Why It Probably Doesn't Work

I have mentioned before that a lot of the products that we eat contain steroids, hormones, antibiotics, chemicals and pesticides; right? Everything from meat, veggies, fruits and poultry. Well.....caught an article on the news last night that the Flu Vaccine is made using EGGS. Chicken Eggs!!
But of course with the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approving this method, it should just be hunkie-dorie, right? Just like they allow all the crap that goes into our foods are perfectly safe too right?
No wonder the virus mutates itself and the shot is only 30% effective. I'm not a Scientist, but doesn't a little common sense go a long way in figuring this out?

All people I know who had the flu shot got the flu. We both escaped and we had no flu shot. We should stop taking too many medications, at least when we need something it will help. Our body gets the habit to medications and they are no more effective in the long run.

Especially antibiotics @LadyDuck . It's the first thing a doctor prescribes for 'everything'. Sooner or later your body will become immune to the antibiotics and then they are worthless.

@nanette64 Here doctors almost never want to prescribe antibiotics. It must be a very serious reason to prescribe them.

@LadyDuck It makes me wonder if the doctors here even have a license or if they're so sucked into getting freebee's from pharmaceutical companies, that they don't even care.

And yet they feel that these 'shots' are the cure-all answer @paigea .

@nanette64 I have never seen them promoted as a cure all. One tool in keeping healthy.

I have never had a flu shot my entire life and I don't get that virus. My son used to get flu shots every year but still catches the virus.

I think why a lot of kids get it is because they haven't built up their own natural immunity system yet @toniganzon ; so adding in the shot just throws everything off.

Which is why I don't get flu shots. Its also why I stick with certified organic food.
Lori is correct, but they also ask if you're in good health when you get one and even a little bit of the sniffles or scratchy throat can be overblown into a really bad side affect if you don't tell the techs giving those shots, I just find it safer to avoid those stupid shots and also avoid people as much as possible during peak flu seasons.

Yuppers, letting your 'natural' immune system do it's job and eating the 'right' foods make a huge difference @rebelann . That's why the Organic Farm I had was completely Organic.

there'd be too many strains 'f the flu 'n they jest 'guess' which'll be next 'n make vaccines 'ccordin' to those guesses. i don't gimme those nor the other vaccines. too many antibiotics given to humans (mostly fer viral schtuff...uhm, aint those fer confirmed bacterial infections?? sigh..) 'n also fed to the critters we eat. chemical fertilizers/growth hormones 'n genetically altered foods = bad juju :(

I don’t see a problem with how the vaccine is made. That isn’t why this year’s bad isn’t effective. They have to try to predict how it will mutate months ahead of time so they have enough time to manufacture and distribute them. Sometimes the model is wrong.

This year is a good example of the model being wrong @NJChicaa .

I guess the medical profession feels flu shots are like chicken soup. Try some it can't hurt?
