4 - INFLUENZA

from This Won't Hurt A Bit · host FOOLYBOO

It's flu season (in the northern hemisphere) and that means it's time to vaccinate yourself against common medical misconceptions. In this episode we tackle some of the big questions people have about influenza: What is it? And why should we get vaccinated? Can you get sick from a flu shot? Is the flu basically a bad cold? Does Tamiflu actually do anything? In addition, Dr. Jess Mason does some deep investigative reporting and contracts the flu virus for this episode.
