Amateur Hour Continues

And you suffer from it?

He takes penicillin for TDS because it is one of the few drugs that actually work. He thought it was worth a try.

Is that why his head is swole up?

LOL! Probably. Most drugs have side effects.

 

[Velo Vol]

Why thank you for your compassion velo. What a stunning heartfelt response.

Are you saying that you don't get a flu shot because of serum sickness? You could have just said it directly.

Why would i point out serum sickness to you?

Are declarative sentences too much work?

 

[Rickyvol77]

You just listed, why do you need the cdc?
Mine are
1. Pts who weigh 360 lbs while intentionally understaffed
2. Pts who weigh 420 lbs while intentionally understaffed ( makes productivity and the manager look good)
3. Drivers on 64
4. My institution being a$$€$ about flu vaccines for employees so they can reach their ACA rate of 90% for payment. Yet we don't hold any visitor who could be carrying whatever to the same standard.

Fyi: screeching complete, carry on

exactly, im not anti vaxxer (on stuff that matters i.e. measles, polio, etc) but people are such sheep when it comes to flu shots without ever realizing they are a money racket, pushed by the media and government every year, when in reality they are never more than 20% effective

 

[Rickyvol77]

Why would you want to steal a pathogen?

is this for real? surely you cant be this naive

 

[Rickyvol77]

Look up 1918 influenza.

you need to educate yourself on flu shots and why they are pushed...the 1918 influenza has nothing to do with government receiving money from pharm on that one

[Rickyvol77]

This is not accurate....there is a reason there are **************...2014-2015 is closer to accurate....they dont seperate Type A and Type B Flu so they take the "highest effectiveness rate" which is pointless because they only count reportable flu cases to the CDC which hospitals and the health department monitor differently, their Infection Prevention teams keep the true numbers... the numbers are nowhere close to accurate and misleading to suggest that one flu vaccine per season is effective to both types of major flu..
Go to UT Medical Center Research and talk to an actual research doctor about it..

and Nurse is correct, the only reasons that hospitals push for employees to have flu shots at a 90% rate is because they get a percentage of money from ACA, and CMS every year based on it...they know it doesnt effect ANYTHING in real life terms except maybe for a small percentage of elderly or infants

Well for those vulnerable populations, who are disproportionately at the hospital, even a 20% less chance of not getting sick is a good thing.

LOL can't think of this kind of golden stuff. Reality is definitely much more weird than imagination.

Pathetic.

they aren't disproportionately at the hospital, again you aren't understanding the point being made...which that flu vaccines are for money and profit, not actual health related benefits...and the media is "given" stories every flu season to hype up and cause alarm for no reason...

 

[Rickyvol77]

i think it's telling that the media used "church leader" to describe him instead of "college professor"...lol either way it's not "national news"

If you knew how hospitals were really cleaned , the flu shot would be the last thing you would worry about . It’s a hit or miss type deal with the flu shot , they make the serum based on a best guess theory .

How much money? For many (most?) people, a 40% less chance of staying home sick makes it worth it.

Glenn Jacobs and John J. Pershing are alumni of Truman State University.
Some media outlets do mention that he is a professor of communications. Only the New York Post seems to be pushing the “church leader” angle.

millions of dollars to both the federal government as well as the pharmaceutical companies who lobbied for it...they also give special "payments and gifts" to physicians

He got all peachy for the occasion

I hate to burst your bubble, but they all wear makeup so they won't look washed out under the bright lights. I shook hands with both Richard Nixon and Hubert Humphrey on different nights in 1968 after rallies, and they were both caked with makeup and lipstick.

For the last time I don’t watch CNN my God. And middle class is open for interpretation to this admin. The cows will come home with the mega rich tax cuts and guess who will be bailing us out...again. Not the folks with golden parachutes

You need to go overseas to some remote jungle and dig a well or build a bridge or something
