I'm not getting it. I've never gotten a flu shot (excluding when they were manditory in elemtary school & such), and I've honestly never suffered from the flu for as long as I can remember. I have bad sinuses so I get sinus infections about once per year, but the flu doesn't touch me. After everything I've read about big pharma cashing in on this H1N1 bullshit, I'm not even considering putting that virus into my body, so-called vaccine or not. If you're afraid of the flu and feel protected by these shots, feel free. Otherwise, you're just putting a deadly virus into your body to go up against your immune system for no reason other than deepening big pharma's pockets. Even if there isn't a money making conspiracy behind it, it's senseless in my opinion. It's a rare occurance as it stands, and opting to have the virus put into your system by choice is probably not a great idea, and probably creates a higher risk of infection anyhow. It's a known fact that many people die from vaccinations when they weren't even sure that they would have gotten the flu to begin with, let alone died from it if they did. They call it caution, I call it stupid. Humans often make mistakes, nature doesn't. Just my 2c.
