Regarding the new Flu shot drama that you're having... just saw that "Institut pasteur"  is about to send 22M. Flu Vaccine shots to the US.

I have to admit it made me laugh :lol

It's going to be concentrated Sarin. No WMDs in Iraq, they MUST have gone to France.

If we have to pay for aid... then that wouldn't that instead be  considered trade?

Aren't flu shots reserved to elderly and generally deficient people?

Now wonder you need it bad... :p

maybe but.... I have never had the flu or a cold that I can recall.   I figure that if all the other lab rats get theres then I won't need one anytime in the forseeable future either.

I disagree, if you need it you should have the shot ... I don't think it's will transform you in a healthy yuro-socialo-liberal-commie :)

The only persons needing a flu shot are the very young or very old, otherwise you're just weakening your own natural immune system.

The best thing you can do is stay away from anyone you know is sick, and wash your hands frequently.

You need to wash your hands with soap and hot water, and you need to do it for at least 15 seconds. You can also use one of those alcohol-based hand disinfectants.
 
There is also some anti-viral drugs that can reduce the severity of the flu if they are taken within 48 hours of the first symptoms. These are prescription drugs and you'll need to see a doctor to get them.
