Never had a winter flu jab, but after last winter in which I was quite ill I have decided to have the jab. David Icke does say it's a vaccine for mind control but I'm going to take the risk.
If you are a poor working adult like me then you'll have to pay. If anyone is thinking of having a paid vaccine then the cheapest places are :
MORRISONS
ASDA
Both at £7.00 a shot. Phone to make booking.
FLU JABS.

I'm with you on this Mal - I had flu in April for the first time in my adult life. It was f'ing awful, I lost about 10lbs over two-three weeks of having it - I'm in the process of organising my jab.
Mal when Taxi Dave and Nesty were young un's like you before the war they never had the problem l reckon its all the open borders and immigration
The new yearly flu strain comes from South East Asia; pigs and birds spread the virus and inevitably onto humans and humans tend to use planes more than we ever did and travel the world, this is a major problem to tackle the flu: air travel is a big menace regarding viruses spreading globally. Immigration doesn't help.C.V wrote:Mal when Taxi Dave and Nesty were young un's like you before the war they never had the problem l reckon its all the open borders and immigration

Just tho add.
Having high levels antioxidants is a great way of tackling the flu virus. Eating more fruit and vegetables in the winter would be beneficial. Also one of the greatest weapons is to consume a glass of green tea at least three times a day.

Mass use of the jab will make the strains more resistant and the effect of the vaccine less pronounced. That is why only the at-risk groups are encouraged to get them. Those of us who would survive a bout of flu should not be rushing to be vaccinated. In just the same way, our society's reliance on anti-biotics for the most minor ailments will also bite us in the ass in the next few years.

Unlike the MMR jab where a minimum number of people need it for it to work, yet people didn't want it.

As an education professional, I can state firmly that the paranoia and fear of autism/ASD hangs in the air at every single Parents' Evening. Not so many parents seem concerned about measles, mumps and rubella. Even though their children are more likely to a) suffer from one of these at some point, b) come to serious harm from them and c) easily avoid them by taking a simple vaccination, they'd rather take their (or rather, let their child take their) chances just in case the widely-ridiculed false link (not backed up by evidence) that a now-discredited doctor made happens to be true. Progress.

Keep on the green tea for two or three weeks: "Once protected with the flu vaccination, it can take 10–21 days before protection commences"Malabus wrote:Had my jab today at Morrisons....worth every penny if it works.

Sounds like you never had real man flu, Shade.Shade wrote:Would rather have the dreaded flu than a jab whilst I'm young and fit enough to fight it naturally.
Plus...a week on the sick is worth a few days of sweating my balls off, feeling sick and being sore all over
A doctor I once knew said that if you're in bed sneezing, achy, hot and cold, etc and you see a £50 note blowing around in the wind outside - if you struggle out to get it, you've just got a bad cold. If you think "f#$k it" and wrap yourself up tighter in the duvet, then you've got the flu.

But that is something you cannot quantify. If you go all winter without getting flu was it because of the jab or was it because you never came into contact with the virus.Malabus wrote:Had my jab today at Morrisons....worth every penny if it works.
But if you do happen to get flu then you will say the jab was a waste of money and didn't work.
I was given three strains and now my immune system has the valuable information required to destroy any potential attack.taxidave wrote:But that is something you cannot quantify.

Three jabs! So next year each of those strains will have adapted to get round the vaccine and there will be six jabs needed.
