I was finally convinced that the current flu shots do not contain a live virus (like in the old days) and I have had a flu shot every year and haven't had the flu since.
I read an article that said Angleton Texas had the highest incident of influenza in the state and I know the reason why.
When a kid in the Angleton high school doesn't have an absence for the entire year they don't have to take the finals. They go to school sick and infect everyone else and it gets taken home and the whole family is infected.
If the Angleton school system hasn't changed this policy I'll bet it is still happening. Especially if stupid people still believe they will get sick from the flu vaccine.
Same when I was in school here, too. However, I don't remember anyone having the flu or much sickness either. We did have allergies and I suspect a lot of later infertility was caused by the high incidence of radiation in the water and tree farms spraying. Fast forward a few decades and a few counties over and the school is filled with running noses. There are also more illegals so much of the germs are coming in from Mexico. And the school pushes perfect attendance. There's some sort of punishment if you miss more than three days... after school study hall to make up work or something along those lines.
