Im 100% anti flu shot but all these horror stories and making me think twice.
We too are 100% anti flu shot. I heard this year the shot is somewhere between 10%-30% effective. Funny thing about the flu shots. My daughter has asthma. Allergy induced. The doctors were always on her to get the flu shot. As a college age young adult, she got the shots for a few years. She thought she was doing the right thing. She would get the flu so bad and be really sick. She stopped getting the shots and has been good for years...until this year. We believe that because the virus mutates when the flu shot is made, that it could indeed be making the strains more resistant to the shots. I think it defiantly messes with your natural immune system. We think because Amy was on antibiotics for a sinus infection right before she knew she had the flu, it messed with her body. Flu being a virus and all.
