Tell me what is in the concoction. Common sense. I am 62 and haven't had the flu for 40 years. I am no threat to anyone, and my immune system is much stronger than most that vax.

Tell me, if you vax why are you so worried about contracting something from me. Baffling!

Where in my post do you get that impression?

The influenza immunization contains a dead specimen of the strain of influenza predicted to be the dominant strain in any particular flu season. It can't make you sick. It stimulates the immune system's production of influenza antibodies that help prevent infection if one is exposed to the live virus.

The prediction is not always 100% correct, and the vaccine sometime offers only a 25% immunity against the flu. But 25% can be the difference between life and death. There. Now you know.

NOT injected into your veins. By the way some people can’t get the vaccine for various medical reasons (like babies under 6 months) so it’s best if others around them get vaccinated. Also people like me who have to take chemo meds, even though I get a flu shot, I could still get the flu thanks to people like you who refuse to get a flu shot just because they don’t want to.

you can google and find out what is in the "concoction"

You probably think that global warming is a hoax as well, don't you?

Where did they film the fraudulent "moon landing" footage?

What are chem-trails really made up of?

Where does Bigfoot hang out?

When are The Illuminati going to take over for good?

My daughter's friend is currently homeschooled due to a brain tumor and subsequent treatments that are shredding his immune response. He's 9; the flu would kill him.

I got lucky, the person who did the shot did it well. My arm was sore for less than 24 hours. That's it. Please get a flu shot if you can.

To make you think you are sicker than a puppy.

But it's the other things, not the flu.

I have the same reaction to many pre-packaged food preservatives as this: Humorously odd irony is consuming any package of pastry labelled a "Mrs. Freshley's" product-- wham, I'm in full blown anaphylaxis. I made that mistake at work once too. When my allergy profile was done back in the 1980's, my back was a shocker, a red swollen mess all over. Nowadays I carry an epi-pen and benedryl.
Skittles are out, too. I have to skip the rainbow-- and ruined a movie date to boot.
Anyway it turned out years ago I had severe reactions from the thiomersal preservative when flu shots were commonly drawn from multi-use vials to add to my extensive list of medication, food color, preservative and some environmental allergies. Every year. I shocked a number of nurses I worked with, who had given me the flu shot a few hours earlier who had assured me of the "you'll be fine" with my bloated, angry hives, SOB and vomiting till dry heaves. Three times I had to spend the night in the med/surg after a breathing treatment, antiemetic, benedryl and IV saline.
Nowadays I discovered I can head off the mild reaction I still get even from the pre-loaded syringe with lower thiomersal content, and found I did better doing the hot saltwater osmosis reversal trick soon after the shot, a benedryl before and at bedtime.
So, it's funny I've had this conversation with many nurses over the years, heading off "No, I don't get the flu from the flu shot", I simply have a brief, usually only a few hours, reaction. No other symptoms.
My condition is rare, but it can happen to some MCS individuals.
