flu vaccines and side effects
GodSlayer:
so, there are a loooooooot of anecdotes saying that people feel so crook they're bed-ridden for days after a flu vaccine* (even from very pro-vaccine people).
*the shot, not the spray.

the GP they picked for this story could not possibly have been any more flippant (minute 4:50+)
what's the deal?
Belgarath:
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of those anecdotes begin with:
'I wasn't feeling well, so I decided to go get a flu shot. Suddenly I felt worse'
No dummy, that's the flu or a cold. You had it before the shot.

didn't see that in any of the anecdotes. but did see people suggesting it might be a cold, not a flu.
of course, it doesn't have to be 'the flu', does it? like if you take chemo and feel shit because of the chemo not the cancer, could people feel worse because something is exciting their immune system, though they don't actually have a cold or flu virus to blame for it?

Like the second poster of this thread posted, this is clearly the 'me too' fallacy.
