Truly dangerous and hyped up FluMist

Which opinion do you think is backed up be science?

Umm...I work in a hospital and we were told that if we received the FluMist, we
were not allowed to work for three weeks.

However, that does not make it as dangerousas the OP would like to scare
people into believing.

Personally, I think he's flipping out because the
nasal aerosol administration takes away his ability
to scare people about needles.

I don't like needles either, but with practice comes tolerance. I can
now be stuck 3 or 4 times a day, but I still don't like it.

Just thought that you might want to know.

According to him, viruses don't cause disease

They don't!

Viruses are disease agents. There is a difference you know!

Being exposed to a disease agent like viruses, doesn't automatically
mean that a person will comes down with a disease. That happens only
if the body's immune system can not handle viruses quick enough.

The same thing happens with cancer. Cancer forms in your body
throughout your entire life. You only come down with the disease
called cancer when you your immune system stops working properly.

Your lack of basic biological science understanding is absolutely
shocking!

his greatest complaints about immunization injections
is that they "bypass the body's natural defenses."

What I find interesting about the one shot pneumonia vaccine that
everyone is supposed to take at age 65 is that it is effective against
pneumonia caused by bacteria disease agents, but not against pneumonia
caused by viral disease agents.

So, can you geeks be more precise in the future ... please!!!!

Thanks to Donna Carrillo and Dr. Tenpenny for providing the links to the
FluMist Package insert and the FDA Q&A on FluMist so you can see for
yourself how truly dangerous this hyped up new "nasal vaccine" is.

I find Scudamore's obsession with FluMist fascinating.
According to him, viruses don't cause disease, and one
of his greatest complaints about immunization injections
is that they "bypass the body's natural defenses."

So here we have FluMist, which is an aerosol (droplet)
administration of a less-virulent form of the same
viruses which circulate naturally by -- drumroll --
aerosol droplets. If, as he often tells us, viruses
don't cause disease then FluMist is at worst a waste
of money. If FluMist is, as he tells us, dangerous
(esp. because it causes a mild case of the disease
which can be passed to others) then he's been wrong
all these years about viruses.

Choose.

Sounds homeopathic to me

Perhaps you had better read up on immunology, John. That's the way the
immune system works. It makes antibodies against very specific molecules
(like the proteins on the cell surface of bacteria). It works that way
because you don't want the immune system attacks to be too general. When
that happens, you get autoimmune diseases, like lupus, type I diabetes and
rheumatoid arthritis.

Likewise, you need to get the flu shot every year. The antigens (the
molecules that the body makes antibodies against) are different for
different types of influenza viruses. That is also why there are different
vaccines for different other disease causing organisms, like chicken pox,
measles, mumps, rubella, smallpox, tetanus, diptheria and pertussis.

So, can you geeks be more precise in the future ... please!!!!

Actually, the vaccines and the immune response to the vaccines are very
precise.
