To: a little elbow grease

There have been some few people who died in auto crashes (or its aftermath, from burning or drowning) BECAUSE they were wearing seatbelts. But those numbers pale compared to the numbers of people who have been saved by them.

Same goes for flu vaccinations. 650,000 Americans died in the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic. 70,000 died from the Asian flu in 1957. In the 2018 flu season, 4000 Americans die each month from influenza, the vast majority of whom were unvaccinated.

So get your gall-danged flu shot already, because you’re endangering the rest of us if you don’t.

LOL ......... your "logic" seems a bit faulty.

Let me see: I'm a 72 year old male and have never had a flu shot AND have never had the flu. My wife is 68, never had a flu shot and never had the flu. Hmmm .....

Personally, I am not going to start getting a flu shot now ........ but, I will wear a seatbelt.

******

Have a Pleasant and Prosperous New Year ....

Um. How does that work?

I don’t get a flu shot. You do. You believe the flu shot is “immunizing” you from getting the flu. So how does whatever happens to me, affect you anyway?

Don’t say herd immunity because it’s BS and not science at all.
