Flu shot? (Page 3)

I will get one as soon as I am over the flu.

No, this is the part where I say that you're comparing 1940's knowledge and science to modern day knowledge and science.  You're doing exactly what you accuse her of doing which is providing extreme examples to dispute a point being made.  Nobody disputes that there have been previous practices invalidated over time, but there is a HUGE difference between what was known then and what is know now.  Do you really think that knowledge (or lack thereof) of what cigarettes do to you as known 50-70 years ago is at all comparable to what we know about the flu virus and vaccine right now?  As trinnas said, why do you believe anything modern science puts forth if you do believe that? 

What you don't believe me that armageddon will be brought on by tomato soup??????

OK how about the alignment with the galactic center will cause a radiation burst to be transmitted through all cell phones.  Any one on a cell phone at the time will have their latent zombie gene activated and will turn into zombies unleashing hades on earth.

flu shots dont stop strep throat. fyi.  

 

They don't stop STD's or Ebola either. 

they don't?  now i'm definitely not getting one.

You could always have them take your tonsils out. 


They did mine when I was 5 and I haven't had strep since.

I might get crazy and dip my grilled cheese in tomato soup. But I might catch the flu if I did. Becasue I got the shot 6 weeks ago and it could happen.

Ok Yeah that one I'll cop to. 

 crap. !!!!     

HA,HA!  good to know.   I got a blister on my foot as well.  DAM flu shot!

marathon is 1/30/2011  Tonsil removal is being scheduled for the week after.  I talked to the ENT last week about it.

I got a blister on my foot as well.  DAM flu shot!

or root canals...

I was with you on this one, but you know as well as I do that there is no latent zombie gene.  It is an infectious agent that vectors through human bites. 


Ah, flu season.  The time we all argue about the efficacy of getting vaccinated and how the evil drug companies and doctors are trying to poison us with mercury and ignorance.  Where is that popcorn?  Any kettle corn in there?

Ha!..... Pfft..... What do you think all those introns are for, it is your latenet Zombie DNA waiting to be activated by that infectious agent.  Activation can also occur due to strong radiation similar to the transformation of the hulk just not as bulky so your jeans don't fall off.
 

For all those doubting the Zombie Apocalypse

Ignore the threats at your own peril.

I got a flu shot and now I have a cold. Cause and effect I tell ya.

Seriously though, I got my flu shot. Can't visit my in-laws for xmas without it. BIL has cancer. Hope all of you non-shot/free rider folks never need to get a shot for the same reason. It sucks.

Can I share the cheesy popcorn. Love that stuff.

That's it, all this talk about Popcorn, I'm going to by the Garretts Chicago Mix popcorn tomorrow!

That looks like that Moose Munch stuff made by Harry & David.  Evil, evil, evil!  So yummy...so many calories.  

I have been enjoying a bag of lime/sea salt microwavable popcorn while lurking through this thread....surprisingly good (the popcorn).

Oh, and no shots for me.  Got the flu in August, for the first time that I can remember, while I was in Florida for work (or did I catch it in Vegas the week before...I'm not sure).  But I figure now I'm good for the year.

Oh you beat me to it. I was just gonna post some popcorn.

And as for me? Yes, I get the flu shot every year. It's a requirement of my job. If I get the flu, I could kill the very tiny lives that I  am trying to save......... 

Now, extra sea salt on mine please. 
Carry on with the silliness.
