Shots...

That said, I still find the medical ignorance here horrifying, especially the claim that vaccinations tax your system. Hint: everything you get in a vaccination is dead. Inactive. Expired. Do the math.

Not always. Some vaccinations are dead and others are only the antigenic parts of the virus or bacteria but you do also get vaccinations where they inject you with a live, but weakened organism. So they can tax your system and if you have a particularly weak immune system you can get the disease from the vaccination, although much weaker.

I was actually meaning to mention that: untested vaccinations are exempt from my point. Hell, the H1N1 vacc caused more problems than the original virus.

 

[Telnac]

Always! People are much more likely to be killed by the flu than they are some deadly plague. I will leev fo'eva! (God willing )

OK, the main reason I get them is that I'm a wuss and hate being sick.

You do realize that that woman was pretty much faking it for attention, right? She claimed to be cured by pressure chamber therapy given to her by a doctor that thinks injecting urine into you is good for you.

lol k stopping now I swear

 

[Mikael Grizzly]

Tell me about it. I've always been encouraged to wear as little as possible to build up my resistance. End result? I like colds and can take them well, but I end up sweating like a pig on hot days. My wife is on the other side of the spectrum - she was forced to wear as much as possible, so she ended up building up a tolerance for heat but she can't take lower temperatures.

I swear, sometimes, parents are worse than the black death. At least the plague kills you fast.

 

[HotRodLincoln]

Never gotten flu shots, never had the flu

 

[Subrosa]

Shit, I've just realized how long it's been since I've had one.

 

[Rakuen Growlithe]

You know it doesn't matter how much or little you wear. Whether you get a flu doesn't depend on the temperature it depends on whether you get infected with the virus.
