You know, this is the third time since getting the flu shot that I have had remarkably flu like symptoms…
To hell with modern medicine… someone bring me some fucking leeches.
interesting, since the injection isn’t live flu. the mist, apparently, is. which makes me leery of that method.
it must be the delivery system. they warned us here that feeling ill could be a side effect – but that might be due to your system’s reaction to the shock of an injection…
oh, the injection was quite some time ago… I’m not sick from that anymore… I just keep getting sick anyway… not very sick mind you, but enough to be annoyed since I thought I was supposed to be immune.
A flu shot can only protect you against the strains they inoculate you with, which is kind of an educated guess on the part of the doctors. The flu mutates wildly every year, and there are always multiple strains in the wild. Given that a strain can move around the world in a day due to the miracle of the jet airplane, protection is always hit or miss.
trust you to bring science into this… I’m trying to be bitchy goddammit… haven’t you noticed by now, its like my gimmick and stuff? There’s no room for logic here!!!
Actually, I don’t think I’m sick at all… I think I’m just hungry. Maybe I should start eating breakfast again. I just never have time, what with having to drive to the fucking other side of the world for work every day.
Not to mention the fact that just about every other virus in the world causes flu-like symptoms too, and none of them are prevented in any way by a flu shot.

Didn’t you know that leeches are a useful medical practice? The anti-clotting agents in their saliva aid in reattaching limbs and stuff like that.
