Like any parent, I want to do the right thing. But what is that? I've been innoculated for flu before and I have never been so sick.

In 1976, up to 50 people died because of reactions to innoculations for the swine flue "epidemic".

My grandfather died in the pandemic of 1918. Is this a replay?

If we get injected and then the flu mutates again, will that invalidate the original innoculation?

Is it better to forgo an injection completely?

I will be especially interested in hearing from medical professionals on this topic.

Here is some good advice.

It seems new to us. Well, in actuality it's got the same risk factors as every other innoculation, and it's been well tested. Most of the stuff against it turns out to be unfounded or by an agendicized, quack source.

I thought alot about it, and someone pointed out "risk vs Benefit". That's what I'm going to consider: Risk vs Benefit. Right now, it's better to get the shot than to leave yourself open for the flu.
