    Rinse your ears out with a couple of drops of rubbing alcohol after you shake the water out. Not kidding. No infections, no nothing.

    I'm concerned about mental fog. I've read studies about developmental delays in the youths after routine vaccines such as the flu vaccine. I work in a highly competitive environment as a high achiever and cannot succumb to any slowdown in my mental faculties. I maintain a thorough hand washing regimen which is coupled by an intense workout and diet that has prevented me from getting the flu this year. Don't let the media hype and the pharmaceutical cartels pressure you into getting a flu vaccine. For some it might be useful, but they probably don't have much to lose to begin with.

    Of the 155 participants, 72% had recently received influenza vaccine. When all cases of influenza were analyzed, there were no differences between vaccinated and unvaccinated participants with respect to symptom severity at the baseline visit. However, among patients whose illness was caused by a specific influenza subtype (i.e. A/H3N2), the severity of upper and lower respiratory symptoms, and systemic symptoms (e.g. chills, muscle aches, etc.), was significantly lower among those who had recently received influenza vaccine as compared to those who had not. The overall symptom score was also lower among vaccinated individuals.

    The findings of this study suggest that annual receipt of influenza vaccine, while not 100% effective in preventing disease, may be of some benefit by lessening the severity of symptoms among those who do get influenza.

    Don't talk about subjects that you are ignorant to. As of right now the best knowledge that we have is that the risks and potential inefficacy of a flu shot is still better than not getting one whatsoever.

    If you want to be ridiculous and disagree please provide data. I don't have the time to get on UpToDate and send you all the thousands of links to articles that disagree with what you are saying.

    Flu shots are designed to keep poor people poor. Watch this documentary.

    Again, not gonna get into it. Just know it's wrong. I don't need public propaganda to sway me. It's like saying since it's media accessible it's right. Understand the fundamentals of which, why, and what studies get released. You're assuming no bias.

    I don't think most people need it especially African descents , I think one day flu vaccines will be looked at the same way antibiotics were once library used , some neurological side effects as what's #Mr.Brightsides had said is concerning aside from the usual suspects within selection,incubation, cultivation,&distributions question marks

    So you know stuff that no one of us do...but you are unwilling to educate us or guide us to the truth?
    And we should just blindly believe you...

    Your screenname does say a lot about you and your attitude towards the average person. I saw your condescending responses in the Bitcoin thread but didn't think much of it.

    Jeeeesh, I'm tired of these phony rationalizations when it comes to vaccines. I CHOOSE not to get flu shots and take my chances because:
    1) I'm lazy
    2) I like to take days off work since I never fake sick days
    3) I like it when my GF takes extra care of me and my mom makes me caldo de res.

    Not because some weird conspiracy theories.
