Flu shots?

[KellyFrancis]

One opinion:
I suspect that there aren't any sources of truly unbiased information.
Most health choices are a personal crap shoot/gamble.

+1 -- With all the info out there, how do we know what's objective, and what's not? EVERYONE has an angle...

I did not know before reading this that there was egg in the shot though. That's neat.

Technically, That's not true. They inject the 'shot' into the egg and grow it. Then harvest it for use.

Oh I follow, so they use the egg like a peetree (sp) dish? What's the advantage?

A pee-tree is what I find in my yard after I've done a few too many 12oz curls

why can't they just grow the vaccine on fire hydrants? no allergies to them!
:-]

there are several shots which Drs will ask you, before injecting, if you are allergic to chicken products.
A Vet told me that after a certain treatment via IV for horses, occasionally a horse will just drop dead.
it's produced with poultry stuff- not sure if that's the COD.

Flu shots sole purpose is to get people into a buying frenzy to support the corporations during the holiday season.
