only a small handful of them are really necessary...the rest may benefit the elderly or the weak, but are marketed to everybody..Ofcourse it's a MONEY thing...I've never gotten a flu shot..I haven't had the flu in 6 years. Half the people I know who got the flu shot got sick because of the shot........This is a little off topic, but I think it relates: I was a veterinary technician for a couple of years. The vets encouraged pet owners to come in every single year, because dogs/cats absolutely HAD to have their distemper shot or they would be at a SERIOUS risk...yeah right. the vaccine companies were sending literature to the vet, saying that the vaccines were being retested and that they actually only had to be given only every 3 years, and if given more often, they would make the pet be at a risk for tumors...well, the vets still are telling people to come on in every year and get those shots, because it brings them profit, and if the animal gets a tumor, well, even better...more profit. If there weren't any sick people then doctors wouldn't make any money...one more thing, the more you go, doesn't it seem the more unhealthier you are?
