Vaccines and other epidemics (or threats thereof) are on-topic to drum
& bugle corps, as those who remember 1983 Whitewater can attest to.

Unless one wishes to argue that European imports tempted by blandos
were the cause there...

Heeheehee.

Here's what the flu shot paper says:

People who have a history of, or who have developed Guillain-Barre
Syndrome within 6 weeks of getting an influenza vaccine previously
Should Not Be Vaccinated.

GBS: Normally, about one person per 100,000 people per year will
develop Guillain-Barre Syndrome, an illness characterized by fever,
nerve damage, and muscle weakness. In 1976, vaccination with the swine
flu vaccine was associated with GBS. Only one of the studies showed an
association. The study suggested that one person out of l million
vaccinated persons may be at risk for Guillian-Barre Syndrome
associated with this vaccine.

Feelin' lucky?

Hmmmmmm, lottery of flu vaccine, lottery or flu vaccine.....
