Ive had a 'hip' one before...man, that was my dang butt cheekI have learned to tolerate them in the last few years. But the ones they put in your hip are really super easy and painless.

When I was on active duty, they forced me to take a flu shot each year. Every freaking time, I got the full blown flu two days later. I would go to medical and they would say, "it's not possible to get flu from the flu shot".
Im telling you they were wrong.
The flu shot is a dead virus; you cannot get the flu from a flu shot. You CAN get the flu from the mist, which is a live virus. Most people who get a vaccine, and get the flu, get the non-prevalent strain, and not from the injection.
pretty sure you can get flu-like symptoms from the dead flu shot. There's no such thing as free antibodies. Your body has to have an immunoresponse.
Is a virus the "dead material" discarded from a healing cell? I heard this the other day, but I have no knowledge on the subject.
vaccine...rushed to market in record time, for a virus with a 98% survival rate? No thanks. If my job requires it then well....it's time to
RETIRE.
my body my choice
interesting that you mentioned that part. Thimerosal.....aka mercury. Guess most people would have side effects from mercury even a small amount.the preservative,
Viruses are technically neither living nor dead, they are smaller than bacteria, strands of DNA/RNA, needing a host body to grow and mutate.

That'll be a hard no for me on both counts.

Thmerosal...lol, not that's a whole 'nother topic deserving of its' own thread...(contains mercury, but isn't mercury....)
Not all vaccines have it, but flu shots, do. Others use different preservatives. Me, my Achilles' heel is bacteriostatic saline. Wherever I get a shot that uses it, that area turns red and swells up.

You guys fussin bout some vaccine full of weird stuff and youll go get a bucket o chicken from KFC
You're probably too young to remember this barrel of fun, but when I was a kid my brother and I would play with the mercury from the thermometers.....Try to buy some mercury.... See what happens....

Laugh of the Day Award, right here!No wonder you have trouble seeing the front sight!!!!
( I did too...)
While you can get "flu-like symptoms" from the flu shot, most people have side effects/untoward effects, and call them "flu-like symptoms." It usually comes from the preservative, and not the virus. For a flu shot, you don't need the live virus: the activated B cells and sensitized T cells will recognize the virus as an invader and create antibodies.
Ironically, the nasal flu mist with the live virus, it doesn't "really" give you flu, just can heighten the side effects, is less effective than the flu shot because the flu shot makes more antibodies, and the antibodies last longer. The flu mist triggers cells in the nasal mucosa, which makes the side effects worse.

They may study efficacy of vaccines, but they are not required to share it with anyone. Everything about vaccines is different from regular pharma, by federal law... labeling, ingredients, development data, etc.I understand the vaccine liability stuff, but what law or group prevents studying efficacy?
I'm asking this because several of the papers I had to write in college dealt with efficacy of various medications and I found plenty of studies for those from hospitals, universities, and labs.
Military been using the mist for years (shots were for those with allergies i believe).
When was that? It must be a branch related thing, we never had the mist, we always had the shot.
Air Force always gets the fancy stuff first...AF, shot first couple years, mist after that
Switched around 03ish if i had to guess
A lot of you boys hate science don’t ya
Oh yeah..... a science fiction story. I guess I'd base my life choices on that.
