Anybody gotten the Flu Shot?
 
I hear all little kids are dying from it this year, I dont want to be sick it will ruin my posting rythm.

Are you going to get one? A flu shot that is.

I say dont take it and take your chances just getting the bug normally. :thumbsup

In order to get the flu, I would have to leave the house.

Unless the guys at Papa Johns' sneeze on my pizzas :(

liquidmoe 12-05-2003 10:42 AM

It's actually easier to contract a disease inside rather than outside because the air isnt circulating is much or dispersing as rapidly :thumbsup

Yep the kids and I got one this year, because last year it kept our sick days down to almost NOTHING from the flu. My son is very small and gets sick all the time, and I've never had a winter go so illness-free as after he got the shot.. I'll go next year too!

the flu shot is bogus, every time you get the flu it's a virus, when you get it your body builds up an immunity to that strain of the flu, therefore everytime that you get it it's a different strain....the flu shot is "supposed" that u don't get as sick as u normally would..but most ppl think that just b/c u get the shot u won't get sick...in fact most ppl that I know who get the shot actually DO get sick!! so IMO don't get it and take your chances! Just wash your hands alot and don't put' em in your mouth..:2 cents:

Flu shots are like $20, and if you want to double the pleasure add the pneumonia which is good for like 10 years.

If ya hate needles they have a snort version instead.

Its all dead virus so you cannot get the flu from the shot.

Cheap insurance policy...

Are you sure?

I've been debating if I should get it or not.... I don't know if I trust it.

Apparently you aren't overly familiar with the way viruses work in the body. Of course it's a virus.. what do you think other immunizations are? They are actual y the virus or bacteria in question. Most medical facilities that give flu shots do explain that it only covers a few strains of the flu, but considering the way that flus mutate, having one strain of flu can actually help prevent other strains, as the body will still identify the virus as foreign and malicious and activate an immune response to help combat it. Of course some people ACTUALLY get sick from the shot, but in most cases what they get is only 1/100th as bad as what they COULD get if they weren' t protected with the shot...

Here's some informative reading for you, just so I don't have to type all this shit out for you.

If you want some more resources, I'd be pleased to point you in the right direction :) If you want more lessons on viruses, I would also be pleased to point you in the right direction. Viruses are fascinating things, they can be both extremely harmful and extremely helpful :)

Getting a flu shot COULD in fact kill you if you have allergies to eggs or egg whites, as they are based on these things.. My husband is allergic and cannot recieve the shot..

In all honesty though, walking out your door could kill you, so therefore, could the flu shot :)
