    why is that so hard to believe?

    If someone is not vaccinated for the strains that could have been prevented and they end up getting the flu, their body is in a weakened state; therefore weakening the immune system. Right?

    If someone has a weakened immune system and are exposed to other strains that do not have vaccines, they are less able to fight it if exposed.

    It's basic preventitive medicine.

    I didn't merge the 2 since they were from 2 different sources and I was focusing more on the need for the vaccine this year.

    I wonder if people who oppose immunizations for their kids will stand by that belief if the avian flu becomes serious here.

    I was just sitting here wondering at what age they will give children the flu shot. My daughter didn't need it last year at one, but I think they will give them starting at two. Any thoughts anyone?
    This scares the hell outta me.

    The Flu Mist is actually still the live virus. The old school shot is the dormant virus.

    Too bad they don't have enough of the avian flu vaccine to go around.

    they have a half-asleep viris that you inject into your eye socket with a caulking gun.

    scientists are saying that with this avian flu you can crumble up some dried shit from an infected bird and snort it. two big ol' rails and you're good to go.


    got that fuckers?

    I hate that flu you can get that causes you to dream about that little old black lady in Nebraska and the evil guy that looks sort of like Mel Gibson.

    This flu has not figured out a way to jump from person to person yet.

    We better hope it never fucking does.

    Doesn't stop some people from trying to make it into a huge issue already. Probably to take the heat off them for something else they did or didn't do.
