    Gov. Andrew Cuomo says Thursday that all New Yorkers six months of age and older over who haven’t received a flu shot yet should get vaccinated as soon as possible. The Democrat says the health department reports influenza cases rose by 54 percent over the past week, with new cases diagnosed in all 62 counties.

    Officials say the 1,606 New Yorkers hospitalized the past week with lab-confirmed flu is the highest weekly number since the health agency reporting began in 2004.

    Health officials say as of last Sunday, there were 17,362 confirmed cases of flu reported, with more than 5,200 people hospitalized this season.

    and still there are those geniuses in the Yiddishie velt who refuse to protect themselves and their families in spite of all the warnings.

    There are neurological side effects from the flu shots, which although rare, can occur (i.e. Guillen-Barre Syndrome, paralysis, etc.). Also, the flu shot can cause Tachycardia in some individuals (rapid heart rate). The flu vaccine is not always safe for all people.

    Notice that the story does _NOT_ say how many of these people had gotten flu vaccine.
    As it turns out, the vaccine is less than ten percent effective. Which gets into the category of why even bother.

    To #6 - I sincerely thank you for your support of my posting (#2 ). Incidentally, both #2 , and #5 , don’t want to face reality. There are still many people who have been permanently disabled, from the flu shot. There were many affected in 1977, when the government kept warning us of a massive “swine flu” pandemic, which never materialized. Both 2 and 5 are very bigoted people, who assumed that I wear streimel. Even if I did, that is none of their blasted business. One would expect such biased remarks from goyim.
