:Q

apparently now, the doctors have notices not to give them out anymore. Something about only for the elderly or young children because of the shortage.

Don't need one though, healthy beer drinking high cholesterol college student.

I don't think I've ever had one.

That and the fact that they are evil I tell you, need to build your body with a good set of antibodies and such so you can fight off these later in life.

Why the diseases are mutating so much since we decide to bring about a cure only for them just to become nastier in a short time.

Plus I hate needles so nope

I like the way you think.

Healthy beer drinking old fart with high cholesterol and extremely high liver function here. :shocked:

I think there is a fine/short stint in jail for giving the flu shot to someone outside of the high risk categories.

What you speak carries more truth than you may realize. I have never had a flu shot and only had the flud once when I was @ 10 years old.

Why? Getting a flu shot is just weakening your immune system, making it easier to get the flu. I never get flu shots and I never get the flu.

Uncle Sam makes us get the flu shot every year . . . unfortunately, I get a mild flu every single time I get the shot.

Well it could be because the flu shot is a weak version of the flu that you are getting injected with.

Granted, still sucks though. I eat right and exercise, pretty certain I can fight off the flu on my own.

What's with all these shortages? Every year theres a shortage and its getting worse. We're supposed to have the best medical system in the world. It certainly is one of the most expensive. So why al the shortages?

And to those that say it weakens your immune system, thanks for the misinfo noob.

Supposedly, there were 2 companies producing the shot.

Then, something happened to one of the companies, like they found something in the serum or something went wrong, so the supply effectively halved.

Was the other company name Umbrella? That might explain things.

Well I guess we relied on Europe for a large part of the shots and they were contaminated so they had to throw them away.

The reason it weakens your immune system is due to the fact that your body hasn't tried to fight it and as soon as you stop getting the shots you are in trouble.

No, the other company was Halliburton.

Yes, but you live at home with your mom and wake up to smoke a half-burnt cigarette...so your opinion doesn't count!

You don't know how the shot works do you? The shot triggers your immune system to create antibodies by introducing the virus in a non active form to your system.

That's what they'd like you to think. (cue X-Files theme)
