My sister was vaccinated for the flu in December. Now she is very sick with the same flu she was vaccinated for. She has been tested and it has been varified it is the same flu she was vaccinated for.
My husband works for aging and adult services. He said that each year after they vaccinate the patients in the nursing homes he starts losing clients. They start dying. He has lost at least six clients in the last two weeks he told me.
I have only taken the flu shot once in my life. It was when I was at college over 30 years ago they encouraged us to take flu shots because we were living in the dorms. That year I got sicker than I have ever been before. I ended up having to come home from college for a week to recover. I have never taken another flu shot in my life. I have only gotten sick with a fever maybe three or four times in the last 30 years or so since then.
Every time I see my doctor he pesters me to take a flu shot. I refuse and he thinks I am nuts. Oh well. I am sure my number will come up one of these days, but why bother with the flu shot if it doesn't work that well anyway? Seems crazy to me.
