Ah but we don't need to stress. The Cochrane Collaboration has already done this for us and the result show the flu jab is pretty much useless!

It is a manufacturered Big Business product. It costs to research, to manufacture, to synthesise and to ship and roll out.
The manufacturers and everyone involved down the chain are collectively making $billions from it.
That YOU, the end user (victim imo) gets to have it stuck in your arm for "free" does not make it free, no more than you buying a pair of jeans in the supermarket for £3 is nearly "free". There is ALWAYS a cost whether you see it or not.
In this case, it is the wider NHS that will be spending $millions on these jabs as well as all the other health departments and organisations across the globe. Small wonder the powers that be (who own the politicians and food and drug authorities) have aggressively pushed the campaign to increase uotake and demand for their product !
Small wonder that NHS staff have been incentivised to help increase that demand and stick as many people as possible.
To YOU the jab might be free, but the cost is coming out of YOUR NHS which means less will be spent on far more deserving and needed things like care for the elderly and mentally impaired and so on. Partial "whistleblowers" in the NHS have stated as much in articles saying there really is no justification for spending so much money, time and effort on a vaccine that has not a shred of independent scientific evidence to back it up, when there are so many other pressing areas which need that time, effort and money.
You ARE paying for that jab, just paying for it indirectly.

Re: Flu jabs
I'm not sure if it's just us but it's not fear of flu drives us to have it each year, after the first one we discovered our usually winter colds are much less severe, no lingering coughs after them, no chest infections either. I don't know if it's been tested for those things but if works like that for both of us.10-10-2016, 01:09 PM
