I honestly had NO idea how evil Pharma, depts of health, etc we’re until my great awakening in 2020. When my kids were little I always had them get flu shots (& other school-required vax’s) & I sporadically got flu shots myself. Great regrets for all of that now & that I wasn’t smarter, but the “silver lining” if one can call it that, is the great awakening for so many now.

I was joking very loudly to my friend in her health food store 5 years ago, mocking the radio commercial of a local pharmacy that was giving away free shots for the previous year’s bug. (Of course I want your stale, mercury-laced shot for the already- mutated-away strain! Such a deal!) So loudly that a pale young man of about 30 approached me. “I’m an RN” he began. Oh no, I thought, now I am going to be lectured. He told me that I was right to speak out, that he had just spent the past year at the Mayo Clinic trying to recover from a severe reaction to shots that a hospital required him to get. Now he was in town staying with his Dad, convalescing and starting to look for some kind of work he might be able to do, even though he was still weak.
I never got one either, in spite of working in hospitals from 1983-2014 as pharmacist, then medical student, then neurosurgery resident and solo neurosurgery practice. It never made sense.
With the advent of weakly effective flu shots there has been scant attention paid to antiviral treatments. And unfortunately the existing approved antivirals in use (not talking about Ivermectin here) appear to have limited efficacy for flu and parainfluenza. Moreover public health policy makes it next to impossible to get an antiviral prescription which is supposed to be taken as soon as possible (within 48 hours) after diagnosis. Most can't even get into a doctor in that time let alone get the doctor to prescribe an antiviral. And our system doesn't like people to have medication on hand.
I predict government and hospital systems will seek to crush functional medicine doctors who are outcompeting them.
I never got a flu shot either. I have never had the flu but have experienced colds & sinus infections and treated with rest, vit c, echnachia, soup, the usual remedies that always took care of whatever in a few days. It seems people these days do not have no common sense. Get exercise, sunshine,do not eat so much...only tiny bits of sugar, no Pesticides laugh, dance and be grateful.
Flu shot in 2020 was our last. Another crappy jab that doesn't do what it's supposed to. Here in the UK they were only routinely given to vulnerable (me, asthmatic) and children under 12. I got flu every winter for the past 4 winters. 2021, no flu jab, no flu.....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never got one either! Having a suppressed immune system, it never made sense to me to deliberately just inject myself with something that could potentially attack it. I might encounter it in the wild, so to speak, but I’m not going up to poke the bear on purpose.
Something kind of related to this, which has niggled at me over the years, is how what is considered the flu has changed from when I was a kid. Growing up, if you caught a bug that gave you a fever and chills, made you vomit and have diarrhea, THAT was the flu. Somewhere between then and now the flu changed to purely respiratory bug, like a cold, but worse. How did I miss the memo on this?
If anyone has some information on how that all changed or how me and every other person I knew growing up were just wrong, I’d really like to hear it. Because at this point I’ve ascribed it to the Mandela Effect. It’s very weird to me.
If the results are even close one should not take the drug. First, we all know the numbers get fudged. Second, the long term effects can’t be quantified. But the chances of them being good are almost nonexistent.
I refused to take the mandatory “voluntary” flu vaccination at one facility I was employed at and the management said they would let me prepare a saline shot if I would pretend it was the vaccine as they didn’t want any other “resistors.”
I told them why not give everyone the saline shot option, for “solidarity.”
Then they asked “What would be the purpose of giving the vaccine.”
I asked them “What is the purpose of giving the vaccine?”
“Surely you’re joking” was the reply.
“I never joke about my work” I said.
Then I told them I guess we have to part company over this, but can “I finish out the day.”
They said “Sure, but you can’t tell anyone about this conversation.”
“I don’t have too, I pushed the intercom button on the phone as soon as you entered the office.”

Way back when I was a child about 5 or 6 my mother would take me over to play with kids I did not know and really did not want to play with, especially after I saw them. they had mumps, or measles or chicken pox. I caught them one at a time and then passed them on to my younger brother. It was the mother's vaccination network back then and none of us died or even saw a doctor. Yes we had chicken soup.
Had the oral polio vaccines when they came out in the 50s, my mother thought that polio had to do with sanitation mostly, she may have been right.
I really think that a well nurtured immune system can due the job.
I came to the USA in Jan of 2021, just getting in under the traveler quarantine deadline by two days. I liquidated my business, shipping everything out from an unheated warehouse in freezing temperatures. It was an internet business that sold ancient Tibetan art, mostly monastic furniture. I came from the tropics, where I live and it was a shock to the system, however I loaded up with vitamins D and C and blackseed oil and managed to not get sick for the 30 days it took me to liquidate the entire business. Never wore a mask except to get on the plane; had to travel from an Island close to Madagascar, to Europe, spending two days there to get connecting flight to the west coast of the USA. Did not get sick, and refuse to take any jabs.
And it’s not mutually exclusive with other motives that are then opportunistically piled on top by other related actors.

Thanks. Fascinating information. Hey, question, do you know if there is anything in the medical field that is not a scam when you unpack it?

It was a beautiful afternoon at the beach.
You *cannot* overestimate the mendacity caused by human greed.
The flu shot has nothing to do with your health. It is made and sold to keep vaccine manufacturing plants humming and ready for a pandemic shot.

We are, almost too obviously, peas in a pod. With apology if I seem to be engaging in a little good-natured comparison-making, here is a piece I wrote way back in 2007: https://www.lewrockwell.com/2007/10/wilton-alston/dont-get-a-flu-shot/
The likelihood exists that my analysis is not as good as yours, but we reached the same conclusion. :-)
