They can take their vaccine and shove it. I’m not going to be willingly vaccinated

The last two flu shots I had were in the Air Force 1988 & 89........never, ever sicker in my life.

I will not take one.

Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen -- now let's be realistic here. If Surgeon General Benjamin says you'll take a flu shot, you'll take a flu shot! (Or suppository, if that's what you prefer.)

Regina has a house call with your name on it, honeychild.

My best friend is an RN, retired early now due to a chronic illness. She did plenty of ER and critical care rotations and said that the number of people hospitalized for flu vaccine reactions always way outnumbered those hospitalized for the flu.

I have never had a flu shot and even before I heard that little anecdotal statistic, I had decided I will never get one. I don’t know, maybe it’s me, but there’s something about getting a shot that will probably make you sick but MIGHT ward off the right flu strain that makes very little sense.
