Compose an opus email. Keep the keyboard right close so that when the expiration exhalation hits you'll whack the "send" button. Me and some other Freepers will try to get by with some shovels and lime before you get all nasty, and we'll forward the opus to the board to boot ;)
You don't mind if we get all likkered up while we're at it do ya? Wouldn't be a proper send off without some drinkin' now!

I am certainly not against Medical advancement or seeing a doctor, and I would never say that nobody should ever get the flu shot..... Just that we are a nation of wusses.
We can defeat any army on earth, and we visit the Doctor in hope of drugs at the sign of a stifle. ;~)

"Can't kill a virus." Look up "Symmetrel" on google. Can't kill a virus? I dunno, but Symmetrel cured me of the worst case of flu I ever had.

OK, interesting take on it. I did get another flu shot, toward the end of November.

I think it's SARS. Or Monkeypox How about SARD?
To: Alas Babylon!
What if a flu virus mutated so severely Fujian has clearly mutated. Scientists knew, but FDA and industry said wait till next season, even though Panama has been give for 4 years in a row and Fujian "signature" said "don't wait". The virus grew fine in chicken eggs after passage through MDCK cells. The only dissenting vote was cast by the scientist with the most information.

I had a shot last year, and I've got the flu right now. Last years shot and this years shot contain Panama, which doesn't do much against Fujian.
To: suzyq5558
The one time I had it - it was bad. Down for a week, and I mean DOWN.

The majority of the cause is surely related to eating too much sugar and too many grains, getting inadequate rest. That's not what the Fujian sequence says.

The previous post is from the Dr. Mercola website. It's nonsense there and nonsense here.

THEN added that these kids had other complications!! Many children without underlying conditions have died. Secondary infections are not necessarily due to underlying conditions. The flu just makes you more susceptible to other infections, some of which can prove to be fatal.

In fact, the immunity tends to wane after about eight weeks. Why would immunity wane after 8 weeks?

SARS came from fowl SARS probably came from masked palm civets.
To: Axenolith
LOL! I'd do it, but there are a few guys who would be too happy upon seeing it (if I managed to collapse on the keyboard just right, that is). I'll just have to go quietly one day, unannounced, creating the appearance that a potential return is an ever-present possibility...

...now my kids are recovering from itPrayers for speedy recoveries!
