I came with an inch of dying from it in October
I think it’s one of those situations where if you weren’t affected, it was no big deal. If you were, it was very serious. Sad that children died from it (or anyone really). That being said, a few weeks ago my daughter and I went to the mall and there was a line of people going all the way through the mall and back down half way. We didn’t know at the time, but we found it was for free swine flu shots. All ages. There had to be close to 2,000 people there. I said I’d take my chances. I did have the regular flu shot but that was quick and easy. Glad you recovered, though.
Sorry you experienced this. Not to minimize your illness, but was it any worse than a ‘normal’ flu where 50k+ people die every year? Granted, you were dealt the bad card, but didn’t the gov hype it? Standing lines in bad weather, doling out vaccines to the ‘privileged’ classes and all that. I’m really glad you’re here.
