Had it last year and I kept really well all winter. I felt lousy on the night of the jab though. This year I had no side effects on the night.

I have had it, i have it every year now there's a version not grown on egg.

I have asthma plus i work in a big place with hundreds of people working there so it's advised that i have it.

It's not a "live" vacine so it can't make you ill but you can feel slightly under the weather a few days after having it.

people that create these vaccines have to guess at the strain that will follow in the next year... 1 in a multi million chance of getting it right...

as you said these vaccines contain all sorts of worse things than the flu... why pump yourself full of carcinogens and formaldehyde as well as a flu strain in order to be given a 1 in a million shot to be slightly more immune to the right flu virus. makes 0 sense to me. give me the flu i'll take it like a man... hmmm may have to rethink that.

Rubella is a fairly mild illness, like chicken pox, the vaccination was actually intended to cut back cases with pregnant women which can sometimes lead to more serious problems!

The CDC hid evidence for many years that the mmr vaccine had a slight autism risk attached to it.

I think when you get stuff like this happening it undermines the faith people have.

The evidence should be just explained and then let people make their own minds up.

Personally I can see the point of vaccinating against measles but not really for mumps or rubella

Scaremongering.

You don'yt pump yourself full of anything.

There are traces of Formaldehyde in the flu vaccine but normal people have higher levels of Formaldehyde in their bloodstream naturally.

In a similar manner we all have more mecury in our systems than the tiny amounts in a dose of flu vaccine.

A healthy person will consumme mor mecury in a portion of fish than in a lifetimes flu jabs

I have the flu jab every year.

The side effects are minimal, maybe a rise in temperature or a heavy feel in the arm.

It is a myth that the jab can bring on flu. people also moan that they still get colds. It only protects against the flu so you may still have a heavy cold, it just won't be flu.

The neurological effects of vaccines are not fully known, the cdc hid some data that showed a statistically higher incidents of autism amongst I think (African American children) although I'm not sure it was the mmr vaccine or just vaccines in general.

The truth is like I said in the beginning every vaccine carries a risk attached to it, the medical establishment weighs the pros against the cons

Yeah i know all that. What i was meaning is that you can't get flu from it ... many people seem to think you can. Many also say they got a cold after having it and that's not true either as it's not a live vacine. They would have got the cold anyway plus the vacine isn't fully working until approx 3 weeks after having it.

I have it now cus i am a chronic, not very well controlled asthmatic and i am advised to have it and on the years i havn't had it i have had flu which made me very ill.

I get it every year (chronic asthmatic) since I had flu that developed into life-threatening pneumonia. The vaccine won't protect you against every single strain of flu, but it's still worth it when you weigh up the alternative.

I'm not in a group that needs it but if I were, I absolutely would.

On vaccinations in general, Andrew Wakefield should be charged with manslaughter for children who have died from measles since his fraudulent research convinced gullible people of a link between things that weren't there. What he did was criminal and it's infuriating to still see it being peddled today.

And actually mumps and rubella really shouldn't be dismissed so easily. There was a big mumps outbreak at my university because we were the age group too old to have had MMR but too young to have gained natural exposure to it. Some people ended up really quite badly ill, even in a young and generally healthy age group.

Our daughter caught measles before she was old enough to be vaccinated against it, it really isn't a nice illness.

We know of a man who had mumps as an adult and it rendered him unable to have children.

I'm pro vaccination.

"I'm not in a group that needs it but if I were, I absolutely would.

On vaccinations in general, Andrew Wakefield should be charged with manslaughter for children who have died from measles since his fraudulent research convinced gullible people of a link between things that weren't there. What he did was criminal and it's infuriating to still see it being peddled today.

And actually mumps and rubella really shouldn't be dismissed so easily. There was a big mumps outbreak at my university because we were the age group too old to have had MMR but too young to have gained natural exposure to it. Some people ended up really quite badly ill, even in a young and generally healthy age group. "
.

Actually Wakefield's paper that was printed in the launcet stated there was no casual causations found or proven from autism and mmr, his paper was authored by twelve other Dr,s and it was about a possible link between a new bowel inflammation,mmr and various other things...

The whole controversy was caused by a stupid press and a stupid public jumping on a personal statement he made at a press conference!... So you'd be better off charging the press, his research would have been found false afterwards no matter what!

I've had mine since a kind GP, eager for bonuses no doubt, gave it to me a few weeks ago. Worst aching ever, as he slammed it into me. Had them for a few years and no flu. It's the best way if we keep herd immunity high, to prevent widespread problems.

Oh ffs woman, don't tell them that!

Everyone knows you have to be 65 to get the flu jab, so now they'll know we lied about your age on the profile

"I have had it, i have it every year now there's a version not grown on egg.

I have asthma plus i work in a big place with hundreds of people working there so it's advised that i have it.

It's not a "live" vacine so it can't make you ill but you can feel slightly under the weather a few days after having it..

It's not the virus perse that can have side affects though!

The indigents of a vaccine can vary a great deal, from mercury to formaldehyde and do have known risks attached

I don't get vaccinated for anything unless I feel it's warranted weighing up the pros and cons

people that create these vaccines have to guess at the strain that will follow in the next year... 1 in a multi million chance of getting it right...

as you said these vaccines contain all sorts of worse things than the flu... why pump yourself full of carcinogens and formaldehyde as well as a flu strain in order to be given a 1 in a million shot to be slightly more immune to the right flu virus. makes 0 sense to me. give me the flu i'll take it like a man... hmmm may have to rethink that. "

I'll bite.

The chance is not 1 in a million, it is more than 90+%. The flu starts the rounds in southeast Asia usually and spreads from there. From that we know the strain that is the most likely candidate and a vaccine is made. Most of the time they get it right but sometimes like last year they don't. If you get proper flu, i.e. not man flu you are going to wish you had the jab. For the usual fit and healthy person it isn't more than a rather unpleasant week but with underlying health problems it can well be fatal. Thousands of people die from it every year in the UK so if you fall in to the group with health problems it is a good idea.

No the jab can't give you flu, what it does is give you an immune response which is why some feel a bit under the weather for a day. If these people actually had had proper flu at any point in their lives they'd know it isn't flu.

As for carcinogens, well yes. Now there is a reason why all that stuff is in there. Either as preservatives, as byproducts or to have a specific function. Aluminium is for example used to provoke an immune response to make vaccine effective. The amounts are small though. Like someone else wrote eating a portion of fish will give you more of the heavy metals and eating an some will give you many times more formaldehyde than the jab.

As for the whole autism thing from vaccines. The short answer is that they don't in any way, shape or form cause autism. The long answer is that autism starts manifesting around the time when kids have the MMR vaccine and parents want to blame someone or something. Look up the Cochrane re_iew (the very best evaluation of clinical studies you can get) and see what they say. In short again, there is no link. In fact even the recent study by the anti vaccine movement managed to prove exactly the same thing which was pretty priceless.

My personal opinion is that you shouldn't be allowed to put your kids in a public school or nursery if you haven't had the relevant vaccinations.

They aren't perfect but they have eradicated things that our parents were terrified of. Measles, meningitis, diphtheria and polio have been starting to make a comeback which is very concerning. All thanks to some scared people who refuse to listen to reason and peddle the lies of various people making vast sums of money.

Andrew Wakefield wasn't struck off from the GMC for making uncomfortable discoveries but rather for research fraud for monetary reasons. He made well over a quarter of a million from it in consulting fees alone. Yes big pharma aren't the nicest if people but these anti vaxxers activists aren't any better, in fact worse since they try to hide the fact. We know GSK etc are in it for the money.

I have had one for about 8 years now due to underlying medical conditions. Never been ill through it.

It's not a live vaccine so you cannot get flu from having the flu jab however I guess as your body is fighting the vaccine I guess you can feel a little drained etc.

One year I had swine flu, normal flu and the pneumonia on all on the same appointment. God did my arms ache that day lol

.

I actually fully agree with you however..

Wakefield was not struck off for fraud, he was struck off for unnecessary procedures on children against their best interest!.

Science is great and achieves marvellous wonders, however the pharmaceutical industry is not exactly the white knight you proclaim,

The vaccine for Meningitis b was developed in the 80s in Cuba but they've dragged there feet on it for profit reasons mostly.

Jonas Salk who invented the polio vaccine came under immense pressure to sell the vaccine to pharmaceutical industry, it was the only the fact that he was an extremely nice guy dedicated to his job, that he gave it away for free and because it was free it almost eradicated polio because it was widely available, on a side note the rival guy working at Merkel to also cure polio but with a live virus well it's now accepted that he probably caused the outbreak of the hiv virus from west African green apes!.

Personally I don't blame the guy, he was genuinely acting in good faith to cure an already awful disease of polio but that's how vaccines work, in effect your curing by numbers eg 0.8% die from measles but only 0.01% will suffer from serious side affects, so that's considered a net benefit on the data!

I don't belive in forcing people to do anything medically, I'd rather just have honest serious debate and let people make up their own mind, but just as there's bollocks from anti vaccine groups, there's quite a bit from pharmaceutical giants also with the wider angle of drugs in general not just vaccines!
