Where I work, with a lot of scientists and what not...many of our top PhDs won't get the flu shot 'cause they say the flu mutates so often that the strain circulating usually isn't what you're getting in the shot anyway. So I take their advice and never get the shot.

I wonder if jews gets poison free vaccines

Thin_White_Duke

Coworker got this after taking the shot one year

Been a little gun shy about taking it even though the odds are small.

I have never went for one and I'm still kickin. knocks on wood

This is a bad article. It doesn't link to the actual study but the wiki page for the university. Here is a link to the only study I could find, which actually was focused on pregnant mothers receiving the flu shot: https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/mediaroom/pressreleaselisting/flu-shot-during-pregnancy

The only statement relatively similar to the claims in the article from the University itself was:
"Researchers administered flu vaccine to 141 pregnant women, 91 of whom received a flu shot in the previous year, 50 who had not. The results, published in Vaccine, found that women who hadn’t received a flu shot in the previous year had better initial immune responses to the vaccine. For those who had received a flu shot the previous year, their peak antibody responses were weakened."

I haven't had a chance to find the actual study posted on science direct, but will do so off mobile.

Maybe that's where the 250% influenza infection post vaccination comes in (the most salient of OP's article), but I haven't seen it yet.

crazy_eyes

Im not stupid

whatisbestinlife

if i get the flu shot im going to a jewish neighborhood where i can see many jews getting the flu shot as well and i will also disguise myself as an azkanazi

yewotm8

I haven't gotten sick in years. Used to get sick twice a year back when I got the flu shot all the time.

Tb0n3

Christ this shit is retarded. The sources are non-existent. Where's this study, faggot.

Tb0n3

The study was for PREGNANT WOMEN. And appears to so a possible limited effectiveness for a month after vaccination. What's the issue here?

Buggsie_Blue

Too late, already got sent to sick call to get mine.

River_Otter

Two consecutive years of flu vaccine is all it takes to drop your fertility by 70%. New studies are.out now.

Read them.

glassuser

Source?

Onlio

Anybody know how reliable this source is?

Dougal_McHaggis

All this says is previously vaccinated people ate the same as non previously vaccinted people after 1 month, AFTER BOTH GROUPS BEING VACCINATED AGAIN. All they wanted to know is if previous vaccine preconditioned against subsequent vaccines, and it didnt.

The article is bullshit.

heygeorge

Natural News is best described as unreliable.

DishingShitLikeA

I haven't had a flu shot since I was a kid, I'm pushing 30. I think I got it once in highschool and once when I was partying too hard around 21. Big fucking woop.

Fuck flu shots.

I fight the flu and all other viruses by consuming alcohol and tobacco.

cthulian_axioms

Agreed, at least as to the alcohol part. I've found the following recipe works like magic:

Toddy Americano

  • Boil a kettle of water.
  • Steep echinacea tea 10 minutes.
  • Add 1 shot bourbon whiskey.
  • Squeeze juice of 1/4 lemon into tea.
  • Stir in 1 generous tablespoon of honey.
  • Drink.
  • Repeat as necessary.

For the flu, also take indica-heavy cannabis tincture as necessary to fight off nausea. For a cold, take indica-heavy cannabis tincture as necessary for relaxation.

I don't know if this method actually speeds healing or not, but it certainly makes the illness much more bearable; and cannabis has indeed been shown to have some pretty spectacular anti-nauseant properties, which is why they prescribe it to chemo patients.

Tallest_Skil

It’s interesting that I stopped getting headaches entirely when I stopped taking one of the pills to mitigate the pain of headaches. All I had to do was tough it out ONCE and they went away for GOOD. Similarly, I haven’t had the flu or any other bad transmissible sickness since I stopped getting flu shots. Kind of odd.

jackfraser

Enjoy your flu, you pussies. I’m gonna get the shot, just like every year, and not get sick.

Your fear of medicine is borderline moronic.

dontdoxxmefaggots

lmfao, i got the flu once. who gives a shit if you get the flu? unless you're a pussy it's not gonna kill you

jackfraser

Was it really the flu? If it was, you'd have been in bed for a whole week. Were it a swine flu like H1N1, stronger younger men were disproportionately affected. Yes, it can kill you. Even if it doesn't, you're serving as a mechanism for potentially spreading it to others, hurting herd immunity.

Unless you're a pussy, getting a shot won't kill you. I actually figure the majority of idiot anti-vaxxers are just faggots that are scared of a needle.

dontdoxxmefaggots

yes it was the flu, you faggot.

why the fuck would i get a flu shot? i'm not an anti-vaxxer, but flu shots are 100% fucking USELESS

BPrime

borderline?

RumpRangerRick

Herd immunity, yo. Have fun getting poked !

jackfraser

Have fun being scared of needles like a 5 year old girl

Pedersoli

My wife was a nurse and they tried "mandatory" flu shots at work. She refused and got a bunch of static over it. Ironically she ended up working overtime a few weeks later as a lot of the staff who got the shot ended up with the flu.

Reverse-Flash

So did she flu the coop?

Pedersoli

She ended up blowing a disc about a year later trying to help a morbidly obese patient into a wheel chair. She is retired completely now.

Reverse-Flash

God bless her. Sorry to hear about the spinal problems.

EvilSeagull

Some employers require employees to get a flu shot yearly as a condition of employment. It should be illegal to do so.

guilermoponcare

Some people pay pharmacy techs extra to just sign the sheet.

EvilSeagull

They do it right at work. There's no way to do that. A good idea though.

Egg allergy note?

Reverse-Flash

They force you to get injections of mercury and viral DNA, but you better not light up that joint.

theoldones

i am not surprised by this result at all. same phenomena as kids not playing with dirt and worms leading to higher allergy rates

getting a flu shot is saying " my immune system cant fight off random viruses, so im gonna let someone in a lab coat inject me with strange viruses "

Dougal_McHaggis

Vaccines are the same principle as playing with dirt. Your immune system can only effectively fight ofg things its been exposed to already.

Btw cholesterol is very important for the immune "memory". Eat some eggs!

theoldones

dirt doesnt have mercury in it though.

Dougal_McHaggis

Hope you dont eat tuna or shrimp if youre scared of a little mercury.

hatecrime

should kids play with worms?

theoldones

they should play with worms, and toads, and dirt, and plants in the woods, and this will make their chances of getting an allergy drop dramatically, yes.

they SHOULD be playing with worms

Sum-of-Nun

Wow. I never knew there was a correlation. I guess this explains why I don't have a single allergy. I was outdoors more often than not and usually getting my hands dirty. I was a damn salamander, frog, and garter snake catching machine.

0fsgivin

No this is actually true. One doc does nothing but cure kids of allergies by making them play in dirt.

Black dirt is what ya want. Not sand...good rich EARTH full of all those naughty naughty microbes.

You dont gotta go full on eating raw chicken or nothing. But getting a little dirty from time to time is what your SUPPOSED to do.

Premie infants are handled now with gloves or any barrier by nurses. Because they HAVE to be exposed to harmful pathogens or their fucking immune system never turns on and they die.

This was discovered by a nurse who was tending premies and back then life expectancies were TERRIBLE. She got sick of them having no human contact in their short existences(it was thought they should be in complete sterilized isolation in an attempt to simulate the womb) and said "fuck it they won't die without HUGS GOD DAMNIT! They should at least get those!"

Turns out the fucking hugs saved em lol...Then they studied WHY and figured out it's the immune system thing. Also, might be some pyschological factors "losing the will to live". We are not meant to be alone.

hatecrime

They should get in the dirt. so natural. get exposed to all the bacteria and virus imaginable so the immune system gets strong. I was just wondering about worms in particular, but nvm

theoldones

are you daft or do i have to explain this to you

allergies are an immune system freaking out at something innocent

the dirt and worms DO have bacteria and viruses on them. exposure = immune system training.

no immune system training = hyperactive immune system = allergies.

hatecrime

do worms have more viruses and bacteria than other bugs? why do you turn hostile?

0fsgivin

Same reason I do. Isolation probably. Being smart enough to realize everythings shit but not smart enough to think of a solution.

And the drinking.

Pawn

"my immune system cant fight off the debilitated viruses of the flu, so im gonna let someone in a lab coat inject me with the debilitated flu virus so as to generally avoid suffering the effects of the flu season and can spread the flu less."

theoldones

flus dont kill too many people though, so this whole yearly shot seems unnecessary at best

Redditsdead

They kill people who are being artificially kept alive past their due date.

Rotteuxx

From the article :

A study published in Human & Environmental Toxicology found that mercury-laced flu vaccines caused a 4,250 percent increase in fetal deaths during the 2009 flu season.

Dortex

It says there's a study, then doesn't cite it.
