Title: Flu Shots
Post by: EllToPay on August 16, 2010, 02:47:55 PM
Anybody get them? Mrs. ETP made a comment this weekend about making sure we get in to get them this winter, and I laughed hysterically in her face.

I get one every year.  Our office has someone come in and give them for free if we want them. :dunno:

I've never gotten one, and I haven't had the flu for like 10 years.

Does it only protect you for the winter, or is there some gradual build-up immunity it gives your body? :confused:

I don't think it's really important until you are very old.  But, I get one anyway for the delicious placebo.

She took the shot backwards, that's why that happened.  Do it the correct way and you'll be fine.

i have to get a flu shot every year. i also think you are probably at the very least mildly Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) if you don't get one.

Know a chick that directs like 8 clinics for HCA and she says only the old, young, and those with compromised immune systems need one.  Says it won't hurt to get one but there is no real reason to.  :dunno:

Post by: jmlynch1 on August 16, 2010, 07:13:38 PM
There's probably a reason she is only allowed to direct 8 clinics.

They're big into wrongly blaming vaccinations for autism.

Not so much the vaccinations as some of the chemicals used to stabalize them.

Meh. Flu shots are just a guess. they don't know what the actual flu strain is going to be.

Also the flu this season is probably going to be the worst  :jerk:

Definitely don't do it, especially if you will have to pay out of pocket for it.

Never heard of them.  what are they?  I drink alot so I'm surprised I hadn't heard of this one.

Post by: sys on August 16, 2010, 09:07:55 PM
i'd get a flu shot if there was known to be a highly virulent strain going around that the shot was effective in preventing.  can't see the reason for getting one normally.

there's what, maybe a 25% chance of getting slightly sick for a couple of days?  bfd.


also, don't have kids and you won't get sick so damn much, dumbasses.

Jmlynch-  That chick has more letters after her name than you would believe. I think you're a bit ignorant as to what a clinical director really is.  Let's put it this way: She only answers to 2 people-  The COO of Wesley Hospital and the CEO of HCA.  But I'm sure you are a much more credible source than she is.  :facepalm:

Luckily for me my immune system is the tits. Last time I had the flu, maybe when I was 12.

Also why would I want to reduce and depress my immune system by getting a vaccine?

I actually have to sign a refusal at my work to not get one. Reason: only retards get sick.

Also Congrats to all of the healthy people who aren't in the diet thread & that don't have to get vaccinated, I mean what are we animals?

Head janitor reporting directly to a COO?  :facepalm:  Pretty obvious that dorothy lynch here knows very little about executive level management.  In fact, he seems bitter towards them.  What's wrong, did some CEO not tip you for parking his car?  There's always nextime, bro.

getting a flu shot won't hurt, so why not?  stupid not to when they're offered free of charge by and at your place of employment.

Yeah, it's really not a bad idea, especially now that this a large enough supply to go around.  I'm vaccinated against all sorts of crap.  Hell, I got an anthrax vaccination.
