  Flu shots are more dangerous than ever if you ask me. I know of two close friends, one of who’s youngest son took a flu shot then became very sick immediately here in Seattle and aquired Guillain-Barre Syndrome. He was a very healthy young kid before the shot. It took him six to eight months to gain his strength back and a lot of love from his parents. The medical cost’s to get him healthy again was unbelievable(7 figures, dad’s insurance covered most of it). He also had muscular myopathy problems and couldn’t hold his own body weight up for weeks and had constant aches. His doctors said it was very likely, but not 100% that the flu shot caused it but there way too many cases across the U.S. that have the same similaritie’s. He is a very lucky kid for now, but may need permanent infusions when he gets older. Anyways, I’m not trying to scare anyone here, but I don’t take flu shots period, but if it works for you more power to you.
