I had the "regular" flu shot the other day

I wonder if the President will get a "saline" vaccine shot on TV to show how safe it is and to show his confidence in Baxter International.

Maybe he'll tell the school children to take their shot so they can rise up from being a nobody to being President of the U.S.A.

I think you meant to post this in the "Paranoia" thread.

That's because you didn't get the croaker vaccine.

The one you got will only put you in a great deal of pain down the road.

Then, you will happily accept the croaker shot.

I'll be seeing you in a box of breakfast cereal.

Please donate.

Last I heard was there will not be enough to go around initially anyway. They are urging pregnant women to get it as well as children. In the children that have gotten the flu, it appears the majority of fatalies have been in those over 5. People over 60 as said above appear to have more of a tolerance and are not specifically urged to get it as they are with the regular flu shot.

If you want one and can get it, go ahead. If you don't, don't. And if they try and pass a law forcing people, don't worry. The ACLU will file a lawsuit on behalf of those who don't want one.

I personally am wary of it because I remember the first swine flue back in the 70's. The shot they came up with then did far more harm than good. I realize they have come along way in science since then, but they had to come up with this so fast, it still worries me.

When they announced that a vaccine was in the works I picked up some Baxter (BAX) at $46. I am the happy camper today ($56 close yesterday).

Good for you. If you are smart you'll sell before the company gets sued to death.
