apparently so..................So a few cases where vaccines are shown to be detrimental to a few cases means all vaccines are bad for all people, right, Stretch?
:tard:
Yes it is much better to get sick on a work day.I get the "flu shot" every autumn when it is offered.... never had a reaction until this year...
I had it Thursday and Friday afternoon began to feel headachy - Saturday was the worst and was unable to find my stupid thermometer which was probably best because I didn't want to know what it would read....Sunday was
as bad and this morning I'm gonna live but having gone for years with no reaction to flu shots I might be
thinking twice for the future...
No fair getting sick on a weekend and feeling well on Monday!!!

You are probably right - but it isn't as dramatic (lol).... of course I could imagine having a wonderful smooch session with some gorgeous guy and if I caught the flu from him, it would have been ok...
Flu isn't very dramatic is it? I mean if you are gonna get sick, it should be something caught in the jungles of darkest Ethopia or wherever...

Apparently, this decreases your risk of suffering heart attacks. There's been a known seasonal component in cardiac arrests for years. Some thought the exertion of shoveling snow, or perhaps inactivity during the winter months. Turns out, that a thorough analysis of flu shots and heart attacks turns up an effect. The risk is far lower in groups who regularly get flu shots.
"When the researchers accounted for a range of other factors in heart attack risk -- like high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and family history of heart disease -- they found that flu vaccination was associated with a 19 percent reduction in the odds of suffering a heart attack over the next year, as compared with no vaccination."Flu shot linked to reduced heart attack risk | Reuters
And it's not without mechanism either. Inflammation increases plaque production, so less inflammation without influenza means less plaque production.
This was back in the 80s so not sure if the exact scenario would play out today- probably not.
Oh I think it would. People still die from heart disease, and people still get the flu.
And of course the anti-vaxxers have been quite successful on such shakey grounds. In the future we may see flu rates go up, as well as heart disease...
All of this skepticism for vaccines is unbalanced. There are risks of course, but the risks that these diseases pose to our population are higher still.
Perhaps, but what about quality of life? Some spend the rest of their lives as Guinea pigs. I have had two heart attacks 14 years ago and congestive heart failure 3 years ago and today I feel like a new person, no operations and am almost off meds. If I told doctors how I did it they would tell me I'm crazy. I won't dispute that but I am none the less healthier than I have been since the early 90s.I just meant that with the tremendous advances in medicine today, their life expectancy may be much longer.

Absolutely. I lost two cousins (brother and sister) in their 50s a month apart from congestive heart failure which was caused (the docs figure) from a flu virus at some point in their lives. They were both dead within 5 years of onset of the condition. This was back in the 80s so not sure if the exact scenario would play out today- probably not.
