I think the flu vaccine is good for some with health problems that effect their immune system or even those who work in healthcare but for the CDC and state health depts to be giving them out free to every tom d*ck & harry that wants one, that's when it presents a problem and the flu virus mutates to fight against the vaccine. Get a clue!

People who refuse to get the vaccine should thank the people who do - we are keeping the flu from spreading like wildfire and protecting you -- for whatever reason you are telling yourself it's okay not to get vaccinated, you're doing the public a disservice in not getting the shot. What if no one got the shot? We'd be in an epidemic situation. Fools.

WPSARK I agree with you everything from bug repellant to antibotics dosnt seem to work effenctialy as it used to and drug manufactures know this their in it for the money think about it if we had a cure we would only need to use it once (no money to be made their )

the flu vaccine is what is making the virus stronger and mutating!!! When will the "CDC" realize that? Big pharma keeps pushing these vaccines to make money and lack the foresight or "give a damn" to evaluate the reprecussions...I hope I'm not speaking too soon but I haven't had the flu in 6 years, never had a flu shot and won't ever get one.
