Thompson said he would not give a pregnant woman flu vaccine because he believes thimerosal increases the risk of tics. Anyone who wants to avoid thimerosal can just take flu vaccine without it.
Thimerosal is totally irrelevant with respect to current vaccines.
Every year it's the same people I know who come down with the flu These are the same people who get the vaccine year after year.
Please provide some documentation. And remember, the plural of anecdote is not data.

Most people seems to think so.
Probably not measles, it is extremely rare for someone to get an actual second case. But mumps, yes, it happens. And it happens even more often with chickenpox.

I know it's anecdotal but being a human being, experience counts for something. It also backs up the data that shows the flu vaccine efficacy is overblown.

It doesn't back up anything. 90% of the kids who died last year were unvaccinated.
There is still time to get a flu shot, and contrary to much popular opinion, the flu shot this year is not "worthless".
If you're not elderly, an infant or have a compromised immune system why would you get the shot? Stay healthy, get plenty of rest and you're not likely to get it even when others have it. If you do get it, you'll fight it off and your immune system will be the stronger and healthier for it. I've had one flu shot in my life, last year, as required for an EMT training and that was the only time I've gotten in the flu in 20 years.
