Do you get the Flu shot?

I’ve never had one before this year but I was in Shopper’s for something else and they suggested it so I went for it.

Even though I’ve never had the flu before I was concerned that I could pass the virus along even if was asymptomatic.

I did end up with most of the side effects but I was fine the next day.
 
Please site these studies and I'm still awaiting a pier reviewed study on the effectiveness of vaccines that wasn't written or sponsored by a Pharmaceutical company. Crickets. Nothing. Nada. If they're so effective go ahead and get not one. Not two shots. But a dozen. Have at her. They're free. Except the taxpayer pays for those free shots. And hurry up and send me the documentation. I have a contact with a real Doctor. I'm sure he would like to review your study as well. But I don't expect you to provide anythinhg. Because you can't. Because it doesn't exist.
wow....

The number of studies on vaccine efficacy far outweighs almost any modern medical intervention. Honestly, its something that does not even need to be studied but yet it has because of people like your self who think doctors are out there to give you cancer and autism just so they can make an extra 30 cents or something from the flu shot.

The CDC reports vaccine effectiveness every year... some years are better than others

THere is SOO much evidence like you dont really have to look. If you had any training in science after highschool you would be able to find things.... Il just point out to you


In a 2018 meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials or quasi randomized controlled trials, inactivated influenza vaccination reduced influenza in healthy adults (0.9 percent with vaccination versus 2.3 percent without vaccination;

In a population-based study in the United States that assessed the effect of influenza vaccination on disease severity among hospitalized patients during the 2013 to 2014 influenza season, a season in which vaccine viruses were antigenically similar to circulating viruses, influenza vaccination was associated with a reduction in the odds of in-hospital death among patients aged 18 to 49 years of age and 50 to 64 years of age

Influenza vaccination also reduced intensive care unit (ICU) admission among patients aged 18 to 49 years and shortened ICU and hospital length of stay among those 50 to 64 years of age.

Classic study on safety

There are many more but I give up at this point




I think you dont even need these studies. Our knowledge of immunology is advanced enough for doctors to know vaccines work... yet we have all this evidence.

IF you dont beleive the overwhelming science and dont believe the doctors at all then what do you beleive? Do you beleive smoking increases lung cancer risk? Do you beleive high blood pressure increases your risk of cardiovascular complications and stroke? Do you beleive insulin treats diabetes? Do you beleive that someone who has a brain bleed needs brain surgery? Where do we stop...
 
My SO used to work in a care facility that required her to get the flu shot and it was strongly recommended family members do the same. That's when I first got a flu shot about 20 years ago and have done it ever since. I never had the flu often, just a few times, before then. Zero times since then. Works for me.
 
There's no reason NOT to.
It's so easy, you can get it done at Shopper's Drug Mart.

What if I don't want the Illuminati mind control implants (or some other excuse equally dumb)?


Sorry but unless you previously had a significant allergic reactions....
 
Please site these studies and I'm still awaiting a pier reviewed study ...

I wonder if the flu shot helps with spelling?

But you are right that some studies are massively flawed. For example, the guy who claimed the MMR shot caused autism and ran an intentionally ridiculous test group had a patent for his own flu shot he was trying to sell.

The difference between conspiracy theorist and scientist is that the formers starts with a conclusion then tries to find evidence. Scientist allow the evidence to direct them towards a conclusion then analyze the conclusion.

So having that in mind when you point out clear flaws in their reasoning such as using their own arguments of conflict of interest to disown a study they don’t believe it.
