Default another Flu Hoax?



I can only seem to find a video for it yet no news clipping. This seems like hoax to me I don't know I've never heard that the flue shot can cause that.



This seems like the same one above no? I would assume that these two cases had other medical issues, I think there a hoax it seem like everytime this year Fox seems to go into scare the people mode for flu.

Or perhaps it isn't a hoax but the chances of getting this side effects are like 1 to million.

A medicine being marketed just means it doesn't fuck up the majority in comparison to its potential benefits, (and that's in a perfect world. All it actually means is that it's passed a study that reports that result.) IIRC There are Schizophrenia medications out there that are known to cause fatal heart disease in something like ten percent of patients.

Treat your doctor like he's out to screw you over; usually he is either through ignorance or malice; take everything he says with the upmost suspicion and never stick anything in your body you don't have to. Medicine at the level of drug companies is a business; they don’t give a fuck about you and you can't do anything about it.

A vaccine usually consists of weakened patogens.

It's entirely possible that a person might get something from it - just as the person might get something form a normal flu.
The possibility of getting something from a vaccine is far lower though.

The only issue is, that after you take the vaccine your immune system takes a hit or a short time - needs to kill the weakened patogen.
During this time many people get flu-like diseases which are wrongly called flus. If you have a real flu, you know it. Well you don't know about yourself with 40+fevers..

The problem is that people associate symptoms of cold with symptoms on flu, but the main symptoms are migrains and diarrhea, hell when I had the flu I never really coughed.

Whether I believe this or not, I still wonder why she even got the flu shot in the first place. A healthy woman of her age likely doesn't need one.

It has nothing to do with whether or not she would contract the virus and develop the disease, it has to do with whether or not the disease would endanger her life. There is a finite amount of flu vaccine -- it should be saved for the young, the elderly, and the immune compromised first. People with healthy, strong immune systems should not need a flu vaccine unless there are extenuating circumstances (which there may have been, hence my curiosity as to why she received the vaccine).

The flu isnt a grim reaper unless you have underlying health problems or a crappy immune system.

I got the flu mist because I was forced to and I have to get the swine flu shot in a month.
