It is proven that the flu vaccine is an effective prophylactic against (yes only certain strains) the predicted most prevelant strains of the season. People don't think it works because of the following reasons. 1) They get sick right after they get the shot. (These are symptoms caused by your body reacting to a deadened version of the flu, and you aren't ill, just building antibodies)2) They get really sick during flu season even though they have the shot. (Most of these people have a cold, not the flu, or in more rare cases a flu strain that you were not vaccinated for.3) People get sick and die from the shot. (Extremely rare, and there are always potentially dangerous side effects from a medical procedure)
And for the kid who said it's a money making scheme.. I'm from Canada and the government pays for most people to have it here. You may argue that it's my tax dollars that pay for that to happen,but if the capitalists wanted to get my money wouldn't they keep it in their pocke |

Fork vaccinations. Fork them with a spoon. If you're too pussy to handle a flu, you deserve to have a flu for the rest of your life. It's called washing your hands and not hanging around dirty, non-hygenic people. Doing those two things alone will give you better coverage than any vaccine, and they won't give you damned seizures. |

Oceanbeast:Aren't you aware that you have contradicted yourself? You argue that flu vaccines don't work at all because there are so many variations of the virus, which is very mutable. Which is wrong, by the way, because each year the virus is for the most common/most dangerous strains for that year and you gain some resistance to similar strains. You also argue that if you gain immunity by catching flu rather than gain an immunity by having a vaccination, that works to protect you against flu for the rest of your life. But if a vaccine was useless because it only works against 6 strains of flu, resistance gained from catching one strain of flu would would also be useless on the grounds that it only protects you from that one strain. |

If you have flu-like symptoms, STAY HOME (unless they are severe enough to warrant a visit to the hospital). It's pointless to go to a doctor for it. You'll end up paying them money just so they can tell you "Yep, you have the flu." They can't cure a disease caused by a virus. They can only prevent them. Sometimes. |

Gameshow time.You must choose to play one of the following games of Choose A Door: Game 1
There are a million doors before you. One of them is rigged to disable or even kill you. Behind the others is the rest of your life. Some will cause you mild discomfort for a short time. Game 2
There are 10,000 doors before you. One is rigged to disable or even kill you. Behind the others is the rest of your life. However, some doors will cause other people suffering and maybe even death. Possibly people you know and care about. Which game do you choose? |

vaccines havent been proven to stop or prevent a flu virus from affecting you they are BULLpoo. i am not saying all vaccines are but the flu vaccine is, its a money making scam by drug companies. the flu vaccine only protects you from like 6 strains of the flu... there are literally thousands of flu strains, and it doesnt help your body build naturaly immunity... have fun when you are 67 years old dieing from flu. flu mutates way to fast for a vaccine to be widely effective |

Hey Folks, use your head on this one... the only way that we aren't terribly afflicted as a population by high numbers of polio, rubella, measels ect ect is through vaccinations. I've treated people in impoverished countries where the vaccines available to us here aren't available. The syptoms of these diseases are often misdiagnosed by american doctors for the simple fact that they rarely see the symptoms in their homelands. These diseases have high numbers of fatalities. THAT IS A FACT. Now think of how many people you know that have been vaccinated many times over for years. How many of them are severely dibilitated or dead because of a vaccination? Common sense says there are potential risks with all procedures, but the likelihood that those risks will be a reality in comparison to the chane that disease may occur without the vaccination is tenfold. |

"I would much rather go through the flu the way they did for centuries,"That would be wondering if your children would die, maybe dying yourself, maybe having other family members die. Flu has killed a lot of people over the years. I don't think you'd really like to go through it like they did for centuries. The worst ever pandemic in terms of death and speed was flu. No-one really knows how many died, because it was too many to record. 50 million dead in just over a year is one of the lower estimates. Even the Black Death of 1347-41 didn't kill that many, although only because there were far fewer people then - it killed a much higher proportion of the total population of Europe and had a much worse effect. "it seems safer when you hear stories like this." Only if you have no information about flu. Actual flu, not a cold wrongly called flu. |

"I'd rather just have the flu. A week in bed away from work sounds kinda nice right about now."If you break your leg with a hammer, you could get more time off in bed. You'd also feel far less bad than you would with flu. Flu cannot sensibly be considered a "kinda nice" way to spend a week. Not actual flu, as opposed to a heavy cold. |

I know this is very rare, but there is no way in hell that I'm getting a flu vaccination.
I've never had one, and I see no reason to get one. I never get a vaccination unless it is required in some way (such as the MMR and Tetanus vaccinations that were required by my school district back in grade school).
I'm also refusing to get this new H1N1 vaccination, even though everyone seems to be getting encouraged to get it. It's brand new, and it was rushed through production, so there may be some chance that there is some kind of side effect that they don't know about...and I'm not going to be that one in a million to get it. |
