mpn_1990 asked:


In 2003, I got a seasonal flu shot and soon after, I was incapacitated with a very violent case of the flu for two weeks.

Now, I’m being advised to receive an H1N1 vaccine because I am in a high risk group for flu death because of my age. But I’m wondering if the vaccine will end up getting me that sick itself!

Is it scientifically possible to contract influenza from an injected flu vaccine? Why did I get sick seven years prior after getting the shot?

    In the shot the virus is completely inacive so no you cant get the flu from the flu shot. the nasal mist on the other hand has severely weakened but not completely inactive virus in it. the mist doesnt get normal people sick of any age the only people at risk are those with extremely weakened immune systems such as those with advanced HIV/AIDS. But if you are worried about it I would go for the shot instead of the mist.

    Consider this…If you get the flu, you only get the flu.
    If you get the shot you get much more in that witches brew, things like formaldahyde, and mercury are in vaccines, along with many other nasties.

    Did you hear about the cheerleader that got mercury poisoning from getting the regular flu shot? She has had to be detoxed big time to help her body eliminate the mercury poisoning she got from the shot.
    Before letting someone vaccinate you look into the vaccines ingredients, find out what all they are injecting into you.

    Personally I’ll risk MAYBE getting the flu.

    No…..its not possible. The flu shot is a dead flu virus that is injected so that your body has an idea how to recognize it of it ever sees it for real If you are sick, years after getting it then it is unrelated. If you get sick right after the flu shot it is your immune system responding to your vaccine just like it would to the flu which is like it feels that way sometimes. This is how your body builds up immunity though, its a good thing! I had both my seasonal and H1N1 flu shot and I’m glad I did….I know im protected.

    No.

    There are no live viral particles in the shot. Not to mention influenza can only infect the lungs.
