Flu shot, I don't think it's worth it.

[stovebolts]

Every year for about the past 5 years I get the flu. It has turned into bronchitis twice and pnumonia once. I know I've had a tremendous amount of stress in my life the past five years, so I started getting the flu shot to help.

Most know last week was pretty intense for me, so when I got a runny nose Friday I thought it was just a common cold. Monday night I went to bed and haven't been out of it since with the exception of going to the DR who confirmed I have both A and B strains of the flu. I'm on meds to help stop it before it turns into pnumonia.

I read this article a little bit ago because I want to know why I get the flu (severely) every year. It has to do with the flu shot. I'd really like to know everyone's thoughts.

By the way, ivam fairly active, have a good diet and even take pobiotics and immune boosters.... All to no avail.

Why do people get the flu after getting the flu shot?

This article is in response to the several significant errors Dr. Curchoe includes in her article, above.

That's the problem Jason. I've been getting the shot for the past five years and every year I get the flu, but not just the flu... It's the flu on steroids. I'm on stuff right now to prevent it from turning into pnumonia... Again

I have never gotten the flu shot, and have rarely gotten the flu, maybe only enough to count on one hand since becoming an adult.

It is a complete waste of time for its purpose.

If you want to get over the flu just help boost your immune system via natural methods. Vitamin C, Zinc, etc...

My wife, who has worked in the epidemiology research department at Vanderbilt University, I going to love this article. She hates getting the flu shot (which is almost mandatory for her) every year.

Now she will have ammunition to fight back with.

Yeah, that's my point. I eat an apple a day and oranges too. To boot, I take immune boosters and probiotics.
I'm really starting to believe I'm getting so terribly sick because of the flu shot. Did you read the article I posted earlier? That's exactly what's happening to me.
Now I'm dependent on prescriptions.

It's a well written article!

I just don't trust what is put into the flu shots as many get one and still get the flu so why waste the money and time. I'm getting over viral bronchitis that I have been dealing with for over a month now and the doc just said plenty of rest and fluids. I'm much better now, but still coughting up some yucky stuff. Best to just let it run its course. For me Ginger ale and chicken noodle soup works the best.

I wont ever get a flu shot, or any vaccinations ever again. I have read the bad news about them all. I wont try to convince you of anything here, but I will tell you who's stuff I read about it all so you could go google it out and read it for yourself and decide.

The man's name is Leonard Horowitz. He wrote books about the vaccines and has some vids on youtube also.
