“Flu Stop is a healthy alternative to the flu injection without needing to go to the doctor for
a needle. We offer a money back guarantee and $5,000 to any person who contracts the flu
within a reasonable time, after having used the Flu Stop every day for two months according
to the printed directions supplied with each bottle. Proof of receipt of purchase is also
required. $5,000 has been deposited at the National Australia Bank, Sydney for this purpose,
showing our sincerity in this matter.”
Tasmin doesn’t believe in vaccinations and doesn’t want to have a flu injection. The ‘Flu
Stop’ costs $70.00. Tasmin buys the product. She follows the instructions for 2 months. In
June 2019, after swimming at Icebergs in Bondi, Tasmin succumbs to a cold and then
