There's nothing you could have done to save her Brian. My friend who had this barely survived and he was under constant medical supervision. People who have it are usually perfectly healthy and then suddenly go downhill. It's down to the medical professionals to diagnose. At that time of year they made a mistake and thought it was down to winter bugs. They did not recognise the symptoms were totally unrelated to colds and flu. It's their fault.

I am so sorry Brian what a sad time you have had .
I am surprised they didn't do an autopsy I thought that it was obligatory in cases of sudden death.
The man who spoke to you at the funeral was a tactless idiot.
Unfortunately for some reason there are always people like him about you will find after a personal tragedy.
Just try to put it out of your mind .
Take care now .

We always have the flu jab, and we have had the pneumonia jab too.

Re: Who doesn't have the flu jab and why?

I won't have one and I have only ever had the flu once in 1988. When I worked in nursing homes, all the elderly were given a jab and most had side effects and still caught the flu.

Don't forget that us men contract Man Flu at least once a year when we have to spend a few days in bed being waited on hand and foot.

As I have Asthma I have the flue jab every year as a preventative measure and have never had any side effects.
Like most people I have of course had quite a few vaccinations over the years. There were those given to me as an infant and during in childhood and in more recent years top ups for some and additional ones those that keep me safe whilst travelling.... Rabies, Tick-borne encephalitis...

This is total kidology I'm afraid.

The Flu Jab prevents nothing so you are merely kidding yourself or listening to bogus advice from uninformed people.

The Flu vaccine has been tested and proven to be useless (peer reviewed evidence from the Cochrane Institute). The vaccine helps only about 1 person in every 100 vaccinated. Absolutely catastrophically a failure then.

There is absolutely no way such a vaccine should be being rolled out to the nation with such dire performance. That is still is rolled out is testimony to how corrupt the medical and vaccine industry is and how corrupt our goverments are in failing to prevent it.

A significant number of people DO get some VERY SERIOUS side effects, some of them life changing, some of them fatal.
Given the vaccine is utterly useless, that's pretty much a criminal situation.

The Vaccine Compensation Programme in the US has so far paid out over $4 BILLION in compensation to victims of vaccines. Over $4 BILLION !!!!!!

Yet the vaccine programmes continue rolling out because their revenues far exceed what they have to pay out to murdered or crippled victims of their vaccines. It's an extremely lucrative business using FEAR as it's primary selling technique.

I had the jab - once. And the ensuing side effects.
