Good to hear the flu is back now that covid is over.

My daughter-in-law is a pediatrician. Flu is real. Husband and wife neighbors had Covid last week after returning from Charleston SC. Guess it is still around to some degree.

What do people who oppose vaccines do when they become diabetic?

Is there a vaccine for diabetes now?!

Jesh, where’s the covid 19 virus, it cured the flu last year ?

Who said anything about being opposed to all vaccines? I just don't want a untested vaccine. Nothing says follow the science like not making the vaccine companies libel, no matter how many they kill. As far as the flu vaccine. I have not had a flu shot or the flu almost thirty years. I may die of the flu next week, but that can happen after you got the shot too. Was your neighbor vaccinated for the China flu?

Could care less about your daughter in law being a pediatrician. Many things doctors tell patients are still just best gueses. They are telling people not to get the covid shot now. 250,000 people die every year to Mal practice. Your scared. We get it. Many of us are not.

I'm not anti-vax. I'm just anti-Covid-vax.

And I'm pretty sure you're confusing fear of vaccine with fear of needles because to my knowledge there is no diabetes vax?

There are some promising trials right now with stem cell research. My step brother is involved with in TX

Am not scared, but I am concerned. Prevention is good.

Wishing the best for everyone. God Bless.

It's called washing your hands. Especially when touching things you're going to put into your mouth. A healthy diet also helps.

I work in a ER. Past 2 weeks we are seeing a lot of influenza, COVID, strep and RSV. Haven't needed to admit anyone yet.

It's harder to find truth these days because people have mostly decided they are the way, the truth and the life.
So we support, as compassion personnel, all the junk truth, the half baked ideas, the angry folks... for people who mostly now hardly ever go outdoors where immunity is found.

Young men ages 25 to 34 have been found to spend an average of 2000 hours a year in front of screens.
Not much immunity build up there.
And women have had to venture into the work place to earn money because the men are in front of screens.
And kids are just trying to survive in an environment not of their making.

There's no doubt flu and Covid and RSV and pneumonia and every other pathogen will find a more willing host in those who've been holed up.
So get outside and trap!
Build immunity as humanity has always done...
Outside.
I grind glands so average bugs find no home in me and mine

Probably some truth to that Mark but misses to mark 100% with my family. Not only are we out hunting, but running a market garden, raise chickens for meat and eggs, rabbits for meat and pets, and dairy goats.

Yet, they boys and wife got sick 4 days ago, and it hit me 2 days ago like a hammer. I got I utnof the truck to feed at the barn and was weak, and achy. Last night my temp was between 102 and 104. Today it's down to 100 and I'm feeling a bit better. Went out and did the feeding and filled the wood burner this morning. Hopefully tomorrow I will be back to normal.


Edit as I look over and both the boys are playing vide games and I'm on trapper talk. Then again what else will are we going to do sitting around running feavers when it's 30 outside.

I do have 2 deer to process. One is deboned and in the cooler and the other still hanging in the barn hole minus the guts. I just haven't felt up to it.

Edit 2. You are correct after all. I should have had the boys out hunting instead of at the several weekly church function we attend and they would not have got the flu from one of their friends whom brought ti to our group from his signature school. Thanks I will use that ammo on my wife when I get a guilt trip about taking them hunting instead of church. After all they not only missed all the church stuff since we have been sick bur also their 4H forestry competition and all the deer hunting I have had vacation to take them on


Edit 3. You should have seen my wife's face. Of course I wasn't serous but her face was priceless. Especially when she tried to make an argument that one after the other was shot down..

Everyone's Temps are back to normal but everyone is weak and achy. I had a shot of up set lower belly problems so I'm betting by tomorrow others than lingering coughing I think we should be getting back to normal
Probably no church though. Can't risk getting they young ones or old ones suck if we are still carrying a bug.

So from September 27, 2020 to May 22,2021 the CDC has the gall to tell us there were only 1899 cases of flu in the US. That's right, less than 2,000 cases NATIONWIDE!!! Who on here believes this. Speak up all you covid jab proponents! This is the same organization that told us all the jab was "safe and effective". If I am wrong on this stat, please show me. I sincerely hope I am wrong as this is insulting to anyone with a brain!! Here ya go.

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/weeklyarchives2020-2021/week20.htm

This is less than 5 cases of flu per state per month in flu season.

Y'all believe this, right?

5 cases in NY?

5 cases in NJ?

5 cases in CA?

5 cases in TX?

It's all legit!! The CDC says so.

What's sad is people will look at this and see it is so ludicrous they will gloss over it and not believe it. Folks, this is the CDC that put out these stats. The same ones that tell you about masks and jabs and social distancing.

The CDC has lost all credibility and can no longer be trusted. No way around it.

Wow bowhunter, I wonder what could have possibly happened during that time period to account for this unusual turn of events? You're not suggesting the CDC would intentionally tinker with the numbers to further a different agenda...............are you?

I believe ( I could be wrong) Charles made his living pedaling Fear (Insurance). Insurance sellers like people that live in fear.

"Insurance is always hedged against a loss. Our inherent fear is unmistakably the selling mechanism for insurance."

I read that there were 8 million hospitalization's due to the forced injection and now there are more people dying from the shot than the flue.

My mom has flu type A right now.
