I don't want your damn germs or whatever transferred to me even it was just a few hours . Thank God I only go through the short 24 hour flu which is still a pain in the butt.

Thanks for making me feel like crap. I feel better but I'm dealing with a runny nose.

People before me that probably had the flu the other day when I was out and about, next time those people need to learn to just stay home if they have the dam flu long with a cold

Lol at shots/vaccines.

They're worse than the flu.

Shots or vaccines only make you weaker.

No wonder why there's been recent deaths from the flu probably because people being fools by being told to take shots/vaccines

Some people cant afford to miss a week of work. Not everyone has sick pay. In states with at will employment, you can still be fired when you are sick.

Ok well first of all, you're wrong. The flu shot is usually a good thing. However, you're right in that nobody should be getting it right now. They got the strains all wrong this year and that's why the flu is apparently worse than ever... They're expecting tens of thousands of deaths in America.

It's not worse than ever...big Pharma and the news media make money off your fears. 2009 was still statistically a worse season.

This is completely wrong. If you got the vaccine and you might have gotten sick but you are probably going to recover quite quickly. The people who didnt get vaccines are the ones who are going to be extremely sick and possibly die. They didnt get the strains wrong .

And when you got a sizeable amount of the population getting the vaccine and strengthening the flu its gonna fuck all the people who dont get vaccinated up bad

Actually he's right.

Mostly because this year's flu is H3N2, which is notorious for mutating rapidly

It fucking blows

I'm a manager of people who are relatively new to the company. They haven't accumulated a lot of PTO (they get 2 weeks a year for the first two years, accumulates at .22 a day starting from day one of employment).

So they don't take time off because they want it for personal shit and then they get me sick.

It's not that the shot is bad - it's that the strain is more volatile

Flu vaccines are generally only effective against the predicted "most dominant" strain that season.

Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they get it wrong.

If they get it right, you have an immunity if you got the shot.

If they got it wrong, well then you're protected against A and B is the strain you got. Sux2bu

After reading about it the vaccine is on annual average 60% effective for strain A and 30% effective for strain B.

This study says the vaccine is only 10% effective against H3N2. Ouch.
