The standard flu shot is safe to say has had time to be studied. Works pretty damn much the same way as polio vaccine, small pox vaccine, and even chicken pox and measles vaccines.
Then again parents are trying to prevent the polio, and small pox ones now too. Pretty much on 100% junk science and surprise, surprise we are seeing those pop back up on the map. Terrific reason why celebrities should watch what fucking things they get behind and start yapping their mouths about on a national stage. All for freedom of speech - issue with spreading false/BS info that can cause other people harm. Slippery slope, so naturally I defend their ability to say that shit. General people need to at least get an idea of how smart or educated someone is. Just because they can look good on some show or movie and remember lines - does not make them equally or often more qualified to spread info on such matters over actual scientists.
Hell I can probably just bring up MSG right now and watch as the majority of anti vaccine people will also jump on the anti MSG issue too - despite all evidence and even blind studies by those who supposedly have such issues.

Watching Bill Maher last week I had the same feeling. He's totally against flu vaccines. He had Bill Frist on who was talking about the importance of vaccines. Maher pretty much refused to listen to the science and common sense of it, much as he does with food and other drugs. This flu vaccine paranoia is just crazy.
