Flu doesn’t scare me. Prions do.

But I can’t take the flu shot. It’s got mercury in it! Or it has eggs in it! Or it’s against my Veganism! Or it’s a government conspiracy! Or it’s the Mark of the Beast! Etc., etc., etc.!

It is good we have the option of a flu shot. While my flu experiences have not encouraged me to get a shot in my own lifetime, as these viruses mutate and grow more resistant and virulent I am certain the need will one day come whether due to increased age or increased threat.
Wash your hands, cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm or a hanky, enhance your immune system with good diet, and avoid skin contact with ‘common’ areas such as tv remotes, phones, light switches, door handles and knobs to the degree you are able.
Respectfully,
and with best wishes for your continued health,
C.

1.Bush is responsible for Global Warming or
2. Global Warming is responsible for Bush.

You choose!

A lot of people don’t know that viruses – like the flu – don’t travel through the air on their own. They are contained in tiny water-droplets we eject when sneezing. In Japan people wear face-masks to catch those, especially during flu-season and in confined spaces (subway). There are “Hello Kitty” masks for children and other art-enhanced masks available. In our – western – culture that would be considered unusual, even strange or mad. Maybe we need some celebrities to change our culture to make that acceptable or even the norm, I believe infection rates would go down.

I have never had a flu shot and never will.
Remember REPUBLICAN Gerald Ford and the swine flu vaccine?
The cure for which there was no disease.

I’m not selfish, if I had the flu I’d go out and share it.

@Ms. Ima
Why you’re right here Miss Ima. We all know you’re nothing but the black plague come to ruin our comic pleasure with your meaningless conservative drivel.
