True story: An acquaintance of mine said she takes the flu shot every year but was upset because she always gets sick immediately after taking the shot and gets the flu/cold every Winter season anyway. I didn't speak up, but I wanted to say STOP TAKING THE SHOT.
The flu shot is worthless and a waste of taxpayer dollars, especially for older people, proven by many peer-reviewed studies.
Yet, the CDC and FDA continue to push the shot non-stop. Who does the FDA and CDC work for...certainly not the citizens of the US, judging by their actions and recommendations.
