. It is their believe that god heals the sick. When someone gets sick they come together and pray for the person or child as opposed to getting them medical help.

Do you get one? ???
no....im not here to make big pharma more money than they already have.... we need to take less drugs not more >:(

doesn't everyone get the flu shot these days ???
of course in ontario they are free (provided by socialized medicine) for everyone
-

I don't. -Never once had the flu in 68 years. Why mess with a good thing? I am probably naturally immune. I am immune to small pox/chicken pox too. Never had the measles. I did get the mumps though. In fact that is the only childhood disease I ever had.
I would imagine people who qualify can get a flu shot for free here too. Incidentally, socialized medicine isn't really free. It is paid for with taxes. Nothing is really free, there are just different ways of paying for things, like medical care.
-

Even if it was free, I don't think I'd get it. I think they're only about $28 bucks anyway. I just heard yesterday on Dr. Oz they're only about 62% effective.

I get a bad flu once a year

Yeah. Brutal. I had a fever for over a week. When I was younger, I would beat a flu in three days max... now I stay sick over seven days...
