That's all we drink and have no soda or anything else in the house. Annie will make green tea in the winter and we both drink at least 1 gallon a day. I laugh when I hear people ordering a diet soda when they're stuffing their face with fast food. Diet anything is worse than regular because all those sweeteners are poison!
I use to drink Diet Coke till I started reading up on what makes it “diet”. Those of us that did partake of the liquid poison fell right into their evil plan to make us more sick.

I always listen to the side effects and in most cases, those are worse than the original issue.
About a year and a half ago my wife was given a new antibiotic for a UTI. 6 weeks later she wound up in the hospital for over a month and almost died with liver numbers over 10k. The drug side effect attacked her immune system causing autoimmune Hepatitis along with pancreatitus. She has been on prednisone since and recently wound up back in the hospital a couple weeks after her flu shot doctors recommended last fall with another serious spike in liver numbers. The side effects of these drugs can be fatal and will screw up the rest of your life but with overuse of things like antibiotics when we were younger new drugs must be developed for even simple infections. My flu shot got me a ride in an ambulance to the ER last fall but that's another story.

Both my sons drink it and I keep saying, "so you're happy to take part in the world's largest uncontrolled medical trial" Sugar for all it's evils, has been with us and part of our diet for many thousands of years.

I haven't gotten a flu shot in years. Bugs the crap out of my wife. I am lucky my doctor doesn't push it on me. Heck, I have gotten through two really minor colds while everyone at work kept taking off sick.

I've only had the flu once about 30 years ago and I've never taken any shots and never will. I'm sick of hearing about the whole "conspiracy theory" thing because it's always a conspiracy until it isn't!

Have you heard about the newest one when people are now be poisoned contaminated from blood transfusions? The Red Cross doesn't label the blood from people that have "the" shot and those who never did. So now the ones who never received it are having protein spikes, blood clots and have died. It's easy to give your own blood IF you know you're having surgery but in an emergency you're now rolling the dice. They say you really need to have friends or family on file who have the same blood type as you just in case.

I hadn't had one since the problems after the jab that are now classified as long covid. When you're over 70 with someone in the house with autoimmune problems and grandchildren visits it is highly recommended. My problem wasn't from the flu shot itself but a response because of problems caused by my BP medications that was brought out. Could believe almost $15k for a 25 hour visit.

I assume you are talking about the COVID shot. It is a question they ask when you donate. They just want to make sure you have not taken a live virus vaccine within 14 days. They say the blood from the vaccinated is safe (supposedly). I have been donating most my life. Blood is in short supply around here. They are constantly advertising for donations.

I’ve never had a flue shot. My wife got one every year and got sick every year. I NEVER got the first covid shot and nearly lost friends that had gotten the shots. I told both of my (NP’s) Nurse Practitioners that I need someone that will listen to me and not a (PPP) professional pill pusher. I just took a six day dose of prednisone for a root canal reaction and hated every single pill.

So they say.:lipssealed::rolleyes: Yes they do ask if you've taken it but they don't separate it from those who haven't taken it.

I can't post the video here and it's to long but three's enough info out there where you should be able to find it. Plus I don't want to go down that route here.

I hadn’t heard that yet but it makes sense. Part of the plan.

Speaking of drug ads I'm sure you've seen the ones for TD (Tardive Dyskyinesia) they're on almost every darn channel. This is a disease/side effect (they even say right in the ad!) that's caused from taking another mental health meds. Now they have another drug called Caplyta to "help" with the side effects from the first drug you took. o_O I mean you can't make this stuff up yet people line up to take this crap and then have to take another pill to stave off the effects of all the others. 🤦‍♂️

Big Pharma has their hands in everyone's back pocket from the politicians, CDC, FDA, and all the grants and studies are backed by them. Talk about the wolf guarding the hen house!! 🤬
