How do you know what an "affectation" is?  If you don't - why are you using it (in an entirely unused inflection).  If you looked it up why didn't look up "strand" or "born" or the other words that you use incorrectly?

Because it is just a BARRIER of just understanding the word definitions. Now that I understand what you mean by 'affectioning' does not change my main points that I was trying to say before I didn't know what you mean by that...nor 'strain'.

The facts still remain that the flu shot only helps to prevent the predominant flu strain and that is not a 100% sure guarantee that it will help you 100% sure you will not get the flu if you get a flu shot because the flu virus may mutate way faster than the strain "CURE" for that shot 'cause the virus will always MUTATE!

Regardless the definitions of words, 100% sure know, and all flu shot makers, that it is WAYYY better to not get sick in the fist place than to get vaccinated from all viruses in the world! Is there even medicine to protect from all viruses in the world!? You want to find that GOD shot where just by taking one, you will be immune from all viruses in the world?

but you use words like "affectation"? or you think it's a good idea to use words like "affectation"?

Well that is the word you choose to try to DEFINE my intentions. I just learned that word by “debating” with you only. Still, does not change the way I think because the past has greater knowledge than just mere words.

And you still can't accept the fact that there is a lot of miscommunication in this world, the English language is not perfect! No language is. That's why we need to look from different angels to understand the ULTIMATE GOAL, and not just get stuck in other things.

Let me weigh your BS on a scale!
 
stitches are better than avoidance of the cut?

I have no doubt it's coming from you it just looks like an affectation

Please allow your ego of trying to teach me the English language to go away because it does not matter.

As a matter of fact, affectation only lives in your world of trying to define how viruses work since you used it to define how viruses work. When you told me AFFECTATION, is when I understood that word ONLY! I'm sure a lawyer or a judge has never used that word in their everyday life!

Oops! I'm teaching you about simple stuff and oops! Why have you deviated so far from the main point about vaccinations to being an expert regarding VOCABULARY?

Stay on point please. Lol

a) You think yourself qualified to diagnose ADHD and b) blame 23 changes of topic on me.

Yes I'm qualified to diagnose ADHD because I “suffer” from it too. And I understand that it is not due to GENETIC but more from LEARNED BEHAVIOR. And 100000% sure that there is no pill to cure it since if there was, it should have been LOOOONG gone like chicken pox!

It is pretty simple! You don't need to think that hard to figure it out in fact COMMERCIALS also cause  OCD = obsessive compulsive disorder!

I kind of find it weird that these experts CANNOT see this obvious things!

In fact! I don't know why shaking hands has not being made illegal. Where  I work, I'm DISGUSTED how many people use the bathroom and DONNOT wash their hands.

You need to BREAK FREE FROM IGNORANCE! You will live longer and avoid many illnesses NO PILLS!

Well good that saves us days of trying to get you pick a better word.

Words don't just come to existence by themselves! Words are like playing domino! We just need to pick the right ones to win the game! That is all. Language is just communicating. They don't change reality.

Take for example “the milky way” (our galaxy) how the fuck is it milky in any way? Lol or even a “WAY”? What? Your unconcious mind just learns to know what it means with out even using the right word to define it!!!

Which makes no sense not because it's hard but because you would expect what you call a dose/response relationship.  That is you would expect some level of tolerance.  As someone who receives such a low dose of commercials that I didn't even know that the superbowl was this weekend until someone asked me.  If I had ADD because of commercials then I would certainly be cured by now.

Yeah, well you see PILLS don't work that WAY...lol. ADD starts as  as KID watching sponge bob square pants! Lol

Your ADD will never go away that simple nor by taking pills IF IT CANNOT BE CURED FROM THE ROOTS!

This means that your will have ADD all of your life till you go to heaven! It is way better to live with and accept where it comes from than to live your life takings pills! Since tell me of a MAGIC PILL that cures it?

The same thing is with OCD = obsessive compulsive disorder! That is also a learned behavior and i'm not even a expert regarding this!

Obsession only comes when people don't understand KNOWLEDGE! REPETITIVE WRONG repetitions! Being obsesive is just trying to find something where it's just FALSE HOPES of NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND THE CURE! The one becomes desperate! OBSESSIVE!

Why am I even explaining this to you! You are so smart you should know this already!

Actually what you first need to do is cure a number of people.

Well I wish but I don't have the time nor the years. I'm just trying to ENLIGHTEN those that want to be enlighten! That is all. To be honest, at this point, I believe that WE ALL HAVE ADD. Just like everything else, there are VARIABLES (genetic and behavioral) where some are more aching to suffer more than others, but that is just in the mind more than anything!

From looking at different angles, I see many UPON many studies that other people do always points to BEHAVIRAL “disease”.

I have even seen where schizophrenic people are more crazy in one continent than in another! This relates to how socialism works. = the way of thinking = what influenced you in thinking that way in the first place? Not hard to see just hard to teach!

In case nobody told you this.  If people don't believe you it isn't necessarily because they are stubborn.  It's often because you think your opinion is better than theirs and you expect them to believe you MAINLY BECAUSE YOU SAID IT!

NO! we only learn in this world = We only teach what we learn! IGNORANCA and GREED makes you believe that we can create wolds. There is A LOT of things that your mind is VIRGIN to that you don't even know!

The same as drug dealers are trying to sell drugs and kill people because of GREEN, the same thing happens in medicine and even in SCIENCE!

We have a responsibility to stop these innocent killings!

A perfect example is the nazis. While hitler was crazy, he made many inventions! But many lives payed due to HIS CORRUPTION! But eventually MORALITY WON THAT BATTLE! And I know 100% THAT CORRUPTION CANNOT BE CURED WITH A PILL! It is inevitable!

You just not that informed about the world....tell me that there is no billionaire right now trying to do some crazy stuff to the world? Blah blah blah...even if you knew, what will do you? Nothing!

Last post you said you were only speaking to help others.   Which one are you lying about?

I'm pretty sure someone is being enlighten by what I type and I'm pretty sure i'm just responding to you based mostly on entertainment more than anything!

I'm using you as a way to spread my knowledge

Someone who is 100% sure is someone who can never be convinced that they are wrong.  However that is only possible through ego and arrogance.  Funny how you think other people have problems with that but not yourself

I said “I 100% sure know that KNOWLEDGE is the CURE!” and this is your explanation!

Look how simple it is!

Cave man: god gave us fire!

Modern man: j p morgan gave us light!

That is j p morgan knowledge! Hold on, do you even make money by taking a pill? I would like to take a pill that gives me the KNOWLEDGE to make millions.

Too many logical fallacies to list in that clause.

Have you asked the EARTHS' opinion?

I'm focusing on whatever you post - trying to address your issues.  That's what a polite person would do.  Perhaps you should change what you post?

LOL you keep on dissecting everything I say and take it out of context! = instead of QUOTING my whole paragraphs, you just chop them up in too little pieces and QUOTE me = taking things out of context = ADD/OCD = you need pills! Lol

It has been obvious that you are just NIT PICKING my answers for a while now!

I understand that you believing that i'm 26 times OFF TOPIC of what you speak off...because you are not looking at things from different ANGELS!

While you see me as “being off topic” I'm 100% in topic but looking at things from 26 different angels = mental science baby and a bigger brain! Lol

That is how wireless electronics work too! Or even satellites! As a matter of fact, even by looking at things from 3 different angles is what gives the phone towers your location! TRIANGULATIOON! = looking at things from different angles!

Hold on, even by the mere of Angles, tells you what is an angel or a circle! What!? Lol

Nope.  I think I'm correct because of the research I have read.  My buddies are laughing because you are funny.

So from where does this “research” comes from? Maybe from “evolution”? = mistakes gives knowledge = knowledge is the cure!

Or did you take a pill?

So why don't I get to pick and you have to beat me?

Ok what's your pick? lol

So Joel still thinks that Moonshiners is a real show.  My friends at work all had a good laugh on that one.

He does not like the WIKI ref....so..OK..he should google the show and see all 10,925 entries that say the show is fake.

Joel, you said I should go to where the show is filmed...but...I already told you that I live in KY.  Everyone here is familiar with that show and they know when it is being filmed.

Did you know that John Carpenter the director (Halloween, The Thing, etc.) lives here in my town?  So does the Gong Show creator song writer (Palisades Park) and author Chuck Barris.  If you watch the original movie Halloween, he references street names from here in Bowling Green, KY.  The guy that story is based upon is buried here in town also.

Senator Rand Paul also lives here in town as well.  I used to guard his neighborhood, but 3 years ago I got assigned to another post.

John Carpenter and Adriane Barbeau were actually at my wedding rehearsal dinner. Well, they were seated at a nearby table at the same restaurant.  That should have been a warning to me not to get married, haha.

PS  All Corvettes in the world since 1981 are built here also.
PPS  Here is a photo to me from Woz, the inventor of the Apple Computer. Here he is pictured with the Apple II.

Now, back on topic....

I heard a radio public service announcement today that said...(paraphrasing) Even though this year's flu shot will not likely prevent you from getting the flu...we strongly urge everyone to get the shot anyway.  There MAY be some benefit in lessening the symptoms of the other strains of flu virus."

OK, so, now this I do not agree with.  I know how hard it is to pick a specific strain of flu and predict that it will be the main one of the season and then create a vaccine for this.  But, when you miss it...which happens often, why would you spend taxpayer dollars playing radio ads suggesting the above?  There MAY be some benefit?

We all can agree that there is always some risk taking a flu shot. (.000001%-whatever)  So why should we take one when they admit that they missed it this year (totally understandable) and they come up with the idea that it "MAY" help lesson flu symptoms? 

I have to draw the line here.  I am not saying that it is more risky to get a shot that "MAY" help than getting the flu, but I have to say that this approach seems a bit disingenuous.  I call them like I see them.  Is anyone else hearing these radio ads?

Bill

As you must be well aware by now, in the Land of Looney Tunes (U.S. Medical Establishment) anything is possible.

Seems like you want to squirm some more.  Awesome! This makes my day.  I really appreciate it.

So you believe it's possible that someone with a real medical problem (for which there is no existing diagnosis) can come into a doctors office and get a diagnosis of ADHD.

The obvious question then is do you believe that this represents a significant number of people who walk into a doctors office and get an ADHD diagnosis.

Again, simple yes or now will do but if you really want to make me happy you'll waffle some more.

Well....

a) The added cost to taxpayers to administer the vaccine for the few people who are sitting on the fence and would be swayed with a radio commercial is negligible.
b) It's still considered somewhere between 10% and 23% effective which is still many orders of magnitude greater than the risk
c) Most people take more action for less effect.  Which means it's as least, if not more rational as the actions of the majority of people.

OK.  Item B explains their use of the phrase "not likely to help prevent".
       Item C does not concern me as I don't really care what most people do.
       Item A tells me that they are spending our money to promote a product made by a private company.  Taxpayers do not spend money to promote my company...right?  I have a problem with this.

Now, if I were seriously ill and clinging to life, and any kind of flu might kill me, I would surely take the shot, just to be safe, and I would not need any taxpayer to spend a dime to convince me to do so.

This is not meant to be any type of indictment on vaccines in general, which in my opinion do much more good than harm, but specifically this year's
"batch" and the use of our money to promote a private company's product.

Bill

Item B explains their use of the phrase "not likely to help prevent".

That still results in lives saved and sick-days unspent.

Item C does not concern me as I don't really care what most people do.

Your question was "why would you spend...". I assume you meant "Why would a rational person spend".  When an action is more rational than what people would otherwise use their time/money for the end result over a large enough population will be positive.  This is, at least in broad strokes a rational goal.

Item A tells me that they are spending

Very little, for a product which does protect people.

to promote a product made by a private company

Probably not.  They are spending money to help consume a perishable product they already purchased which will have zero effect if it's never administered.  So the question is simply one of the cost to achieve an advantage.  Administration of the vaccine and the cost of the PSA are probably very low.  While the advantage of the vaccine isn't high it's not implausible to think that this confers some advantage or is at least break even.  Making it the rational thing for the government to do.

This actually makes more sense.  They have already spent our tax dollars and, they did not want them to go to waste so, a little radio marketing helps them get folks to use them, even though it may, or may not help them.

I'll just stress that I have no inside knowledge of the US or other government purchasing but as the US administered 140 million vaccine doses in 2014 it's doubtful that it was all on a cash-and-carry basis.  As the Canadian government is a single-payer system virtually all of their insured expenses are done with some negotiation up front. i.e. We will buy X artificial hips @ $Y and be able to purchase more at $Z. It's also well publicized that the US and Canada had significant surplus H1N1 vaccine.  Some of which was donated and some was destroyed.  Other medications have known government stockpiles i.e. Tamiflu

So why is “preventing” the flu virus is via a flu show and PREVETING for aids is by KNOWLEDGE? Care to tell me why?

Because the HIV virus is born with gills and fins and the flue virus is born with wings and legs. 300% TRUTH.
