A SHORT NOTE

Just a little note to keep you informed. While I am not saying to do this, my wife, The Handmaiden, just told me, before she went out the door to pick Blueberries, that an elderly couple here in our village get a flu shot every year and every year they catch the flu . On the other end of the spectrum, she and I never get a flu shot and never catch the flu. Is something trying to get through to me?

I have been seeing things about the possibility of the .gov having mandatory flu shots for folks this year. It was liked off of Survival Blog today. Pretty scary stuff- especially since the news reports make this thinking of mandatory vaccinations look normal.

tgik, you and I both know the news people don't work for us. And where will they find the sonovabitch with the balls to come storming up to MY door with a loaded hypodermic? Don't seem too feasible to me! We'll be okay.

Omce at the VA hospital, I was asked by a nurse if I wanted to get the shot. I said no and explained that the last time I got one, I got sick.

She looked around and said " I have to ask, but if you want some advice from me...never get a shot offered by the VA"...

She should know, I think!

Michael, I've had the exact same experience. Three years the Navy made me get a flu shot, and those are the three times in my life I've had the flu.... They are talking "mandatory vaccination". I will not comply....

NO! not now not never will I be force to take a shot or do anything that I feel is bad for me. Besides, I take my daily dosage of Bud and Camels and if anything can get past that, then....
