Considering that the shot can actually also GIVE you the flu, though the chance is minimal at best, I think i'll rely on my immune system and an emergency room should that fail.Quote:

I'm allergic as well. And you're correct about your system becoming weak on its own. It's the reason I deplore parents who tell their children not to play in the dirt. If your body cant practice fighting smaller (in effect) bacteria, it can't fight the nasty stuff either! So, LET YOUR KIDS PLAY IN THE MUD!
Yes there is a very small percentage of people who get the flu, Because a flu vaccine often contains the very flu germs that it is treating.Quote:

Just relying on immune system or hospital is not a fail safe plan. You have the common attitude of "It wont happen to me" Until it does.
Pffffffffft!Quote:

What I find annoying about my immune system is that I've gotten chicken pocks twice. the second incident isn't really chicken pocks but it is referred to chicken pocks (I think). Your suppose to get it when your an old timer (second chicken pocks) but I got it when Im 15 :(.
It's not that I don't think it will happen to me until it does, I just don't believe that modern medicine is always the first answer, nor is it necessary for all people. I trust my body and I live a very healthy life style because of this belief.
I still have yet to have my first case of the chickenpox. (And 15 is old, Oldtimer......haha)Quote:

To put it bluntly, it's all rubbish. 'Swine flu' is just another type of flu. Seasonal flu kills more than swine flu.
Pneumonia kills more than swine flu. Lots of things kill more than swine flu, but do we hear about tuberculosis or cholera? No, of course not! The media are always quick to grab a new disease story and pump it up so much that if they did it any more it would explode.
It's all scare-mongering.
Says a person who has had seasonal flu numerous times and swine flu, which was a bad cold effectively.
it is all rubbish,i hate how people are getting sick with seasonal flu and automatically assume its swine flu or when someone dies you hear the news people say its swine flu when it couldve been pretty much anything,I dont know these days the media makes things bigger then they actually are..Quote:
