The media isn't telling people to get one, they are telling people not to get one unless they are high risk.

Here is a map from the State of MN showing that we a more than a 1/4 million flu shots short if we only vaccinate those that got one last year.



I called my doctor's nurse to see if it's even possible to get one in Albert Lea anymore, she said that there isn't any left at the ALMC and the reason is partly because they sold 1100 shots to the nursing homes. She didn't know if the nursing homes had enough flu shots to cover their residents yet.

So then is stupidity considered a cronic illness? If so, I know a few people that are currently in government that should be at the front of the line for their shot!  :p

Pneumonia shots are available, and isn't that what causes most of the deaths from the flu.  Someone told me that the pneumonia shots are good for life.  Is that true?  Liberal you need to take atleast 2-3 grams of Vit. C everyday.  No kidding it helps keep your immune system where it should be.

Actually in 2003 the nation as a whole did not use something on the order of 30% of the flu vacine that was produced for that year.  Huge quantities of it were simply thrown away after the season and its usefulness had passed.

Every projection for the alleged wave of death that awaits us has been grossly exaggerated.  Flu is endemic and that's life.
