While it isn&amp;rsquo;t clear yet why older people seem more affected, it&amp;rsquo;s already known that other respiratory infections also impact seniors more seriously than younger patients.

Nor will I have one in the future. I had a battery of vaccines before entering nursing school in the 1960s which included some of the more unusual ones. I experienced inflamitory responses to the vaccines. I also am very healthy at age 79. I don&amp;#39;t take any prescription drugs. If my health is compromised for some reason, I will simply decide to shut my body down and return to my spiritual body.&lt;/p&gt;

A nursing home is a kind of prison for old people?  They can&amp;#39;t get out?  Except by way of the back door.... I laugh because I&amp;#39;m not in one...yet....   I&amp;#39;m past 65 and it&amp;#39;s a downhill slope.... So I&amp;#39;m stumbling down the hill...trying to avoid rocks and drop offs...and there&amp;#39;s ole el morte at the bottom laughing his *ss off...&lt;/p&gt;

She stated dog tissue and mouse brain cells were just a few of the contaminants of the flu vaccination. In Italy, the flu shot that was used was one that was grown on dog tissue. Dogs are carriers of Corona Virus’s. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have suspected all along that there was a connection with the flu shot and who was getting sick. When my mom and dad were in the nursing home, every year I wrote the director of nursing that my parents were not to get the flu shot or the pneumonia shot. I am a nurse and have refused the flu shot every year. I also refused to give them to my patients.&lt;/p&gt;

Combo&amp;#39;s of drugs from Big Pharm , might possibly be a factor in it all.&lt;/p&gt;
