Get vaccinated. Stop the flu.

And visit the great State of Washington while you do it!

 

[Mash]

You live in Washington? No shit? Wooh!

Washingtonians unite!

Edit: Oh yeah and uh...hugs not drugs, get vaccinated, save the whales, blah blah blah.

Your inaccuracy shall cost you your left thumb. Care to take another guess? 🙂

 

[Mash]

...Damn.

pftttttttttt i got the damn flu shot and still got sick...grrrr...

 

[kopfhorer1]

That sucks, Izzles. I've had similar experiences myself.

I think I actually caught a brief case of the flu courtesy of the great city of New York last fall (luv them subway trains, don't you?), so I probably don't need the vaccine, right?

That public service announcement was great! (When I was a kid I thought Washington must be a really clean kind of place!) FWIW, I keep a bottle of hand sanitizer with me at all times.

No vaccinations for the flu! Flu-related deaths have increased since wide-scale vaccinations began in the late 1970s because only the most virulent strains are surviving. Peoples' natural resistance to lesser strains has been damaged, thus leaving them more susceptible to advanced infection by the more dangerous mutations.

Help create a super-flu? No thanks. I'll stay flu-resistant without ill-conceived snake oil!

Make sure you don't get the tetanus or polio vaccines either. Skip that stupid Hepatitis B vaccine as well.

 

[the_jimmy_james]

Don't go that far.

 

[idiot756]

Polio? Talk about old school. I thought that disease was extinct.

Because of my age, they supposedly gave me quadruple the strength of a regular flu shot..plus a swine flu vaccination..hmm..ya right..i shall never get a flu shot again..

Quadruple strength flu shot?

Isn't a flu shot a dead copy of the flu virus?

Anyone know if anyone's come even remotely close to developing the cure for the flu?

 

[PurpleStyle]

Yeah; they're called flu shots.

 

[Rox_My_Sox1]

Yeah; they're called flu shots.

Not really much of a "cure" but then again I blame myself for including the word "remotely".

 

[PurpleStyle]

Remember Smallpox? There was no "cure" for that either. 😉 Dealing with mutating forms of life that cause disease doesn't seem so black and white. Of course, I could be wrong.

 

[FeatherDaemon1]

Remember... only you can stop the flu!
