A bunch of wussys. Afraid of the shot. Also lacking in common sense.
So take note, every illness isn't the flu. Those advertising they got the flu right after the shot are just full of it. The only way you could possibly know is by going to the doctor and having some blood drawn, then sent away for a lab test. But we know that won't happen because you are afraid of needles. You have about the same confidence as saying you had polio, anthrax, the plague or whatever. You just don't know unless you've had a lab test that confirms it. I know you folks aren't very strong on statistics, but here's the skinny. You have a better chance of getting some disease by just sitting in a doctors office, or worse, Walmart. But it won't be the flu. If you get a shot and then get sick, get yourself right back to the doctor and have him confirm the illness.
If you do that, I'll help you stand up and shout how you got the flu. Otherwise, I'll consider you and all others with similar stories to be idiots. To claim you've caught the flu without a test to confirm it is just crazy.
Yes, as always, I got my shot on 10/2. And I got sick yeasterday. Probably not the flu, more likely the creeping crud my grandson has been fighting for a few weeks. But he still spends lots of time on my lap, and I'm good with it.
