Gee. I guess my dad, a practicing internist since about 1960, was wrong all those thousands of times he's diagnosed influenza in his patients and family members.


This conversation would be much more meaningful if I had with your father, who is an MD, than with you, who has no Medical training that I am aware of. Can I assume that he is virulently anti vaccine as you are?
