    FWIW the flu shot this year is supposed to be effective. The effectiveness is largely dependent upon guessing which strains will be active six months ahead of time; early cases in the U.S. this year are largely those strains that the vaccine covers.

    My favorite ate the idiots that have one anecdote as their reason for not getting one, but ignore the hundreds or thousands of cases they know of where the vaccine worked.
    "My sister got the flu shot a few years ago and she got the flu from it! She were sick for 2 weeks!" Yep, you know someone that was already sick before they got the shot, though they may not have known it yet. What about the rest of the people you know that get a flu shot every year and don't get the flu? Why don't you use them as your anecdotal evidence?

    Because they're conspiracy theory believing douche bags that like to think they're smarter than other people to cover up the fact they're the true ignorant slice of our society. It takes an incredible amount of arrogance to think you know more than those that have studied virology for their entire adult lives.

    I got tested for the flu a couple of weeks ago...That may have been more unpleasant than the q-tip jammed in the penis std test....They basically jam a Q-tip into your eyeball/brain through your nose, twice, one in each nostril....I swear the end of that q-tip was above my eye brows.

    Never understood why someone wouldn't get a flu shot barring some kind of allergy. I would get one even if I didn't have to, which i do.

    Had flu first year of med school. It was great. Especially when I got to take a makeup exam for the gross anatomy head & neck practical.

    If you don't get the flu shot and get the flu, I hope you die.
