Flu shots

Ok, so how many of you died because you didn't get your shot last year? Can you say market manipulation? Needless to say I haven't had one since the 70's. Will you this year?

I've never had one, and I doubt that I will die from the flu.

Of course, I was electrocuted good and proper once, and that didn't even kill me. Among other things.

I get the seasonal flu shot every year. I had the real honest-to-God flu about 15 years ago and it kicked my ass bad enough to have me get flu shots since. FWIW, my mom died from the flu about 10 years ago (she was already weakened from old age and other illnesses).

As for H1N1, I didn't get that shot.

We got both this year as I have no love for the flu and it would be deadly in Florence's case. Besides we got to get something for our $96.40 per month to Medicare B.

I get a flu shot every year after a case of pneumonia knocked me out for about a month before.

Get it free at work so I do it every year. I see they are about to toss millions of dollars worth of H1N1 doses for lack of people who want them.

The media manufactured panic must be over.

Hell, no.

I figure if the swine-flu, H1N1, or whatever the hell it is kills me before I lose my job I won't have to worry about paying for healthcare.

Regards,
Dave
