...to get a flu shot. I'll post later! I LOVE flu shots. They're right up there with...say...rectal exams...definitely in the top five.

BLECH.

Anyone can get them, but they do have a list of high-risk people who SHOULD get them.; 7:48 PM

I assume they actually help you and you don't end up with the flu or worse? Honestly, anyone I talk to about it is sick often. It doesn't make sense to me.

Please enlighten me if you can!; 10:10 PM
Anonymous said...: Can't have them. I'll survive the flu, but the flu shot could kill me. So I don't take them. HEALTH magazine had a great article this month on how more and more people shouldn't have the shot, because it's a guess at what strain MIGHT come around, and it loads your body with toxins that might have nothing to do with the actual flu.

No thanks.

I live in NY. Toxic enough.; 11:42 PM
