Effectiveness of the Flu Vaccine against Influenza? | Global Research

The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie—
deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent,
persuasive, and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of
opinion  without the discomfort of thought. – John Fitzgerald Kennedy (1917–1963)

Just take a walk or drive around this time of year and you can’t help
noticing signs for the flu vaccine. They’re pretty much everywhere,
lining entire parking lots and walkways into markets. They encourage
everyone to get the shot – telling you to “walk in anytime” and of
course accepting insurance. Some even offer incentives to get the
vaccine such as a giving a 20% off shopping pass with every flu shot. At
workplaces across the country notices are sent out offering shots at
flu clinics. It’s a full court press promoting the vaccine everywhere
for everyone.

I called my local pharmacy to find out who could get the shot. They
told me I didn’t even need a doctor’s note. I asked if a pregnant woman
could get the shot and they said that it wasn’t contraindicated, but
some people ask for preservative free shots. I asked if I was feeling
under the weather if I could still get the shot and the answer was “sure
no problem.”

So it’s easy. No doctor’s note. All you need is insurance and if you
don’t have it just $31.99 per shot – at least that’s the price at my
local pharmacy. It didn’t even matter if you were sick you’re ready for
your shot. It couldn’t be any simpler.
