Flu Shots - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Esen · 10-14-2003, 03:04 PM

Ok I did a search for Flu shots and no matches came up so ill start this topic now.

Is anyone afraid of getting flu shots for Paranoia reasons.

Like I ve heard people say they would never get flu shots because that is how the government puts things into our body like Nanu (is that the right name) technology.
Or like tracking devices.

Or I have heard people say they use the shots to get Dna samples from anyone.

I'm sure there has to be more conspiracy theories on this subject.
Do you have any?

wario · 10-14-2003, 05:44 PM

Who cares if the government is tracking you? And if you're doing something that will make the government pay attention to you then I want them to track you. Besides, having a built in tracer would really help if you were kidnapped or lost in the woods.

I couldn't tell ya. I'm rarely EVER sick. In fact I'm only sick once a year. Whatever it is that I catch it comes off as a mild cough. Thus I cannot tell you when the last time was that I received a flu shot. Although I'd be kind of interested if anyone on here did think things were put into us. I"m curious if nanites could actually stay IN us. Our bodies have a tendency to reject things, and nanites aren't exactly human. Our bodies can reject body part/organs as even blood if we're not careful. Could they put enough nanites in us to be effective without out body destroying them?

I'm not worried about the gov't stuff. I don't get the flu shot cause I don't see the point in voluntarily subjecting myself to the flu. Its too easy to get sick from the shot.

fuzzix · 10-15-2003, 04:59 AM

I've never had a flu shot, mainly because I'm a little wary of the system and how it could screw up, not because I think the government will track me :P

jujueye · 10-15-2003, 08:08 AM

First off, its near impossible to get the flu from the flu shot. The viri are near dead, and the human body easily can overcome the bugs. That's the whole idea: to get your body to respond and build up immunity before a full strength version comes along. How doe they know whats coming every year? Good question. Actually, its rather involved, but requires a study of the dominant influenza from countries like China and even Australia. The southern heishphere is a major place of study because their seasons are oppsite ours. As they leave "winter" we are heading in to it....so the flu bugs happen here afterwards.

As for the govt: most implantations are too large for a size 00 needle (i think its 00). Anything worth using for tracking would need an incision and a stitch or two. As for DNA, no, I've watched them throw those needles in the biohazard box with hundred of others.

Seriously: protect yourself and others and just get the flu shot. Only one bout of the flu would convince you that you should.

IMO, jujueye is right on the money with everything here, except for getting a flu shot to protect yourself. I may be the exception to the rule, but in the past 10 years, each year I have gotten a flu shot I have come down with a nasty case of the flu that following winter. The years I didn't get the shot I had no problem with the flu. My last shot was 5 years ago and *ding *ding *ding, I got the flu that winter. The only reason I took the shot that year was because it had been several years since I'd had one and I seriously doubted getting the shot would make me sick. Man, was I wrong. I am sure getting a flu shot is a great idea for most people, but you gotta go with what happens after you get the shot. I like to tell my co-workers I don't get the shot because I want to be a 'carrier'.

MSD · 10-15-2003, 04:10 PM

Four years of Flu shots and I haven't been sick. I started getting them after I got the Flu with a 105° fever and started hallucinating.

If they're doing DNA sampling, it's with blood donations. They have to do tests anyway, and it's not hard to throw in a DNA profile and match it to a soc. sec. # if they have some Gov't funding.

Lebell · 10-16-2003, 12:48 AM

I just got mine this afternoon.

The seventeen bucks will be worth it if there isn't a repeat of the week I spent knocked on my ass last winter.

So no, I'm not worried.

mr sticky · 10-16-2003, 04:59 AM

I think the flu shot is warrented if you are older, or if you have chronic health problems. I personally don't get the flu shot due to it's slight statistical link to Guillain-Barre' syndrome. I figure I'm young and healthy, I can take my chances with the flu. I mean, our pediatricians don't recommend them for our kids do they?

yournamehere · 10-16-2003, 10:13 AM

We're getting ours tonight.
I hate being down with the flu.
If I'm going to be away from work for a week, I want sand and surf to be the reason.
I didn't used to get flu shots, but most of the people I work with now have school-aged kids, so exposure to the flu is a given.

Oh wait - this is Tilted Paranoia !!
You younguns have it too easy - why, in my day, the gubmint sutured cathode-ray tubes inside us. Your nano-technology identifiers are a piece of cake. Quitcher belly-achin.'

Did I mention it was uphill both ways?

supafly · 10-17-2003, 09:01 AM

Nah, gouvernments are rotten, but not that rotten.
But if they wanted to put something in your body flu shots are an ideal method.

Ok, I don't get my flu shots because of the fact that I really don't know what they're putting into besides what they tell me, but the quote that I put here is ludicrous. Whoever thought that up is pretty stupid. How could they possibly get an accurate DNA response if they just throw the needle into a big haz waste bin with all the other ones?

*Nikki* · 10-21-2003, 08:15 PM

The goverment can track me all they want.

They would be so bored with my doings they would probably beg to be taken off the case.

visious · 10-26-2003, 05:35 PM

because i'm too lazy to read every post to this point, i think it makes perfect since that the govenment wants to track my ass dwn, and because i dont mind, guess every one just wants uncle sam to pay attenttion to them, just like my childhood

, but i highly doubt that they put any thin else then some dead flu cells in the shots

numist · 10-26-2003, 05:38 PM

the only time I have a needle in my arm is when I'm giving blood, so it isnt that much of a problem for me. The few times I do have to get a shot, I just look away.

There is a really quesy feeling though every time a needle breaks the skin... *shudders* not enjoyable, but I do it anyways.

Jervis · 10-28-2003, 06:28 PM

Some people just don't get the flu altogether. I'm glad I'm one of those people. I wouldn't trust any kind of "recommended" shot like that for something so harmless. I have a feeling the vaccines and boosters themselves are not alone.

Ever wonder why all the villages that were vaccinated for smallpox developed the AIDS virus years later? Some things just aren't questioned enough in this country sometimes. Whatever happened to sticking it to the man?

I think that Mork from Ork was the one with Nanu technology.
