i believe that the flu shot only protects against one strand of the flu.. as far as i know, 2 people on my floor already have it. but im keeping my distance away from them..

It may not provide direct protection of a particuliar strain but it wil minimize duration and severity of whatever you catch

I got something, I'm pretty dizzy all the time. Hard to heal from it when you don't get much sleep and work in the cold most of the time.

Its big here, lots of the deaths are in Washington, they will not give you the shot unless you are elderly because they are running out.



I said this back when SARS was a big scare, more people die in one year from the flu then have ever died from SARS.

Survival of the fittest bro....skip the shot and get to the damn gym. America is turning into a bunch of sissies. Everyone gets scared at the drop of a hat anymore. OOOOOOOOOOOh no!!! SARS, West Nile, the flu... I think if everyone would get off their fat asses every now and again and stop shoving meat flavored Crisco down their throats three times a day things would be a lot different. Hopin I'm not mashin any toes here, but seriously, the good ol USofA is outta control as of late. Fly to any other country and count overweight people, then count em here when you get back...it'll blow your mind I promise.



K....rant overwith Aaaaaaaaaah.
