They are in the business of making money off of sick people. You do the math.

Damn man, how bout you educate yourself about the flu? Influenza is mostly transmitted through the air by coughs or sneezes by infected people, not by goingoutside without a coat on

[justballin11]

"qualified" people are at walgreens type places as well. its pretty common even for a supermarket. I wouldnt even blame it on thesupermarket but the flu shot itself

Another reason why I don't believe in flu shots....

Never had a flu shot, will never get one, haven't had the flu in 20 years.

If they weren't in the business of making money then we wouldn't have the incredible amount of amazing drugs at our disposal. If there wasno money in medicine, then there'd be no incentive to research, and there'd be fewer drugs that save lives. You think if the government all of a suddensaid "hey, develop this cancer drug, but you won't get any compensation," the drug companies would be on board with it? If you take the moneyaway, you take away the pursuit of the next great drug that could save peoples' lives. And the money keeps the competition alive, not just to put money ingreedy pockets.

That is true.. but going out in the cold without a coat on puts stress on the body, thus lowering the immune system, which makes it more likely that you willcatch something.

that's all well and good, but at some point you're going to have unscrupulous decisions made to push drugs that aren't very safe. worse yet, some clinical test results are heavily skewed or falsified to get approval. it's the very dark side to the good that has come from the pharmaindustry. sometimes the abuses are very blatant and cause a lot of suffering.

most people don't realize that the vast majority of drugs exist to treat conditions, but they don't make us healthy... only less sick.

poor girl's condition reminds me of parkinson's. i remember seeing clips of muhammad ali shadow boxing after having tremors for a long time and whenhe did, it's like nothing was wrong with him. i think there's something to with less motor-intensive movements or motions involving a greater deal ofmotor output that are able to override the tremors.

 

[his diabolical majesty]

Wow... Speechless

 

[andrew630]

damn that sucks

 

[crank lucas]

[tommykairaa]
