Re: REMINDER: Flu shot season is quickly approaching.

Nothing against those that want to get these shots but not for me. The
only times in my life that I have gotten anything close to the flu was
after I got one of these wonder shots. If someone believes that is works
for them then go ahead and shoot up.

I have nothing against the "Medical Profession" just the Flu Shots.
But just watch, as winter closes in the news will start with the reports
of 'Oh My Gawd, it will be a Flu Pandemic'. They do it every year and it
doesn't happen. I can easily see were someone could think that it was a
money making scheme.

By any chance did you happen to be around in the late 1950's and early
1960's when the first "Asian" influenza pandemics raced around the world
because cheap trans-continental air travel was available for the first
times? I was in grade school in the early 1960's, and I remember
literally half of the kids in class being kept at home while sick from
it.

Never say never.

You are probably one of those carriers who never get more than mild
sniffles from the viruses and blithely pass it on to the rest of us who
are vulnerable. ;-)
