I heartily agree with Ms. Philibert about the relative ineffectiveness of the yearly flu shot, and the under-emphasis by our health authorities on keeping our immune systems strong and healthy; as well as practising frequent – and I mean frequent hand washing; after bathroom use, before eating, after shopping or being out in any public place, etc.
I think we could use our hard-earned money more effectively to buy healthy foods and multi-vitamin/mineral supplements, rather than supporting the multi-million/billion dollar pharmaceutical industries. It’s also good for our health to enjoy our clean, fresh air while we get out to get some exercise several times a week.
