The fact of the matter is, you have to die sometime. And of something.
So
it might as well be flu or yb or something like that rather than failed
kidneys, malingering cancer, or any number of other unpleasant ways to
go....life is a cycle...you live and then you die...get over it....you
too,
will die...nothing you can do about it....

Actually, that's not completely true... well, I suppose eventually,
but we're on the cusp of being able to extend life quite a bit.

Again, this seems rather cold-blooded. Is that how you want to die, of
the flu or some other preventable disease? Personally, I'd rather live
a long life and die in my sleep. There's a lot I can do about not
dying from something that's preventable. I think I'll keep trying.

Whatever. The point is that innoculating people agaist the flu is a
very good idea. We normally lose 36K or so people every year to
it. Some people are at higher risk that others, but some flu strains
are deadly to even normally healthy people. We're lucky that this year
is a mild season. What if it had been a bad one, ala 1918, and Bush
had failed to follow up on the advice he was given to do something to
ensure the supply? Instead of a few extra deaths, we might have a few
tens of thousands of extra deaths. Bush did nothing.

No...injecting foreign substances into your body that you do not need is not
a good idea when it comes to viri. They mutate too fast in in ways that are
too complicated to keep up with new technology.

Katy, the vaccines are a dead virus. Do you have any idea what you're
talking about??
If you had said the inhaled version, then at least you'd have an argument.

You misread....I know they inject dead virus samples....however, the virus
you are trying to protect against mutates too fast for that to be
efficacious for any period of time.

It's good enough for the CDC to recommend it.
