So, the Flu shot made me sick

[Thorn Bird]

The flu vaccine doesn't contain a single strain of active flu virus. It's all dead.

the nasal flu mist is live. my kids can't have that one because of their asthma.

i had never had any kind of flu till i got the swine flu. guess i'm a pig at heart.

Didn't know that. The mist is a new one so I don't know how that one works. I was talking specifically about the shot.

Depends on the vaccine.

In the case of the flu vaccine, they kill every strain of the flu. It is impossible to get the flu from the vaccine.

I beg to differ.

From the CDC

The "flu shot" — an inactivated vaccine (containing killed virus) that is given with a needle, usually in the arm. The flu shot is approved for use in people older than 6 months, including healthy people and people with chronic medical conditions.

You don't get the flu from the flu vaccine. Urban legend. You simply get psychosomatic p*ssy disease.

There's a vaccine for that, too. But you have to get the shot directly into your genitalia.

that doesnt mean they can't fuck up the batch and leave some of it alive accidentally.

happens quite often. (with different vaccines anyways, not neccessarily the flu.)

I've thought of this.. maybe this is why some people get sick and some do not from the vaccine.

Yeah, my doctor told me that with a compromised immune system I will get the flu if I get a flu shot, and since I only usually get the flu once every 3 or 4 years it doesn't make sense. In fact, it doesn't make sense for most people to get it since getting the flu on rare occasion really isn't that dangerous, just inconvenient. I'm not sure why otherwise healthy people really think the flu shot is a good idea.

I know the roos look pretty sexy to PT but I would think you could just pay him a little extra attention to block that out and avoid the marsupial 3some. purely conjecture though
