I believe that the belief that believing in a shot is believed to be, by me, unbelievable.

I like your mentality. I mean why should anyone ever have congenital or acquired defects that inhibit your body's immune system or anything else for that matter?

Your failed, eugenical logic applies to people who are already healthy which is the smallest demographic in need of flu shots. As for your opening statement which I bolded, you're a fucking idiot.

Granted I have not and never will get a flu shot.

The pharmaceutical companies are trying to get everyone to get their free flu shots so they can make tons of money and control the world... I saw a youtube video once, it was made by some guy in his moms basement, and it explained it all to me...

Vaccines have never done any good.... EVER

The only thing the government gives for free are Flu shots... I'm sure they're just looking out for the poor souls who've lost their homes, the immigrants and unemployed. I'm so happy our government loves and takes care of us!

yay for a perfect world!

Happy Happy joy joy!

And the difference between their health care system and the U.S. is?

I was being sarcastic, I think vaccines have done a lot of good in the past, and I get the flu shot every year

Ah yes I do read it that way now.
It was my inner parasitologist screaming "Judas!".

How's the knee doing?

It's a lot better I am walking around now, and I'll be able to start running soon. I still have another 4 or 5 weeks of physical therapy left, but it'll still be a while before I'm 100% again

**Lordston** · 10-12-2010, 05:08 PM

I can only go with the anecdotal evidence within my own family. I, personally, don't get the flu shot and don't believe in it. My wife gets the shot every year....and every year she either actually gets the flu from the shot...or has a three day headache. This year was her final straw...she wont be getting the flu shot any more.

Still has to be nice to be walking around without a brace on.
Congrats on that man!

What, are you scared of the possibility of a little flu?

Do you get needles for the common cold too?

If you're to get a needle for anything I'd suggest getting one to increase your intelligence.

You should only get the flu shot if you get the flu, their is no point of getting it before hand unless your job make's you take it, that's if I were to take asprin everyday so I won't get a headach that is just dumb.

So you shouldn't get your kid immunized till they come down with whooping cough?

And a headache isn't a virus
