Flu Season is Coming



Recommended Posts

Got the Flu and Pnemonia shots last week. Came down with the flu the next day, I have awesome luck. I know that the shots are a non-active version of the latest predicted virus (didn't cause it). I was lucky enough to be incubating the rotten bastard of a bug at the time I got the shots.

Congratulations on being smart enough to realize that! Too many people have no idea how infection really works. Others call every little cold "the 'flu".

I grew up thinking every bad cold/sinus/stomach thing was 'the flu'. Never got my flu shot, because I'd had 'the flu' and it wasn't all that bad!

Then, I actually got THE FLU. I was IN BED for a week, unable to do more than go to the toilet, and then walking around the house sick for 14+ days. I've never missed a flu shot since, and have never been sick with it again.

I think way too many people think they've had flu when they haven't. After actually having it, I understand how kids and elderly people die from it. Get your shot...herd immunity is marvelous :)
