Anyone Here Getting A Flu Shot?



Coincidentally, your statement about my knowledge of logic is illogical. sad face.

You can't even quote me properly.

Go reread what i said. I said you lack logic. I did not make a statement about your knowledge of logic. Should I go on about your reading comprehension again?
 
They advertise free flu shots all over the cheap beer section of Rite-Aids in the shittiest neighborhoods. That's enough to steer me away from it.

btw. If your doctor asks whether you want a ct or an mri. Go with the ct. xray way less dangerous than those magnetic beam deathrays.

Ummm hello, with a CT scan you have to get A SHOT. That's what I'm trying to avoid. Let's be honest with ourselves, it's not about effectiveness, we are just afraid of needles.
 
What the public sees is a high figure for effectiveness without knowing where it came from.

I don't see how the public would view 61% as a high figure. Condom sales would plummet if they had those rates and publicized them.


Report: Complacency, misperception stymie quest for better flu vaccines | CIDRAP

The world needs much better influenza vaccines, but the quest for them faces a formidable barrier: overconfidence about the effectiveness of existing influenza vaccines...

Protection is "substantially lower" than what is offered by other routinely recommended vaccines.

Despite this, the vaccines are generally perceived as highly effective, and this misperception has become a barrier to creating new, more effective vaccines
