Do you buy the Flu Shot Hype?
More flu shot hype – preventative measures
Winter may be winding down soon, but the big bad “FLU” is still out there.
I spotted this table over at a local Home Depot recently: “Flu Prevention.”
It was basically a table of bleach products (which I’d still recommend over any single “green” or “eco” cleaning product. Just works.)
And not that I’d expect a hardware store to sell natural (non-medicinal) remedies – but you can definitely prevent the flu in other ways besides killing germs and bacteria in your environment.
Highly recommended is super-doses of Vitamin D. I found an especially great product this year: Seeking Health Optimal Liquid Vitamin D3 – which packs a whopping 2000 IU of Vitamin D per drop! I take at least 10,000 IU daily, and feel like a million bucks.
You can find other non-pharma remedies such as Zinc supplementation and drinking Ginger Tea as well.
With good preventative care of your own body – you won’t have to bleach your whole life as if it was a crime scene!
Flu Shot Hype – worth it in Hoboken NJ?
2/7/2013:
Not sure about you guys – but I see the Flu Shot Hype everywhere I go!
Each and every pharmacy in Hoboken is touting Flu Shots – sometimes even offering them 24 hours a day!
Jeez Louise! Does that “hype” make you wonder why they are promoting it to the utmost degree?
How badly do they want you to “buy the hype” and get injected with God knows what? Because they’ve reported “news” stories and other propaganda? Have you read the reports or undertaken studies yourself?
Yet the majority of the population “fears” the flu (and any dastardly variation, “swine flu,” “bird flu,” etc.) Ever wonder why?
With minimal REAL medical knowledge – why do you think the masses buy into the hype and fear?
Do you buy the Flu Shot Hype?
I’m not going to use this forum to compare notes between “why you should get a flu shot” and “the dangers of flu shots.”
However – since the entire bought and paid for main stream media visible world is PROMOTING that you MUST have a flu shot, I’ll provide some links as to why you should NOT GET FLU SHOTS.
Personally – I have not had a flu shot in TWO decades, and I’m doing just fine.
My honest suggestion? Think twice before you inject suspicious chemicals in your body every single year, just because there are scary stories about all sorts of dangerous diseases, etc.
Turn off your TV and live a better life. Below are some articles you might consider reading:
- Avoid Flu Shots, Take Vitamin D Instead
- 10 REASONS WHY FLU SHOTS ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN A FLU!
- Why the Flu Vaccine Doesn’t Work
- Nurses Fired for Refusing Flu Shot
Do you think flu shots do more long term damage than short-term benefits?

I never had a flu shot until this year. My doctor recommends it every year, but I never got the flu. My mom’s been an RN for 30+ years and this is the first time she pretty much begged me to get it. I did a bit of research on my own and figured I’d get it. Insurance covered it and I didn’t have any negative effects. I’ll buy into the argument that it’s useless before I start believing conspiracy theories that it will hurt you in some way. I’m not that paranoid.
Either way I haven’t gotten the flu, so all I sacrificed was 10 minutes of my life on something that only may have helped me.

Doctors actually give pretty bad medical advice – but it’s good for their pockets, though.

There is also mercury in a can of tuna. And most types of fish for that matter. I take it you don’t eat fish.
One tuna fish sandwich equals one flu vaccine. The difference is the other atoms that compose the compounds. A vaccine has thimerosal, an ethyl mercury is gets eliminated from your blood quickly. Tuna contains methyl mercury, which accumulates over time. If you’re really paranoid, get the mist-type vaccine which contains no thimerosal.

That’s definitely not what the article says. Just because the parents think that’s why she tragically died, doesn’t make it a fact. Probably should wait for autopsy results before stating that as fact.
As I said earlier, I don’t get the flu shot, but to think that these vaccines are killing children is ludicrous and uninformed. Anything we put in our bodies poses some risk. The data show that deaths from vaccines are extremely rare.

I can only speak for myself and personal experiences – I never got the flu shot even though my employer offered it free to everyone in the company – all you had to do was go down to the nurse’s office. (unless of course you were a VP, then the nurse came to you). One year I got the flu and had complications and was out of work several months. After that I got the flu shot every year, and in almost 2 decades I never got the flu again, while others right in my immediate vicinity were constantly sick. Same thing happened to my mother. So, we are believers in the shots now.
I think the big advertising with all the drug stores, etc. stems from a couple of years ago when there was a shortage and people were running all over the place looking to get their shots. While a lot of private doctors didn’t get their shipments the big pharmacies did, and they made lots of extra money giving the shots. So now they advertise a lot and early in the season so people go to them instead of their regular doctor. They’re shifting the healthcare dollar away from private doctors to themselves. In any case, for me personally, I get the shot every year. If you ever get the real flu, as opposed to a really bad cold, you might think differently about getting the shot in the future.
