Flu

[steve dave]

There is a huge epidemic of whooping cough right now because dumbasses went anti-vaccine. What those selfish dicks don't realize (or care about) is that they will survive whooping cough or the flu just fine but some kid in chemo is going to die because they like the Ace Ventura guy.

Some badass pediatricians refuse to see babies whose parents are dumbasses against vaccinations.  Kudos to those doctors

The Christmas flu has now claimed a fiff victim.  Sent a squawk back to larryville to miss out on x-mas, downed a Des Moineser where she lay, slayed my wife before she rose again and I am fully recovered.  Only the heir declared the bug pud and carried on sticking every germ covered dog toy, pacifier and piece of carpet in to his gullet.

saying that you aren't going to get a flu shot because you never get sick is like saying that you're never going to wear a seat belt because you've never been in an accident. i swear i wonder how some of you are even able to figure out how to make usernames and post here with some of the logic that you display once you do. it's baffling.

[Bloodfart]

Do it for the kids.

 Also, if you have sick kids do not call your brother-in-law and ask permission take them to the family gathering.  That is a bullshit question to ask someone with a newborn.    I told my respect sister-in-law that I would rather they didn't come but they did anyway.

I got a flu shot and had this weird 24 hour thing where I could only get out of bed to crap straight water every couple of hours or so. I had Christmas ham in my stomach that wasn't digesting at all. I didn't even roll over because it unsettled my stomach and made me feel like death was in my digestive tract. It probably wasn't the flu, but what was it????

I usually just play the odds that I won't come into contact with the type of flu that is in the shot anyway.

Flu shot is for the influenza virus that causes coughing, sneezing, and fever.  If you were shitting water then you either had a rotavirus or norovirus, both of which cause the condition of gastroenteritis, which presents the symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain.  Those viruses causing stomach problems are the "stomach flu".

Why the eff didn't my flu shot take care of those, too? It was the sickest I've been in like five years.

a "stomach flu" vaccine is a good million dollar idea

Don't think it is possible.

Did a little research.  There are a few types of rotavirus.  This is what little kids usually get.  Anyone can get it, but once you get it you usually build up an immunity so you don't get it again, or when you get it again the symptoms are greatly reduced.  It's mostly confined to kids because most get it when they are little.  If you've had a kid get it, you'd wish you could have given them a vaccine.  If it's something that you get once then build an immunity, I would think there would be a way to create a vaccine.  I've seen my cousin's kids get it.  If I ever have kids, I'd pay $1,000 per kid for a vaccine not to have to go through that.

Got the same exact thing (24 hr stomach flu) last christmas.  Literally hit me when I had my christmas eve dinner plate in front of me, all of a sudden had to run to the bathroom and yak.  Spent all of christmas puking and shitting. Now my family has the same thing this year... 

Better not hit me before monday (phoenix bound)

Is binging a good counterattack to this plague? Because I'm pretty good at that and have been at it for the past few days .

Neither is the flu shot. That's why they never work.

I imagine more people my age die in the USA from not wearing a seatbelt than from the flu.

I got this once a few years ago.  I was getting ready to head to the gym to get buff and within maybe ten minutes I was on my couch shivering and achy and then I barfed what I had just eaten to fuel my gym session and then I started basically pissing out my butt and none of my food would digest at all if I managed to eat.  It lasted less than two days in earnest.  It was rough ridin' mind-blowing.  The sudden onset and severity were really something.  Shooting water out your butt is a very strange sensation.  Pssshhh!!
