you should also get inoculated for hepatitis if you haven’t been, because you never know when you’ll be exposed to it in the hospital while having emergency surgery. PSA FYI The more you know (star)

I just heard that Cervical Cancer can be caused by a virus and that there is a method to prevent this virus? Ask your doctor!

The Flu only kills old people and young kids, I’ve never had a flu shot and I haven’t had the flu since I was wee. I think I’ll hold off on the flu shot so there is plenty for everyone else.

There is plenty of flu vaccine this year. You can even get flu shots at Costco. It’s less expensive, but they make you buy a huge package of flu shots and you’ll probably end up giving some away to your neighbors.

It is true! I heard about this months ago. There is a push to get every girl under 13 vaccinated; however, some people it are against it. They feel that cervical cancer is a punishment for unprotected sex. Thus, they don’t want anyone to get vaccinated! Go fig!

What is the flu vaccine? The flu vaccine is prepared from the fluids of chick embryos inoculated with a specific type(s) of influenza virus. The strains of flu virus in the vaccine are inactivated with formaldehyde and preserved with thimerosal, which is a mercury derivative.

people pay to have this toxic sh*t injected into their body and you only get 70 to 80 percent temporary immunity from three specific viruses. it’s a f*cking scam folks. don’t buy it.

TRUST your immune systems people! you are stronger than you think!! educate before you vaccinate.

DouglasG…I was sort of riffing on the commercial that they play incessantly on Lifetime, We and the Oxygen network.

I would love to be the one to be able to ask the question in a debate in the 5th, “What’s your stand on Cervical Cancer?”

Er…6th.

imagreen, you don’t sound like a green. You sound like a knucklehead.

Simpleton, your view on the flu is out of touch with the facts. Influenza can be serious for otherwise healthy adults with common lung illness like asthma. There are more than a quarter million adult Minnesotans with asthma — I’m one of them. Plus, there is no need to ration this year’s vaccine, folks.

Got mine this AM at the Mall.

Ms. Yamaguchi is a very nice sports celeb, by the way. You can’t put on airs if you live near Brainerd, even for part of the year.

must be the mercury talking.

I haven’t had a flu shot in years and I’m ok. It seems like something only the really old or really young need. I suppose those with weakened immune systems or other problems too, but any generally healthy and able-bodied person really doesn’t need a flu shot.

But do any of these people DIE?

That is what I purported.

I think you would be better off just staying away from children if you don’t want the flu.

Who knew there was a fluwiki?

Judge for yourself. She was very late for the interview, stuck in traffic.

Oh noes, if you take the flu shot you’ll catch the autism!!!

Even Superman should be worried about catching the flu.

Dean Cain
Actor, Father and Asthmatic

Actor Dean Cain has asthma. While he may have been a great football player and appeared as Superman on the popular television series Lois and Clark, he knows he’s no real-life superhero. He fears what influenza could do to his asthma if he got sick from this serious respiratory disease. So much so, in fact, that he gets immunized every year, and he takes his 6-year-old son, Christopher, with him.

People with asthma, like Dean, are recommended for immunization against influenza every year.1 The nation’s health officials recommend yearly influenza vaccination for all people with asthma and for others who also have a chronic medical condition, such as diabetes, compromised immune systems and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a serious lung disease.1

TRUST your immune systems people!

You DO know that is how a vaccine works don’t you? It uses dead or disabled virii to “trick” your body’s natural immune system into fighting the particular disease caused by the virus. Thus, if it is struck by a full strong version, it knows how to fight it.

Naturally, if your immune system is not up to the job, you can still get the flu; however, it will be a much milder case than you would have gotten otherwise.

Further, there is this thing called “evolution.” It used to be taught in schools. These virii evolve. Thus, they are different variants each year. Your strong immune system knows only how to fight the ones it has come in contact with.

There are reasons to get a flu shot and there are reasons not to get the flu shot. However, mercury is not a valid reason to not get one.

Shall we talk flu shots, or midterm election politics? In one city, you can do both.

“TRUST your immune systems people! you are stronger than you think!! educate before you vaccinate. “
