Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

What did I tell ya Mags . . . ?

I may be wrong, but I understood originally that this thread was Mags just saying she had booked her flue jab.

I don't recall her asking for a debate or advice on her decision?
In fact she deliberately stated at one point that her thread was for people who WANTED their flu jabs this year.

So where did it go wrong?

It seems very wrong to me that some people could be reluctant to post their decisions for this winter here, for fear of being jumped on, and lectured to like a 5 year old for the rest of the entire thread.

Do some people they think we are mentally deficient and unable to make decisions for ourselves?

Why can't people just have their say and leave it at that for God's sake?
I can't for the life of me understand why they can't step off their ruddy great soapboxes and let people make their own decisions.

Is it an obsessive 'control' problem?
Perhaps the good old word 'Gainsayer' is appropriate even?

I can't be the only person who makes her own decisions, and if I can't, I will ask for help.

The one thing I don't need - and wouldn't tolerate - is someone lecturing me - on . . . and on . . . . and on . . . . and on . . . . and on . . . and on . . . . and if it were my husband, I would have to smother him in his sleep!

Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

The CDC would disagree with your "theory"



Hospitalisations from flu very much on the rise year on year.

I wonder where all that flu comes from?

Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

The facts speak for themselves. Since the vaccine came into widespread use only a tiny proportion of people fall sick and die from it compared with before the vaccine. The Spanish flu is estimated to have killed 20 to 50 million people. Some estimates put it at 100m. Since the vaccine deaths have been going down to become a tiny number now. Efficacy is quite clearly demonstrated in the statistics.

The fact is that most of these studies you quote don't measure the way that the vaccine works and how one lot of vaccines grants some immunity to future strains. People might contract it but then have a mild version. It may not seem mild but the body is far more prepared.

Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

Funnily enough it's the CDC who are urging people to have the flu vaccine.

Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

Starting a thread to say you've booked a flu jab is ridiculous. Mags was asked to explain why she created the thread and specifically what she expected people to use the thread for, what to discuss given she had herself called it a "general new thread"

Unfortunately she did not provide a response to those questions.

The thread has developed naturally as the flu vaccine is being discussed.

Let's be honest. What some want on here is censorship. They want to broadcast their support for the flu vaccine without any opposing views. That's the kind of thing Hitler wanted.

Truth is many just don't have the facts to be able to make an INFORMED decision. So it's good for all to have the facts posted and debated.


No-one is lecturing you. For my part I am simply providing factual data supported by source references. You will note that no-one else provides any source references for their theories and statements.

You are free to read or ignore any content posted.

Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

People not having the flu jab because they believe all the ruddy conspiracy theories and think slicing an onion in half and putting it in a bandage around their head will protect against infection!

Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

Course, there is always the sauerkraut or grapefruit to try if the onion fails Annie.

Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

I am sure a spoonful of sauerkraut in the sock overnight will frighten off any virus!

Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

Foolproof.

Goodnight Annie. Sleep well. x

Re: Flu jab 2018 booked

Haha Ladies.
Sauerkraut in the socks
