[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every single time I have gotten a flu shot, I get the flu.  Every year that I skip the shot, I don't get the flu.

No you don't. You might get sick, it might even be a terrible cold, but it isn't the flu. [/quote]

Yes. I. Do.
It's quite odd that you keep telling me what has and has not happened to me.  I have been a nanny for 15 years.  In those 15 years, I've had the flu shot 3 times.  During those 3 flu seasons, I caught the flu.  The other 7 years, I skipped the flu shot and did not get the flu.
I am in no way claiming that the shot caused my illness.  I am definitely pro-vaccination.  In my experience, getting the flu shot does not 100% prevent flu. It was absolutely Influenza.  I've had a cold and food poisoning before...the flu feels ENTIRELY different.[/quote]

7 + 3 = 10 sweetie, not 15.
The way you worded your initial post, it sounded like you blamed the shot for your flu. [/quote]

Pardon my math.  You read my initial post the way you wanted to.
Do you enjoy being an assh*** to complete strangers?  Good luck to your family.  I hope they survive you.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but 7 plus 3 is not complicated math.  Was your "flu" confirmed with a lab test? A lot of times people think they have the flu when they don't.  Honestly it sounds like it's in your head that if you get the flu shot you are going to get the flu. [/quote]
