Hi Quiz Master

Here are a few points of view

Flu shot left Canadian executive paralyzed
Two weeks after his flu shot, Mr. Claman awoke with a pounding headache and a strange feeling in his feet. The doctor was reassuring, telling the 47-year-old businessman that the symptoms were probably related to stress. His condition deteriorated, so he made his way to a hospital emergency room. His body was gradually going numb. Doctors immediately recognized the tell-tale signs of Guillain Barre syndrome, a baffling, potentially fatal condition that resembles polio. By afternoon, Mr. Claman was completely paralyzed. He was placed in intensive care and put on a respirator. He spent the next eight months in hospital and now, a year after his flu shot, is just beginning to walk unassisted again. "It's been a harrowing experience," Mr. Claman said in an interview. more
Why I Never Get Flu Shots

According to Hugh Fudenberg, MD, the world's leading immunogeneticist and 13th most quoted biologist of our times (nearly 850 papers in peer review journals), if an individual has had five consecutive flu shots between 1970 and 1980 (the years studied), his/her chances of getting Alzheimer's Disease is ten times higher than if they had one, two or no shots. I asked Dr. Fudenberg why this was so and he said it was due to the mercury and aluminum that is in every flu shot (and most childhood shots). The gradual mercury and aluminum buildup in the brain causes cognitive dysfunction. Is that why Alzheimer's is expected to quadruple?

Flu shot will NOT protect you from All the types of flu, but Yes, get the flu shot.
My mother gets a flu shot every year.
Last year she got the flu 3 mos. after getting a flu shot.....her doctor said the flu shot she got did not protect against the type of flu that she got sick with.
So getting a shot, doesn't mean you will definitely not get the flu, but it's probably a good thing to do.

I use to think like that and never got the flu shot, even when i worked at a hospital for 6 years, then a couple of years ago my husband and i both got such bad respiratory coughs/infections and had a hard time getting over it even with taking antibiotics, so since then we've gotten the flu shot and i did get a cough last year, but nothing like before! It just seems to me it's common sense to get one because their is alot more going around these days!

Yes, definately get the flu shot. The flu shot saves lives period. The only way you can get sick from the flu shot is if the doctor giving you the shot had the flu himself and coughed on you or if someone had a cold in the doctors office and you had to sit their a long time and you got it. Otherwise its impossible.

The reason you should get a flu shot is so that you can visit your elederly grandparents at home or in nursing homes and not make them deathly sick. Old people can easily die if they get the flu.

I get a flu shot every year. I've never had any side effects from it. But even if I did, I would still get the shot. I've gotten very very sick whenever I've had the flu, and it's not fun!

They say that the newest flu shots will not make you sick, but I'm not so sure they really stop you from getting the flu either. They're really meant for very old and very young people so that if they get sick they will have a better chance of fighting it off.

No, I don't agree. I imagine some people do... but how do they know they weren't going to get the cold anyway?

I've gotten a flu shot every year for several years now, as my employer offers it for free. I used to sometimes get asthma and severe respiratory infections that took weeks to go away. Now, I don't get them any more.
