Do you get the Flu shot?

Captain FT

Not me, fucking hate it! Gives me a cold for weeks and I'm basically miserable all winter...but hey I don't get the flu right?

As far back as I can remember, I'll say age 3 until age 10 ('79-'86) I never got a shot, and when I did at age 10 its was a tetanus shot. Never once did I get a flu shot growing up in the 80's and 90's, hell even in the early 2000's.

Now its media hype every year that if you don't conform and get a flu shot you're an ass hole.

Not doing it.
 
Sometimes I do sometimes I don't. I have an aunt with leukemia so I try to get it done each season when I have the time. I never get sick from it.
 
hell to the no...

I got my 1st shot in 1981 yes the air force was making us take them.. i was sick as a dog .... i mean iv drip sick..

and have not taken one since.. and i don't get the flu either..

I had a world wide deployment shot record several pages long in the USAF. A few months before I got out they told me they lost it and I wood have to start over again.


Yeah ... that didn't happen :rolleyes:

yea, we always liked it when the army jumped out of our planes when there's nothing wrong with it..

into the woods and desert.. see their wives were busy shaving, plucking and hitting up the bars while they were down range..

good times for sure..

Lol...I agree with you 100% brotha! Army dogs can't keep their women or fight.
 
The flu shot is ridiculous! You get a strain of the flu that may not even be a strain that will hit. Not to mention it's laced with mercury!
And really, how many times does one really get the flu? Maybe 1 every 10-15 yrs. A cold is not the flu!
Get a flu every 15 yrs, it's good for the immune system!

Flu shots are a scam! PERIOD!

I don't know?? It appears, the flyboys get a runny nose quite often...

saw the doc today, she (yes 36yr old blond with small fingers) said yes, get the injectable, the nasal is a live virus.. but the inject able is a vaccination..

I hate the flu shot..
 
Not me, never have, never will. Never mind mercury, the nanotech they use in the production spooks me. That stuff has no business being in our bodies.

I love how they're constantly slipping vaccines into shit and not telling us. My husband got a wicked cut at work that had to be stitched and they gave him a tetanus shot, didn't tell him it was a T-Dap, didn't ASK if he WANTED a T-Dap and didn't tell him the potential side effects (he'd had tetanus shots before and never had a problem so he didn't think twice about it). He ended up missing either two or three days of work because of the reaction to that fucking shot! I could have strangled that doctor!

Go for it, sparky, you go right ahead and drink that Kool Aid.

Frankly, unless you have special reasons for concern I think eating a balanced diet, taking a good multivitamin and being extra kind to yourself when you start to feel like something may be coming on does far more good than a dozen flu shots. There's a lot to be said for recognizing you have a tickle at the back of your throat and, instead of ignoring it, you pop a gram of vitamin C, some elderberry and zinc and hit the sack early.

My husband works in a very public environment, he's never gotten a flu shot and he's one of the healthiest people I know :whatever:

I work in an office in which there's a bunch of people in a small space (row of cubicles) if one of these fuckers gets sick we all get sick.
 
Nan, doesn't matter, if you're immune system is strong, you can french kiss a person with the flu and not get it.
The flu shot will not protect you if everyone around you has the flu but you're immune system is not strong.

I had a friend who is a neurosurgeon and she refused the flu shot and never got the flu. She even knew how dangerous the shot was.

Freaks me out how the population believes in this "snake oil"!

This... and add a good quality oil or oregano and a good source probiotic.

moar data supporting the idea that multivitamins have no benefit or are harmful

Vitamins will only work well if the gut is working well enough to absorb them, so they do not work for everyone.
The best place to get vit's and minerals is via food source and even then, you need to have a super clean gut (digestion/ intestines) to make sure they get absorbed properly.
oligoelements work better

Can't disagree with you. IMHO, most people eat a diet so crappy and highly processed AND they ignore some really common symptoms of food intolerances -- which I firmly believe causes further GI damage, fuck what M.D.s say (I won't even comment on needing "a little purple pill" :rolleyes: ) that a huge percentage of the population is walking around with varying degrees of nutritional deficiency.

I've been taking a very expensive probiotic blend for years, won't give it up, the stuff keeps all sorts of internal stuff working right and really seems to support immune function. My personal acid test is does it work, do I see a difference? With this stuff, I do. If I don't see some positive effect after one to two months of taking any product I pretty much shitcan it (with the exception of certain things like herbs taken short term).

In terms of daily supplements I take a multivitamin, garlic, vitamin D, green tea extract, Primal Defense and hyaluronanic acid (jury is still out on that one), that's it. Everything else I rotate throughout the week -- detox stuff (NAC/glutamine/taurine/glutathione), B-100 complex, multi-mineral complex, magnesium, iron and/or B12 when I remember or feel particularly beat. I'll toss in various herbs, zinc, vitamin C depending on what's going on otherwise.
 
a running nose is not the flu!


Precisely my point! I think the AF demasculinized Pick.. But I will STRAIGHTEN him out!!

Same here *knock on wood*. Can't remember the last time I had a flu shot and can't remember the last time I had the flu. I also know a few people who say the same but decided to get a flu shot for the hell of it...and ended up getting the flu. No thanks.
 
I work in a hospital and it's amazing the "pressure" you get to get the shot. When H1N1 was big, everyone was so divided on getting the vaccine or not. Those of us who didn't...figured we'd be run out of town!
 
I get it. I don't get it for myself so I don't get sick. I get it because there are people in my life where dying from the flu is a serious reality. Dead. Forever. In the ground. lol Other than that...I probably wouldn't bother and understand why otherwise healthy people would skip it.

Blueta how is your friend with AML doing? I just happened to think of that.

so, funny story about the H1N1 shot. My wife worked at a hospital where they were promoting the shot. They asked us to do a picture for a poster promoting it. My wife was prego. THey asked told her she needed to get the shot first. She told them that she wouldn't do the poster then. Well they used our picture anyway, lol. And we never had the shot done ourselves. Wait, how do i feel about that?

She has CML and I guess she is ok. Not seen her in over 2 yrs now! But I am sure she is well.

It's obviously a conspiracy!
 
I heard ER and his wife were both wearing their specially fitted tinfoil hats during the photo shoot.

Only testosterone boy is qualified to make the call if those hats were certified.
 
We've got some whooping cough in an 8th grade class in MKE because of cows like her.

She wants women to get cervical cancer too I bet.
