Thank you! To me it's not all black and white. I want to choose...and I choose not to get the flu vaccine...ever.

They know they will be sued. The manufacturers have been removed from the responsibility and set up a great little system to pay for it.

Rare? Nope. Not even close.
Then could you please cite the evidence and statistics that show vaccine side effects are not rare?

The Supreme Court disagrees with you. The Tribunal was set up because the cases are so rare.

"...Federal law protects pharmaceutical companies from lawsuits by parents who claim that vaccines harmed their children, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday....

"The court ruled 6 to 2 that going before a special tribunal set up by Congress is the only way parents can be compensated for the negative side effects that in rare instances accompany vaccinations...."

Which people are they? I have never ad a flu shot in my life, never had the flu either.

So how exactly do they force you to get one? Do you know what a massive system that would entail and what it would cost?

I wouldn't worry about it unless some massive epidemic starts spreading.

Do you not get that there are people advocating for them to be mandatory? Heck, just read this thread...they exist!

Seems like those outbreaks were not enough to knock some sense into anti-vaxxers..

I have seen no one - in this thread or in the real world - advocating for mandatory flu shots.

I guess it doesn't happen then...and no one wants to ban guns or restrict the first ammendment either...okay, go back in your bubble.



So, you deny this exists?
