In reply to: My point - flu shots bad. Survival of the fittest? I dunno. But, let the body do it's work... Yikes! I think you have a fair misunderstanding of immunization. Let the body do its work? That's what immunizations do. "Hey, immune system! Look at this stuff. Get ready to beat the crap out of it next time you see it." Rob

Rob Right, I am just saying that the vaccine builds up a tolerance to the immunization --- I think we're talking about the same thing, no? Each year, the influenza vaccine contains three virus strains, representing the influenza viruses likely to circulate in the United States in the upcoming winter. J Either way - still scary that these virus strains become more and more vicious!

I oft get things confused as the medicinal/science world intrigues me but I concede...thanks for the info! I still don't want to get sick :)
