Flu Shot causes 2xlikelihood of contracting swine flu

Preliminary Study says if you got the flu shot last year you're 2X more likely to get the swine flu this year :lol:

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Public health agencies have already talked about the possibility of scrapping this year's seasonal flu shot, and now a new unpublished B.C. medical study is suggesting those who got the flu shot last year are twice as likely to catch H1N1 flu this year.

It's only preliminary data so far, and lead author Dr. Danuta Skowronski with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control admits it's still too early to determine if the findings are valid. "Good scientists know that methods can influence results, so until these results have gone through the proper scientific review process, I think we can say nothing definitive."

Experts say researchers in the U.S., Britain and Australia have looked for that particular effect and have yet to find it. It is up to provinces and territories to decide on when to start flu shots, and this new unpublished study could add to the debate.

So pharmaceutical companies are infecting ppl!

They say that so people rush to get the swine flu vaccine when its ready.

one way or the other

I haven't bothered with the flu shots for years. The last time there was a swine flu outbreak, the vaccine killed more people than the swine flu itself

i get my flu shot every year... :(

I'm so sick of this swine flu bullshit. LIKE THE PUN?!

another reason why I don't believe in the flu shot. I would never get one I think in the long run it will do mroe harm then good personally.

i really question why they would even report such garbage. all it does is rile people up.

I wonder why no one realized that the people who had the flu shots taken were probably at higher risk of getting the flu anyways, which would be the reason why they had the flu shot the year before.

How can you not believe in a flu shot? Do you not believe in antibiotics? What about eating foods?

Don't be a slave to some media reports. Try to read things and make an informed decision.

p.s most people on this site aren't "indicated" to get flu shots every year anyways.

I never had a flu shot before, I just tend to wash my hands and I'm fine

Shit..I get the flu shot every year and recently have been sick as a dog!!! I think I have either the freakin flu or allergies. Weird time to get it though...sigh!!

Ya, let's all believe some random UNPUBLISHED, UNACREDITED article. good job folks.

I saw the title, and i LOL'ed.
