I've never gotten a flu shot

[Zarathustra]

People are scared about the flu because the vaccine is like in shorter supply because they messed up in making it. The flu isn't just a cold it actually kills people. And it might be worse this year. Be scared. Get the shot.

I've had the flu. (Yes, the real flu, not a common cold). A few times. You know what? I'm not scared.

And I'm not getting the shot. There are elderly that are actually at risk for complications during the flu. I can understand them getting it, and I'll not take a dose that could serve a better purpose for them.

This reminds me of a few years ago when the news on every station was talking about the "BLIZZARD OF '99!" It was... two feet of snow. It snows in Chicago. Quit freaking out, people. I drove to the Hard Rock for dinner when the so-called "blizzard" hit.

To repeat, I AM NOT SCARED. And I don't think it serves any good to try and scare healthy people into getting the shot. If you're at risk for further complications as a result of getting the flu, go get the shot. But everyone else out there, stop acting like it's Armageddon. It's the flu.
