Skip the Flu Shot

I never get one and I never get sick.

Think I want them pumping their poisons into me?


"Flu vaccine makers ship doses early; Shots to contain all new strains" by Linda A. Johnson, Asociated Press | August 15, 2008

TRENTON, N.J. - Flu shot makers have begun shipping their vaccines already, earlier than usual, and for the first time every strain included in the shot is new.

The changes are due to a push to vaccinate an extra 30 million Americans - children ages 5 to 18 - and to a significant shift in the influenza strains expected to circulate in the northern hemisphere this year. One is a new Australian strain that sickened many last winter, when the vaccine didn't match the prevalent flu strains well.

Oh, so they released some strains into the population, huh?

Nothing like keeping market a going concern.

I just wonder when is the EndGame release.

All but one of the five manufacturers expected to supply a record 143 million doses to the United States.

Cha-CHING!

The CDC is recommending that all children over 6 months get flu shots.

All the more reason to NOT get one.
