My god, I should be surprised by the misinformation and gobbledygook in this thread. But I'm not.
First, conflating the yearly flu shot with childhood vaccines is ridiculous. The efficacy of diptheria, polio, MMR, rotavirus, etc has been proven. Period. Any parent who does not have their children immunized by DTaP, MMR, and IPV should be charged with child endangerment. It's the height of stupidity and selfishness to ignore all the science and risk the health (and mortality) of your children. However, the flu shot is different. Unlike vaccines like MMR, DTaP, IPV, or Hep A/B, the flu shot is a different formulation each year and both its effectiveness and safety can vary. Even as someone who has had an extremely serious adverse reaction to a pandemic flu shot, I think the anti-vaxxers are the 21st century version of the flat earth society. The science is the science and it's pretty clear: immunization works. Last edited by JohnnyCanuck; 10-20-2018 at 10:04 PM.. |

The shot with adjuvant is for seniors only any other flu shot besides that doesnt have it. Its purpose is to stimulate immune response in elderly who dont generally generate much response on their own. Talk about misinformation.

I did lots of research into flu vaccines back then (as you can imagine) but made assumptions about adjuvant use since. Thanks for pointing it out and I've edited my original post to remove the misinformation. That said, I stand by the rest of my post about the criminal lunacy of anti-vaxxers and that a flu shot that has different formulations each year has a different risk profile than historically proven vaccines like IPV or MMR. |
