so, now they offer specific instructions for theoretical risk eh ???
§§§ Flumist is indicated for healthy, nonpregnant persons aged 2 through 49 years. Persons who care for severely immunosuppressed persons who require a protective environment should not receive FluMist given the theoretical risk for transmission of the live-attenuated vaccine virus.

I wonder if this is a tiny taste of what may be to come: get implanted with a microchip or be forbidden from purchasing anything.
Add me to the list of those who have never had the flu despite never having had the shot.

Kids can't attend class at Texas schools unless they have their shots. Now here's something interesting: they are now implementing hand scanners for paying school lunches. It involves identifying unique palm and vein patterns in the hand. People are complaining about having an ID card with an RFID chip but I think this is much worse.

That's worth it's own thread.

As far as being sure that you are being injected with a completely dead virus, there is no guarantee of that, is there?
When my youngest daughter received the MMR as a toddler, it gave her a vicious, raging case of the measels. At first the doctor said that was impossible, then later he had to admit that certain batches didn't exaclty contain "dead" viruses, they kinda sorta screwed up.
The truth is, you don't know exactly what you are really being vaccinated with, do you?

Yeah, it's so bad now that I have gotten it 1 time in the past 18 years and no flu shots either. Stick a fork in it.
I do not honestly believe that the flu shot caused me to get the flu

Well, it clearly did not stop ya from getting the flu either, and isn't that the purpose of it? I never got the flu shot and I've seen it promoted everywhere at Walgreen's and CVS pharmacies etc.

Here's something else that's interesting: Flu shots triple hospitalization rates in children. The majority of flu shots contain enough mercury to make it unsafe by the EPA.

I can't understand why I should risk my healthy immune system to a vaccine, or why anyone would want to
compel me to take this vaccine for an illness as innocuous as the flu. I know the flu can kill but it
is generally fatal to those with already compromised immune systems...mine is fine, leave me alone.
My wife is lying in bed right now with an IV. She takes about twenty pills a day, heart pills, allergy pills,
diabetes medication, steroids, asthma meds...the list is incredible....and she is sick all the time.
For me, that last injection I had was in the seventies, the last doctor visit was in 84 for an
STD.....Maybe It's just a lucky set of genes that keep me well, but I leave the possibility
open that maybe sometimes the very medications we take help keep our immune systems
weak and contribute to our illness.
For me I never shy away from exposing my immune system to danger. I purposefully give
it exercise....I believe all the hand sanitizers and germ killing soaps and over-prescribing of
antibiotic drugs instead of letting some illness run its course is making
the human condition weaker and weaker. we are setting ourselves us up for a big fall
in the future by this over-protectiveness....in fact that idea permeates all facets of
society, social, political and health related....we're becoming a bunch wussies
