No such thing as the stomach flu.


That's odd, my arse hole seems to be running a fever and has a productive cough as well.

No. The shot isnt "live"

the nasal spray vaccine uses 'live' viruses

some eople swear they get sick from it, but it is impossible

They are experiencing side effects, which can feel as bad. Also, youre still vulnerable to the flu for up to 2 weeks following the vaccine, so yeah, they can still get sick, even with the vaccine

It takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against influenza virus infection. In the meantime, you are still at risk for getting the flu

Getting each year builds resistance for your lifetime as well. No down side to getting it.

Not AT ALL true. The only way to build resistance is to naturally recover from a bout with the flu

Like all vaccines, the flu vaccine only gives a temporary immunity to the virus strains or closely related virus strains contained in the vaccine. The only way to get natural and permanent immunity to a strain of flu is to recover naturally from the flu.

Only gotten the flu 2 times in my life: the two years I got the flu shot.

That being said, I get a bad cold a few times per year. I have no idea why my immune system is so deficient considering I exercise regularly and eat well. Maybe it's hereditary

Well mrs smartypants the flu shot is only 48% effective this year


You got some bad info. The flu is a sloppy RNA replicator. Every time it reproduces it mutates. You cannot make a vaccine for influenza. Any such information that indicates any type of success rate for the flu shot is complete garbage.
