Haven't had the flu in 35 years. Flu shots are hit and miss. But if you do get it like I had it once. A bird could fart outside my window and I thought it was thunder. Anyone over 65 needs a flu shot. You can throw all the stats you want out there and it won't change this hard heads mind.

I had the flu when I was 15,never had it since and I NEVER had a shot!

I have been getting flu shots for last 10 years, since the shots only includes protection from the most common flu strains for that year it does not guarantee total protection but considering the fact flu is a major killer of the young and old I get one every year, in fact I am getting this years today.

"Flu can directly lead to death when the virus triggers severe inflammation in the lungs. When this happens, it can cause rapid respiratory failure because your lungs can't transport enough oxygen into the rest of your body. The flu can also cause your brain, heart, or muscles to become inflamed."

"Influenza killed about 80,000 people in US in the 2017-2018 season, according to figures released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The previous high for a regular flu season, based on analyses dating back more than three decades, was 56,000 deaths.Sep 27, 2018

I live in Florida, due to having tourists from all over the world the potential for flu is much higher. I want gamble with my health at this stage of my life.

What does that say to you?

Now, I don't have death certificates for proof, but it tells me these shots and vaccines were invented for a good reason. Just sayin'.

rook etal,

I've yet to have a flu shot.....the thing is it's our immune system's job to fight against these bad guys. If we keep whimping it with shots and vaccines it'll get lazy and stop doing it's job.

Not going to argue that fact bill. I'm making what I think is the best decision for me. Like I said, everyone has their own opinion. I take care of myself, workout etc. but at my age you never know who'll you'll come in contact with that has the flu. I realize the shot is not a sure thing but it's been shown that if I contact the virus it won't be as bad as if I hadn't gotten vaccinated. I've had the flu. I know how bad it can be. I hope no one here gets it but if you do, good luck.

With that said we could change the subject. Just a thought

Well, I ain't going to Perryville tomorrow. My parents decided that looking for GOAT trailers would be a better idea. Of all the dumbness...they were swindled when they bought those fleabags anyway.

They rescheduled Perryville to Thursday, so I hope they hold there word on this one.


In other news, my check that I sent for my artillery shell never reached the dealer. This is just wonderful.



I do have some good news. It will be a long process, but negotiations for an Equinox will start tonight.

And where would we be if we weren't given Small pox or polio shots.

Some of the worst flu outbreaks on American history.

First flu I. Link below is 1918 Spsnish Flu, killed 50 million world wide and 675,000 in America, where were their natural immunities then since there was no flu shots available then.
