A friend got the flu shot this year, came down with a flu sick as sin. A neighbor got the shingles shot, came down with Bells Paulsy, may never recover. I’d rather take my chances, made it this far.
If it doesn't, you just don't give a damn.
Went through the checkout at Rite Aid and the girl gave me a full-court press for the flu shot.
I told her “I wouldn’t take one of those damned things if you were giving it away for free!”
She kind of grinned and said “I know, but they make me say that. A lot of people are saying what you’re saying.”
Only 40% of Americans get the flu shot and that number has been flat for years. This has vexed our Wizards of Smart in Big Pharma and the public health sector. In all of the journals where they talk to one another talk is hot and heavy about what to do with “the Resistors”.
