Ca a flu running it's course through men our age really cause enough damage to make us reconsider our feelings as to an inoculation?
I feel like [bleep] for a week and then I come back. What does the inoculation do?...cut it back to 3 days of misery?
You can still get the virus after the inoculation,right?

... I've never had the flu vaccine ... I haven't had the flu in over 7 years. Seven years ago, you had the flu?

Never had a flu shot, never had the flu. Just wash your hands and stop mind-[bleep] everything here guys. Go live life instead of worrying about something you'll never change.

I've never been shot in the head either, but I still carry a gun.
There are generally 2 types of folks that don't worry, those that are prepared and those that are ignorant.

You can still get the virus after the inoculation,right? I hear talk, but I've never actually known anybody to get the flu after receiving the vaccine.

I have but I really can't say they had the flu, even though they said so. Plus, I've read of it happening.
Maybe I don't know what the flu actually entails. I'm thinking nuclear cold with fever that keeps our asses sedentary for at least 2-3 days.

I have come down with a nasty "cold" several times right after I have had a flu shot. I'm not sure if it was the flu shot or just bad timing, but it has happened enough times that I no longer get a flu shot.

My Dad. But he's 80+, COPD, cancer, heart conditions, agent orange, etc. So even a light flu puts him down. The only case I know for sure.

Each vaccination is a dice roll. You may argue as to how many sides there are on the dice, but the high number comes up from time to time, and with devastating effect. I just think you folks shouldn't be so actively suppressing that information. People have a right to know. Good grief, It's a risk every time you get in your car yet you do it daily. Seems so far you have survived. Thanks for the reminder Doc. I need to get my flu shot ASAP! He takes a risk every tine he ties a rope to his bed posts loops a slip knot around his neck and slides off the bed to Masturbate too....but I guarantee ge isn't gonna quit doing that

OK, now I understand.
I'm simply trying to discern whether the inoculation prevents the flu or just lessens the severity of the misery.
What I've learned from my own research,suggests it's more of a mitigation of the flu's severity, rather than a preventitive measure.
Not that any mitigation isn't welcome, of course.
For what it's worth, and maybe DR can answer this, maybe I really don't know the difference between a nuclear cold and the flu.

If you are exposed to the strain(s) against which you are inoculated, the vaccine SHOULD prevent you from contracting it at all. If not, or if it is a different strain, then mitigation of impact is highly likely.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

I can tell you what the Hong Kong Flu was like. It was a mother [bleep].
Thank God I was 18 and healthy, because I'm not so sure how well I'd do now if I was hit with something like that.

I had the flu one time. Three days in the bed with 103* fever, diarrhea, terrible body aches and little desire to survive. I don't remember it being anything like a cold and don't want it again.

Honk Kong Flu. I'm going to assume that's not what my buddy had after his trip to Bangkok... Again, no know vaccine, but penicillin kicked it.
