Updated: Monday, 11 Oct 2010, 6:27 AM EDT

A new study says the flu vaccine can lower the risk of heart attacks.

British researchers found the flu vaccine lowered the risk of heart attacks by 19% of those studied. They also found the numbers were higher for those who got vaccinated early(October-November). Their risk for heart attacks was lowered by 21%.

IMMUNE systems are what keep us healthy. Stay healthy and you'll stay healthy.

I don't take any vaccines lol. keep a good diet and take care of yourself and you should be fine.

Yup. Whoever dies from a flu, should have probably been long dead anyway. What a crock to try and get people to buy that crapola. Eat well, take care of yourself and, of all things, something as petty as a flu is a thing any healthy immune system can handle.

Oh no don't get a flu shot, it's just one big conspiracy... It's really going to kill you, I know some guy that says he heard about someone dropping dead after a flu shot.... The pharmaceutical companies are trying to get everyone to get their free flu shots so they can make tons of money and control the world... I saw a youtube video once, it was made by some guy in his moms basement, and it explained it all to me...

Vaccines have never done any good.... EVER

Thia is definitely a fake study

**Darreningym** · 10-12-2010, 04:29 AM

maybe its just the more "health" concious people that get these shots. They are probably also vegetarians etc... Statistics can be easily skewed in alarming directions. As long as you can select your sample group you should have no problems proving just about anything.
