We Always Get the Flu Shot

Walked into the grocery store, and there they were. They were offering the Fluzone quadrivalent 2020-2021. As an aside, they did warn that it was not a wise choice if I had certain conditions. It was quite a list. Here is how they broke it down:

Before taking this medicine:

You may not be able to receive this vaccine if you are allergic to eggs, or if you have:

• a history of severe allergic reaction to a flu vaccine; or

• a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome (within 6 weeks after receiving a flu vaccine).

Tell your doctor if you have ever had:

• bleeding problems;

• a neurologic disorder or disease affecting the brain (or if this was a reaction to a previous vaccine);

• seizures;

• a weak immune system caused by disease, using certain medicines or receiving cancer treatments; or

• an allergy to latex

• an allergy to eggs

You can still receive a vaccine if you have a minor cold. If you have a severe illness with a fever or any type of infection, wait until you get better before receiving this vaccine.

This savvy parent, Shanna Rathbone, shared a really good lineup of 7 reasons why their family ALWAYS gets the flu shot:

It is illuminating, and we can learn a lot!

Numerous Benefits of the Flu Shot

1.) I want to increase our risk of upper respiratory infection by 4.4x  (2nd source)

2.) I want my children to have a 3x risk of hospitalization for flu after getting it cause that means it’s strengthening their immune systems, right? Summary: The inactivated flu vaccine does not appear to be effective in preventing influenza-related hospitalizations in children, especially ones with asthma.

3.) I want to play a guessing game – will this year’s choice of strain be well matched to the strain that turns out to be heaviest in circulation, making that vaccine effective?

4.) I want to contribute to the mutation of flu viruses, making them stronger and more virulent. (CDC admits they are only approximately 37% effective due to rapid mutations)

5.) I want to stimulate the economy and contribute to the highly profitable $1.6 Billion business of flu shots.

6.) If I was preggers, I would have a 7.7x risk of miscarriage if I got the flu shot last year.

7.) I want us to potentially cash in on the billions of dollars of claims paid out by the vaccine court for flu shot damages.

Bonus #8.) I want to increase our risk of getting Covid-19 by a whopping 36%!! I mean we’re all going to get it eventually right? Why not speed the process up?!

And bonus #9.) I think I’m deficient in formaldehyde, MSG, dog kidney cells, egg protein, pig gelatin, polysorbate 80 and mercury (aka thimerosal), squalene ( the same ingredient in anthrax vax that causes autoimmune diseases) and some other virus DNA, depending on the brand!

Mama needs a boost!

Hi! I’m Jacqueline!

Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
Welcome to my own little place on the internet! Home is where I love to be. I feel there is no greater place to incubate souls. These days you’ll find me using my experiences here to write about herbal remedies and natural health research — a big passion of mine. But being a wife and mother is not easy. It is challenging and potentially lonely. I get that. I wanted to create a place to connect with and support other moms for creating a natural, healthy, and fulfilling home life.
