Hello Nigel and Hummingbird,
Yes, it is always the way of the media to report things from a negative slant. It sells the news. Unfortunately, good news does not sell.

As for flu shots, my son-in-law nearly died from one and ended up paralyzed for many months in the hospital. He now is on pain medication and walks with leg braces as a result.

There is usually an ulterior motive behind those things which garner big bucks such as medicines and such. While I totally believe in medical doctors and their life-saving profession, I don't always agree with some of their treatments. But, that's another rant in itself.

Thanks for stopping by.
