Anybody taking shots this year?

Early 90s, you got the flu, you stayed home from school for a few days and ate soup. No one died, no one required intensive medical care.

How such a massive campaign to promote flu shots arose from those circumstances may seem a bit suspicious to some.
 
I'm no saint, I try to make money off these pharmaceutical companies when I can via the stock market, but it just sucks knowing what fuels them. It's like a business like everything else on earth. It's a grey area dealing with this stuff. Yeah they help you, but it could also potentially bankrupt you in the process. Tis life though, I guess.

Its the health care thing.  All this Obamacare and Ebola stuff in the media, its all about money.

Thats a billion dollar business, and if it was up to them theyd have u doped up on nyquil at night and dayquil during the day.

Bruh I've had the flu and bounced back with just Nyquil and rest


Kinda a reach to compare it to Polio.

Like I said, if you're young and healthy you'll probably bounce back from the flu. If you have a chronic illness eg. HIV, renal disease that weakens your immune system  the flu can kill you....this is why healthcare workers are required to get a flu shot. Not to protect themselves but to protect their patients.




It isn't a reach, why is a flu shot demonized and not the polio vaccine when historically the flu has killed a lot of people. You don't have an answer for that.

You only get the Polio vaccine 4 times within the first 6 years of life.

They want you to get the Flu vaccine every year.

That's pretty simple - there are various strains of the influenza virus and they change and move around the world. They're pretty good at predicting what will hit a few months before. That and having a few years worth in you gives you even better protection because you will have multiple resistance. If you look at the label on the shot it tells you which strains it is effective against.

It's not like polio which is one thing.

Getting mine on Monday. Those of you saying a nap and back to work haven't had the flu - I spent a week in bed wishing I would die last time I had it. Shot 5 years running and nothing since.

like I said, the only people I would advocate getting vaccines are the young, old and immune compromised. The flu is not common today for a reason, and there are people that could potentially die from it.

Yes but thats always been the case. It's not like flu shots didn't exist back then, those particularly vulnerable have always been advised to get vaccinated. The prevalence and implied significance these days is what is suspicious. Its a racket at best.
 
I've been getting one ever since I was a kid. My son will also be the same. My girl is a nurse. Her mom is a nurse and her dad is a surgeon. I also come from a family of medicine. You are damned if you do and dammed if you don't. I'm actually surprised at the amount of people who say no.
 
So I don't know people who are pharmacists? I've seen them ***** about quotas and exhaling in joy when they met them. Lol I went to St. John's one of the better pharmacy programs in ny but I don't know pharmacists? You're a clown. I'm going off what they've said. Actual people in the field.

Where did I say pharmacists were the reason drugs are expensive? I said pharmacists have quotas. I said big pharma is run for profit. Go back and quote me where I said pharmacists were the reason for high drug costs. Please stop talking.
 
Can it be that it effects/affects everyone different? These vaccines aren't a one size fits all type deal. I think some of the anti-vaccine crowd is a bit wacky but some may have an argument.

Quick Google search yielded:

The average salary for a New York City Pharmacist is $110,942 , which is 8.3% below the national average of $120,926 . Salary estimates based on 312 salaries submitted anonymously to Glassdoor by Pharmacist employees in New York City, NY.

So yeah, Idk I really don't give a **** about this argument. You're clearly hellbent on trolling, as usual, so go ahead, have fun wasting someone else's time.
 
Yeah I don't any Pharmacist making 40-50g's, most come out of school making close to 70-80 especially down here

The flu vaccine is very cheap, I just just think the the anti-vaccine campaign is idiotic. Their only proof is the supposed association with autism which shoddy research at best. We eradicated one of the most dangerous diseases in this country, small pox and people are hell bent on bringing it back.

Shoddy isn't the word - the guy who produced that work was struck off by the General Medical Council in the UK - as harsh a punishment as you can get for fabricating the whole thing. He was rightfully absolutely ostracised from the medical research community.

The only people still perpetuating the myth are uneducated wackjobs.
