It only lasted the one night and I was fine the next day, but it was certainly enough to stop me going back for the shots ever since

Stupid.

drip ftl! ah well... necessary evil

I've never gotten the flu shot, there is really no reason to.

The people who get it, get sick anyway, while the ones who don't look on and laugh. I get sick, the opposite times of the year to everyone else, and medication doesn't really help.


For those who get the shot, and get sick, hope you feel better before your holidays!

i just think that...well, i know my own medical history; and i've never had the flu....and i've never had the flushot. kind of seems like a waste of resources to give me one; since it's never happened to me before.

i'm all up for prevention of other things; but to have some cold ass liquidy viral germs blown up my nose; into my sinus cavity; and finally down in my lungs/throat....when it's not necessary? i'll pass.

Originally posted by tubularbills so we had to get a flu shot today. but it wasn't the shot. it was the mist shit. like they put this syringe up your nose and squirt it into your sinus cavity. i felt the cold liquid going into my lungs. i've never had the flu in my whole life....and i've never gotten flu shots /sprays before. and now i have to get one every year. it's pretty stupid. and now i'm going to get the flu. right before thanksgiving. perfect timing.

this just proves america is Fukked! By giving the Flu shot, you should get poked in the arm or ass, NOT misted up the bloody nose! come to canada tubularbills I will give you a REAL flu shot!!!

Yeah i have never been so sick since i joined the military. Always getting fucking sticked by needles, it sucks. They want us to get the small pox shot. I said FUUUUCK THAT! I keep avoiding it i dont want smallpox. Bandage has to be air tight and if water leaks in during a shower spreads on your body or if you get a rash and it gets in your blood stream your fucked....oh no im staying away from that shite.

They tricked us. We went to the theater for some classes and after the class they we like "theres a shot ex going after this medical is here so no one leave". I was like shiiit. We are all getting in line and they ask as if we had a rash. I'm like why does it matter if we have a rash and they told me it can get into your blood stream in the shower n shit. I'm like yea i got a rash. Where? "My ass" shes like ok go to medical get it checked out and we'll go from there im like shweet im out!!!

I came back form the philippines pissing out my ass and sicker than a dog went to medical..yeah we "think" you have a flu virus heres this this and this. Whatever i slept for 2 days was feeling better then i had to get my flu shot haha perfect i get over it and they give it to me again. I love it....

i'd be stupid to have the shot again unless I enter a high risk group

LOL, please show me the research "that has shown in many cases to be worse than the problem it is trying to solve."


YOU CAN'T GET THE FLU FROM THE FLU SHOT.

I always thought that the point of the shot was to make you sick and get it out of your system.

perhaps you should do a bit of research on the topic. Despite the doctrine that you cannot get the flu form the flu shot, there is mountains of evidence that people get flu like symptoms, in many cases quite extreme symptoms, from these shots. I'll accept your suggestion that it is not the flu, but it is most certainly a reaction to the injections

Im pretty sure getting a reaction is the point of the vaccination. Some people respond differently than others, but disregarding a few cases, the vaccine prevents contracting the flu virus
