What you said. I too avoid flu shots, because they work all too well. I get a flu shot, and the next thing I know I have the flu!

We're holding a drive-thru flu clinic here on campus at the football stadium parking lot in October where we'll be giving 8000 Type "A" flu shots and 8000 Type "B" flu shots. They're free. It'll be a busy day.

I got sick for 3 days every time I got the flu shot. And I had to get it for 20 years in the military.

I've been retired 2 years now. No flu shots, no sickness.

I'll take my chances. We're all going to die of something someday. If my way home is the flu, so be it.

I used to get sick every time I got my flu shot in the Air Force also. Now my doctor wants me to get one because I'm a Diabetic. I asked about getting sick like I did when I got them before. I was told that the vaccine had been changed from the one they used in the past. I don't know if that is true or not but I didn't get sick from the one I received last year. I will be getting another very soon.

I'm one of those unlucky people that would get the flu every year like clockwork, and it would hit me hard, even when young. 6 years ago I started getting flu shots and haven't had it since. They work.

"Vaccines which have been approved by the responsible government authorities for vaccination against the alleged H1N1 Influenza A Swine Flu have been found to contain nano particles. Vaccine makers have been experimenting with nanoparticles as a way to “turbo charge” vaccines for several years. Now it has come out that the vaccines approved for use in Germany and other European countries contain nanoparticles in a form that reportedly attacks healthy cells and can be deadly."

I've had the flu only once - when I switched from a lonely night-shift to the crowded day-shift here at work. It was a bad year - 2000 or so, and a lot of these folks have young kids. Always a bad situation - the kiddies pick up crap at school and spread it among their families. We were all dropping like flies, even those who got their shots.

I avoid the vaccines, and will absolutely avoid the Mexican Flu witches' brew. All I have been reading about it makes me queasy. The shot has some nasties in it you DON'T want. And it is basically untested. The first 'victims' are the testrats. Lets wait and see what happens to THEM before risking it.
In the meantime, I am using a regimen of supplements to beef up my health and immune system. Might work, might not. But I put more trust in my body's ability to fight disease (proven over fifty-odd years) than in this Goobermint-approved concoction fromt he Nether Regions.
Just my choice. If it hits hard, I am prepared to quarentine myself for weeks if necessary. In a pinch, I can 'work from home'.

I've gotten 24 hours flu's and what-not but hardly gotten a true flu. Never gotten a flu shot either. Terrified to death of needles. Guess that counts me out of the hard drugs haha. But seriously, flu shots only really crutch your immune system.
