  From the CDC website:

  Misconceptions about Flu Vaccines

  Can a flu shot give you the flu?

  No, a flu shot cannot cause flu illness. Flu vaccines that are administered with a needle are currently made in two ways: the vaccine is made either with a) flu vaccine viruses that have been 'inactivated' and are therefore not infectious, or b) with no flu vaccine viruses at all (which is the case for recombinant influenza vaccine). The most common side effects from the influenza shot are soreness, redness, tenderness or swelling where the shot was given. Low-grade fever, headache and muscle aches also may occur.

  In randomized, blinded studies, where some people get inactivated flu shots and others get salt-water shots, the only differences in symptoms was increased soreness in the arm and redness at the injection site among people who got the flu shot. There were no differences in terms of body aches, fever, cough, runny nose or sore throat.

  • Carolyn Bridges et al. (2000). Effectiveness and cost-benefit of influenza vaccination of healthy working adults: A randomized controlled trial.
  • Kristin Nichol et al. (1995). The effectiveness of vaccination against influenza in healthy working adults. New England Journal of Medicine. 333(14): 889-893.

  Can the nasal spray flu vaccine give you the flu?

  The nasal spray vaccine cannot give you the flu. The viruses contained in the nasal spray flu vaccine are attenuated (i.e., weakened), which means they cannot cause flu illness. These weakened viruses are also cold-adapted, meaning they are designed to only cause mild infection at the cooler temperatures found within the nose. These viruses cannot infect the lungs or other areas of the body where warmer temperatures exist. The nasal spray is well tolerated and the most commonly reported side effects are mild and include runny nose, nasal congestion and cough.

  Rip,

  Recovery? Who said anything about Recovery? And this isn't my first admission at being a Wise Ass, Egocentric, Impatient, Narcissist - Asshole if you prefer. Go big or go home mama always said. Or was it that if it's worth doing it's worthing doing properly. I can't remember.

  Follow along; otherwise I will start questioning whether you really are a conspiracy theorist.

  Rip,

  I'm glad you aren't a conspiracy theorist. That is most excellent.

  Rip,

  Geesh dude. Compound Complex has been on this site for 9 years. He has started 713 OPs and made 10,699 posts (likely many more as some were probably lost during upgrades).

  A search of this site reveals that vaccines and anti-vaxxers are one of the most hotly and frequently debated topics. And you are suggesting that dear, sweet, lovable CC didn't have ANY ulterior motives other than to start a friendly discussion??? I avoided being an ass-hole on this topic when dear, sweet, lovable CC initially posted it.

  You have got to be a conspiracy theorist; no one else could be so delusional. Now stop wasting our time.

  Rip,

  Complex probably is a very nice guy. But this OP was nothing but an open door to troll for anti-vaxxers and spread the anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist infection, which is why it was bumped. I avoided the initial OP; I only entered this discussion when it was bumped. Save your rhetoric.

  And if people like you and the rest of the brain dead theorists and haters amongst us (those are really the only 2 groups I flame) think of me as an ass-hole, I will wear the moniker proudly.

  Thank you. DJS, aka Ass-hole

  The premise of this OP is insulting. Anecdotal 'experiences' from the brain dead end of timers, hysterical reactionaries and the conspiracy theorists should be kept to themselves - not spread like an infection to the masses.

  One good thing about these groups avoiding vaccines - they are more likely to die early deaths due to the viruses they are more likely to get. And that will cull the DNA herd, mitigating the defective DNA in our gene pool. Gotta love evolution. The 'fittest' are those smart enough to follow empirical evidence and not the hysterical housewives, cab drivers and quack scientists among us but, like Connie on the recent SNL skit, they are close to their computer.

  Just keep your anti-vaccine hysteria to yourselves, so that you won't infect those not carrying the defective genes. And do something productive with your lives, such as completing that fallout shelter that Ms. Daisy recommends.

  Bumping this very, very bad OP was an obvious attempt by the hysterics and the theorists to influence others.

  "Most women would prefer to be stay at home housewives. Women's lib did alot of damage to women!"

  the above is a quote from a jw female relative.

  this was in response to a discussion about the suffragette movement ( and the movie about it that's currently in cinemas).

  she seemed to think that it would be so much better if women were just daughters/ wives/ mothers and didn't go out to work and have career's?

  From an Oct. 2015 news article:
  A new Gallup Poll shows that more than half of women in the U.S. (56%), with children under the age of 18, would prefer to stay home over going to work, and 39% of women without children under the age of 18 said they wanted the role of homemaker.

  So let me get this straight. I'm supposed to 'consider' something that a housewife living in the Pacific NW, Daisy Luther, says about something she doesn't know anything about. Riiiigggghhhhttt. Ms. Luther's only claim to fame, other than being the goddess mouthpiece of the end of time hysterics and Armageddon/Economic Crisis/Loss of Utilities/Nuclear Winter/WTSHTF End Time preppers ready to move to Idaho or the fallout shelter they built with her guidance whenever the cataclysm begins. Oh yes, and this from her own publicist:

  "Daisy uses her background in alternative journalism to provide a unique perspective on health and preparedness, and offers a path of rational anarchy against a system that will leave us broke, unhealthy, and enslaved if we comply."

  I'm supposed to ignore the CDC and all of the other independent research performed on the flu vaccine and all of the other vaccines and listen to Ms. Daisy, the organic farming housewife in the US NW with NO formal education about these topics and NO real experience.

  These studies have been conducted by numerous countries - not just the US. The studies are exhaustive, conducted over several decades and include millions of people given vaccines in multiple countries. But they are all wrong and in on the conspiracy while Ms. Daisy is right.

  Yes, let's consider Driving Ms. Daisy. To her survivalist shelter where the other nut jobs are waiting on her with open arms.

  Captain Schmideo2,

  You are my hero. Your statement can be applied to nearly every OP:
