If you have not had the flu shot please get it while it is still available.

40. No, because the Polio vaccination is undoubtedly extremely successful.

The worldwide reported cases of polio fell from over a third of a million to less than 2000 in twenty years because of the vaccine.

Compare that to the flu vaccines. The number of hospitalizations in USA has risen, whilst more than doubling the participation of the vaccine.

Diet pill consumption has gone through the roof, but America is the fattest nation on the planet and continues to get fatter. This is the problem - the observance of basic standards - when I was a kid, flu was a serious matter, you'd stay in bed until you were better. Not go to Walmart and see 500 different products that mean you can still go to work. You'd wash your hands before your hands touched any food products and after using the bathroom.

Look at how things have changed. I am not saying the flu vaccine doesn't have its place for those who are vulnerable, but come on, a flu shot for everyone in the nation! What does that tell you, that it is even being proposed? It isn't working.
