The results of clinical studies on zinc have been mixed to poor:
Zinc -- Your body needs zinc for its immune system to function properly, so it has long been thought that zinc could help protect against catching a cold or flu. But the evidence has been decidedly mixed, with some studies finding a benefit from zinc lozenges and others showing no effect. Recently, a review of studies that compared zinc to placebo found that most of them had flaws that made any positive results unreliable. Only 4 studies were deemed reliable, and 3 found no benefit from zinc lozenges. The remaining positive study suggested that zinc nasal sprays might help reduce nasal stuffiness, but zinc nasal sprays have been reported to cause permanent loss of smell and are not recommended for use. If you do decide to try zinc lozenges for a cold, remember that getting too much zinc (more than 50 mg per day over a long period of time) can be dangerous. People taking cisplatin, penicillamine, and quinolone or tetracycline antibiotics should not take zinc.

This stuff kills kids. . . . .
But seriously it should be by choice, no one should be forced to get vaccinated.
I find it amazing that people can be so willfully ignorant....
Look into the history of vaccinations, read up on small pox and how many children it killed in the last century, and how many children it kills today.
You are also making this world a worse place to live.
Most disease is caused by poor living conditions and food, why not tackle that problem first.
The nirvana fallacy is a name given to the informal fallacy of comparing actual things with unrealistic, idealized alternatives.[1] It can also refer to the tendency to assume that there is a perfect solution to a particular problem. A closely related concept is the Perfect solution fallacy.
By creating a false dichotomy that presents one option which is obviously advantageous—while at the same time being completely implausible—a person using the nirvana fallacy can attack any opposing idea because it is imperfect. Under this fallacy, the choice is not between real world solutions; it is, rather, a choice between one realistic achievable possibility and another improbable solution that could in some way be better.

For years, ATS'ers have been saying it...'they' create an annual shot which leaves people more susceptible to an artificially created pandemic strain to be released into the wild a year or two down the road.
Who normally receive an annual flu shot in the greatest numbers? The old and the weak.
Who benefits?

I can agree that during a outbreak of Polio or something similar using vaccinations might be a good response ,to stop the spread. but blanket vaccinations, will destroy immune systems. It would be a far better , to maintain healthy diets that support immune function. Then if you get a mild form of a disease, it wouldn't be life threatening. At present we are on the brink of a dietary cataclysm, where their might be no other way out than to vaccinate.
Most disease is caused by poor living conditions and food, why not tackle that problem first. But strangely thats too difficult, as it would mean a loss of income to pharmaceutical corporations.

There is no consistency of logic whatsoever in that post. You cannot logically say "Well yeah sure it makes sense to use these when the disease rears its head, because they work" and then at the same time say that the vaccines you ADMIT are effective somehow "destroy immune systems." There is a serious flaw in the logic right there...

Standard conspiratorial hand waving. "The lack of evidence is evidence of a cover-up!". You can't claim that doctors use zinc to prevent flue only to cry "cover-up!" when someone bothers to research your baseless claim. Pushing your claim into a position of unfalsifiability may make you feel warm and happy but it's not going to convince anyone with half a brain.

I think the Codex Alimentarus (or whatever the name is), which say certain kinds of chemicals have to be in our food (if I am correct) in combination with the vaccinations will lower our immune system and make us vulnerable for the virus that they will spread. Don't think it is ebola quite yet.
You aren't.

Considering that 75% of our immune system is in our gut. Then considering that the triggers for anaphylactic shock in this case are two majors, Peanuts and Dairy. The considering that a damaged immune system, hasn't the energy to combat the toxins already in Dairy produce. The body is overwhelmed and goes into shock. If the immune system isn't compromised, then it will be after a good dose of Dairy as it will be using all its energy to combat the accruing toxins. That's my theory anyway.

Why isn't anybody pointing out that the flu vaccine for 2015 is only about 23% effective, despite the cost for getting it and potential side effects and potential environmental consequences?

Because 23% effective means it works 23% of the time...
The report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates that this season's vaccine can reduce a person's risk for a doctor's visit due to flu symptoms by about 23 percent. That's much lower than average...
