Weird, I've seen it with my two eyes. Get flu shot, get flu.

You can keep gaslighting if you want.

So, you tested positive for the flu after the flu shot?

Why are people canceling plans ?
I don't get it either. What's the point of a vaccine that doesn't protect you. My son is sick and everyone that was vaccinated came over anyway. My sister in law is a children's physician at the hospital and didn't seem phased. My father is of the opinion that only Republicans are dying so he came over too. Patient zero got me, we'll see how it works out over the next few days but I'm not changing my life over it

We just got a text from a friend who was planning on having their son's family (grandson 11 years old and granddaughter 13 years old) over tomorrow night for a Christmas Eve sleep-over and they'd spend Christmas Day together. They just found out their grandson tested positive for Covid and now their plans are cancelled. I feel bad for them.
Who is getting tested for this junk? Turn off the TV JFC!

Lol at flu shot causing the flu.How do people still spout that myth?

OK Bozos, stop clowning around.
Vaccinated people can spread the virus to unvaccinated. My wife got a flu shot around October / November 2017. Early January 2018 I catch the flu and I worked from home at the time and went to the gym at 2 AM. The only way I caught it is from her. I went to a clinic and they tested and confirmed I had the flu.

And I would not trust anything coming from the CDC or so called "medical authorities". I go by what we have experienced personally. Flu vaccines made things worse - in our experience.

Thanks Allen. We both lost our taste and smell yesterday. Still gone today. Other than that, we're slowing recovering.
That sucks, must be the crazist thing. Glad to hear you are slowly recovering.

Allen, I think much of the "lost taste" in our case might be the fact that we're both having nasal congestion. If you think about it, if you have a bad stuffy nose, that affects your smell capability. If you smell capability is reduce, your taste will be affected.

Tested for thr flu? Nobody does that. That's why they believe the flu death numbers are so underreported, bc doctors rarely test it since the symptoms are obvious. Puking, fever, cough? Yeah, you got teh flu.

I have wondered about the "loss of smell and taste" as a signature symptom. I have assumed that is contagious psychosomasis but your point makes sense, too. It is well documented that people will "have" a symptom if they think that they have a symptom.

No two ways about it, I lost my sense of taste of smell.

It was from one hour to the next, gone. Nothing gradual at all.

I already had tested positive @4 days prior.

Realized I couldn’t taste my meal and was like wtf no way. Tried peanut butter, my favorite snack. Nothing. Vinegar. Nothing.

All I could tell was if something was salty or sour and a little bit sweet. But no flavor to any of it. Hard to explain

Bananas are ****ing horrible with no flavor. It’s like eating soft serve turds.

This is not the reduced smell/taste due to congestion, trust me.

So you assumed you had something. No actual diagnosis. And the flu cases and deaths listed are not even real numbers. They are made up. It is an algorithm based on reported data.

FlahDah man.
There is no live virus in the flu shot. Little germies floating around and/on surfaces invaded your respiratory system. Plus the fluvax is only 60% likely to be matched with the prevalent strain of the many flu viruses out each year.

loss of taste and smell has to do with congestion / mucus all in your airway / passages….

this isnt some magical symptom that just popped up…. This has been standard since colds and / flus….

if you get sick / congested enough, your smell and taste get ****ed…
