We've gone "overboard" on the flu shots (aside for maybe some asthmatics and 80 yr olds).  The best immunization for the flu last year was actually having had a flu in the preceding 5-10 years or so. The best antidote for the next 5-10 years is getting the flu this year.

The reason why young children last year tended to be sicker with the swine flu was "no previous exposure" to a similar virus.  The rest of us (despite all the hoopla) were fine.  If you (or your child) are otherwise healthy, catch the flu when it comes around - be sick for a couple days, and then be immune from this for the next decade or so.

Yeah, so the CDC was just making up numbers to scare us, and help their friends at Big Pharma sell more vaccines.... what's new? People, don't fall for this scam again. As former president W once said, "Fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice.... uh, duh, doh?

The best protection against the flu is optimal levels of vitamin D in your blood, something that 2/3's of Americans are deficient in because they've been scared into avoiding sun exposure.

The CDC doesn't want you to know that because no one makes a profit on vitamin D.

Headline: Australia bans flu vaccines for children after vomiting, fevers and seizures!

This is the vaccine that they're going to use in the USA this winter.
