It doesn't go into your veins. Some of you people are retarded, paranoid or retarded and paranoid. Your immune system develops antibodies by being exposed to something. Without the exposure, no antibodies. Exposing yourself to "small amounts" helps create antibodies so when you get exposed to a large amount, you have the antibodies to fight it off.

Anyone that still believes you get autism from vaccinations is woefully ignorant.

That’s definitely true in Baton Rouge. Walmart on Burbank is on their last box. Most places are out or only have the shot for people 65+

What do you think is the harm in getting it?

Never got the flu shot. I’ve never had the flu (knock on wood). If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

I got one in November and just tested positive for strain A yesterday if that helps. Dr and pharmacist were saying there are so many strains this year the shot is 10-30% effective. Got it from my kids. Really sucks.

Equating the flu shot to a heroine addict. It’s a stupid fricking analogy, but I like your style.

I have heard that after receiving a flu shot, the first place you developed antibodies is in your semen.

Lucky for you I received a flu shot last week and can offer an oral or rectal dosage.

Definitely not too late. When flu seasons are as bad as this one, the potential for infections can last through the school year. Colds and the flu spread so effectively in Fall and Winter because we tend to stay inside in close quarters.

I got the flu once in undergraduate school at UK. I honestly thought I was dying. I vowed never to get that shite again. I've had flu shots for 33 consecutive years and have never had it again.

So the vaccine really won't prevent it.



People don't understand that just because you get the flu doesn't mean the shot wasn't effective. It will lessen the severity of the virus and minimize the amount of sick days

So now the argument gets shifted from the vaccines not being effective and people still getting sick as shite from it, to where people are not getting the flu shot b/c it causes autism?

Did you read the whole thread? It got brought up at least twice.

Why not quote those people then? Instead of shifting the argument when I mentioned nothing about autism, just how ineffective they are. But nice try.

It seems like you are having difficulty w/the concept of preventative measures.

What do the things I listed have in common? Wearing your seat belt lowers the chance of getting killed in a car wreck but does not mean you still can't die from impact. Making sure to never point your gun at your hunting buddy lowers the chance of a hunting accident but does not mean there is no way something bad could happen. Wearing a condom lowers your odds of getting an STD (or getting somebody pregnant) but it is not 100% effective.

Another example would be that even though I've never had a fire in my house I make sure to have up to date fire extinguishers and fire alarms just in case. However, if there ever is a fire my alarm and extinguisher still might not be enough to help stop my house from burning down.

Using your logic I should just say frick it and not have the alarms or extinguishers.
