I only dispute when things are incorrect, factually incorrect.

No argument from me there. Illnesses of any kind stress the immune system, sap resources and leave you vulnerable until your body can recuperate and resupply itself with those lost resources. But none of this has any bearing on the flu vaccine. Except that, as I stated, having the flu shot does exactly that, it stresses your immune system, saps valuable resources and leaves you vulnerable for a period. I wonder how many elderly people get their flu shots, stress their immune system in so doing and then subsequently pick up a virus going round and suffer very badly from it? And in how many of those cases is it Pneumonia that they get and die from it?

2) Many of the members on here take medication, and without those medications, which are researched & manufactured by Pharmaceutical companies, some may have become very ill or even died without them. There would be no medicines if Pharma didn't research and manufacture them! I certainly wouldn't be alive today if it wasn't for the work the pharmaceutical companies do. Don't knock them because one day it may be you that needs their help!
And again this is generic and not pertaining to the flu vaccine. It's silly to equate the flu vaccine with every other form of medical treatment or drug.

Patently untrue sadly. I mean you yourself in your post stated that you have the Flu vaccine so you don't spread Flu to your family or kids. If you HAD done your research you'd know that having the flu shot means you will spread Flu around 6 times more than those who don't have the slu shot.
That's what these threads are about. Presenting the facts so people can make more informed decisions.
It's odd that so many people get uppity about it all. Facts are good, research is good. Good for you, me, everyone. We need more facts because the medical industry and NHS are NOT giving the facts to us and are simply using conditioning and fear tactics to pressure us into making bad decisions for our health.
