Are you getting your H1N1 shot

[Grumpy]

For the record I do not plan on having the shot.

Note to file: I believe the 2009 H1N1 shot is different than the normal flu shot/nasal spray being given out.

I never get flu shots or the flu in general. Just another scare tactic from the drug companies.

I don't qualify at my age but would take a pass if I did.

Unfortunately, it appears that the last 800,000 pre-filled syringe vaccines have been recalled for lack suspected of potency.

The claim is that this is only a small portion of produced vaccine but my wifes clinic is now out again with no projected date of the arrival of new, yet.

I smell lawsuits already.

The flu pandemic that ran from 1918 to 1920 killed at least 50 million people. Some believe the number was closer to 100 million. That's anywhere from 3% to 6% of the total world population at the time. It was caused by H1N1.

Some scare tactic!

BFD, I'm ready to go to the better place...so long as my "Vidder" can cash in.

Just don't stand in my way, or I'll light my way to the new world with your sorry ass.

Calls for a shot and a beer,

Hear, hear. Have one on me!

Can I have any carbon credits you have left over after you blaze a trail into the great blue yonder? Or maybe it carbon offsets? I can never remember which is which

We're getting them at work, and yes, I'll be first in line as I was for the seasonal vaccine. Wish I already had it.

Tell you what I'll do fellers.

Once I'm off to the Better Place, Ya'll can have my carbon credits, divvy up my Socialists Security, and take a trip to Holbox on yours truly.

Have fun, and give a dollar bill to everyone you see. They expect it.
