I'm 61, never had a flu shot and never had the flu. My wife is 55 and has never had a flu shot, she also has never had the flu. That is about to change. She is a nurse at the state loony bin. The state is forcing her to get a flu shot. The alternative is she will be required to wear a mask until March, the end of flu season. She is not happy about it!

The state encourages the hospital staff to talk the mentally disturbed patents into getting the flu shots, nearly all do. Yet every year the hospital is quarantined because of influenza outbreaks.


Eh...wot?

It only reduces risk 40 to 60 percent

I get a flu shot every year. I have also had both types of shingle shots and both types of pneumonia shots. I have gotten all the vaccines and shots that they give kids----mumps, measles--all that stuff. I should get a tetanus booster as I haven't had one in quite a few years. I have not had the rabies shots.

Have any of you guys that don't get the flu shot gotten the rabies shots, as a preventative?

Nope, I stay healthy in part by avoiding doctor's offices and hospitals. Do you have any idea the amount of germs in those places?

Nobody in my family including my Grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins have died, or even been hospitalized because of the flu. Heck nobody I even know personally have died or been hospitalized because of the flu.
Got the flu shot once, and guess what I got the flu bad.
Something else to think about, 44 years I didn't get the flu shot, and sure enough never got the flu.
I know, I know that's not the way it works but I'll play the cards I'm dealt. So you guessed it no flu shot for me.

My has a friend whose friend got a flu shot and it paralyzed him

I’ll take my chances with the flu

It’s also a gamble as to which strain of shot they give and which one is passed around not to mention they created all the different strands with FLU SHOTS

I worked with a guy in his forties that had bad arthritis,hands all knotted up, stiff and painful. He claimed it was caused by the swine flu shot. He died in his fifties. I don't get flu shots.

With the worst season in Australian this last season they know what the combinations are for this year.
A cousin got H1N1 last year and 3 months in the hosp he is just able to walk a block now 10 months later...and we have Medicare to cover it.

Lugnut, by them forcing her to wear a mask they are violating HIPPA. I know some nurses and drs (friends) here pulled the HIPPA card against HR and there wasn't an issue. The reason it's a violation is the company/ state is forcing the employee to display their health info openly (violates PHI). I suggest your wife talk to HR.

Get one every year. Almost died one year with the flu when I didn’t get the shot. In fact, wished I was dead when I had it. There is no such thing as having a touch of the flu.

No for me. Used to get them free at work, then missed a few years, just forgot when they gave them out. I'm sure they help a little, but even the CDC say it's more for the elderly and children. A healthy active adult with a good immune system shouldn't need one. Every year around this time it's the same thing, flu is going to be the worst in 20 years, they say. I think people who always wash their hands and sterilize their homes have poor immune systems and get sick a lot; go lick the door knobs on a day care and drink from your dogs water bowl and build up that immune system and let it work for you. LOL

I see no sense in injecting myself with something that likely will not occur. Statistics show what is injected is less than 50% correct for the flu strain that does appear this year. Vaccines are made the year prior to whatever strain develops. Then, statistically, I only have less than a 10% chance of getting the flu. If I do get the flu and die - I will count it a blessing to spend eternity with my Lord. God gives us wisdom and understanding if we seek it. For me and my house - I see no need for the flu shot. For the most part we are healthy and have good immune systems.

Everyone who gets the flu shot around here gets a badcase of the flu within a couple days.
