I'm with you HJ and don't really trust the gov't or drug companies, I have an amigo that gets a flu shot every year and sometimes feels really bad after. He calls me paranoid and I call him ignorant :lol: we are probably both right but like I ask him- why does a healthy 35 yr. old guy that doesn't travel much or come in contact with lots of people need a flu shot every year? :?

Many people are anti-vaccination which is their personal choice. But to make disingenuous statements about vaccination programs is a disservice. Perhaps you might want to follow this link for some accurate numbers.

Everyone is entitled to do whatever they want. But I always crack up when people are so passionate about not getting the vaccination. Whether its because of the government or any number of conspiracy theories, it's like there's no chance at all that the vaccination might work...

I was in Peru and a K*D was sick. My aunt wanted to give the K*D "Una de gato" to get the K*D better. Its the nail of the cat. Some kind of witch doctor white powder. She also said don't take tylenol because its the government trying to hold us down by giving us cancer with tylenol.

Personally, I'll take the tylenol.

But everyone is entitled to do what they want and hey, una de gato might actually work.

Just my opinion.
