Facts
The flu vaccine causes more deaths per year than chicken pox.
The direct injection of RSV immunoglobulin, commonly known as the "RSV vaccine" would prevent 16x more deaths than the flu vaccine does, but is too expensive.
There is a vaccine for the plague, and that is why it is no longer an epidemic.
Ebola is caused by vaccines.
There is a vaccine for autism, but it causes mumps.


Opinions
Vaccines do not contain thimerosal, a known toxin.
If you snuck up on your neighbor's kid and cut open his skull, you would be arrested.  But when brain surgeons do it, and charge hundreds of thousands of dollars, it considered "medicine."
99% of vaccines do not cause autism (HT JJ1000).
Every pedi has seen healthy kids become sick physically & mentally hours after a vax (HT Baryochai)
Vaccines cause cancer, infertility, astma, adhd etc (HT Baryochai)

It's impossible to get the flu from getting the shot.
You can get a fever and such, but not the flu.

If you take FluMist (live virus) and then a day or two later get the flu how do you know it did not cause it?

Why in the world not? vaccines have been around since the 1950's? But in general this is a bogus claim that is often used by conspiracy theorists. We know what is in the vaccines and how they affect the body and how soon they are expelled form the body. That alone gives scientists the tools to asses whether any future effects could be had. (They can't)

The flu vaccine as an annual recommendation by the CDC for all ages is fairly new, as far as I know. See http://www.nvic.org/NVIC-Vaccine-News/October-2012/Influenza-Deaths--The-Hype-vs--The-Evidence.aspx for a good timeline as well as some other useful info. The flumist is even newer!
As far as vaccines being around since 50's, I'm sure they've been around a lot longer than that, but for my age group it's more relevant to compare the last 30 years... http://www.drmomma.org/2011/01/cdc-mandatory-vaccine-schedule-1983-vs.html
The long term effects of the increase in vaccinations (and the annual flu shot) won't be known for a long time.
Are you sure that you know what is in the vaccines and what they may do to a person? (I'm not talking about MD's vs quack conspiracy theorists, I was wondering if you ever looked into what is in vaccines, or was it a generic we?)
Do they have studies on how soon they are expelled from the body?

  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

lol, if he'd gotten cancer 2 days later they'd also use it as proof. I hope you realize how laughable that report is.

Some hospitals require employees to get shots and even provide it for them. A hospital is there to TRY and make money, so I do not see the point in spending money on vaccines if they do not truly find them effective. I think the cost provides them with the benefit that they know it will keep their patients from acquiring it from the staff (which they will have to pay out of pocket because it is hospital acquired).

actually hospitals get funding for giving them(and the staff are usually required to get them on their own accord),
no one said that they don't work, only that they have adverse retractions, and even that the risks out-way the benefits,
and most of all they don't have an opinion, rather they go by the book!

How is it possible to do research when people like you discredit all reputable sources as not being truthful and champion every conspiracy nut/ activist out there?
