In response to "The refusal to get one is that I simply don't want a flu shot. I know too many people who've gotten a flu shot and then gotten sick." by Jim

I'm with you Jim, I've never had one - never had the flu - so why start now? Mandatory? I'd laugh in their face -- nm

Yeah, I've never had the flu either. Now, if they had a vaccine for sinus infections, I'd be all over that shit. - Jim Nov 2, 07:25 15
- My wife was getting 1 or 2 a year before she used a neti pot and some nasal spray that an ENT perscribed her. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 2, 07:31 5
  - I might have to look into that. I get them all the time, but last year (well January of this year actually) was REALLY bad. -- nm - Jim Nov 2, 07:32 4
    - Her main problem was the swelling, which the nasal spray helps a lot. - Strongbad Nov 2, 07:37
    - I swear to you Jim, that the neti pot is the best ten bucks you can spend for that. - groiny Nov 2, 07:35 1
      - my wife swears by them too -- nm - Beaker Nov 2, 07:36
    - not related, but it's the best thing for my pollen allergies. I hardly even need to take claritin any more. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 07:34
- Have you considered sinus removal? -- nm - TFox Nov 2, 07:30 2
  - bastard doctors won't do it. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 07:31 1
    - That stinks! -- nm - Bacon Nov 2, 07:32
- amen to that! - groiny Nov 2, 07:26 5
  - do you do the neti pot as a preventative or when you start to feel sick? I have one I'm too chicken to use. - Diva Nov 2, 07:28 4
    - I use it twice a week for preventative, and if I happen to feel a little twinge - groiny Nov 2, 07:33 3
      - try sticking it up your nose this time. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 2, 07:34 2

You've never had polio either. Screw that vaccine! heh. ;) -- nm - Don Homer Nov 2, 07:23 4
- yes cause that is the same. Silly goose. hee. -- nm - Epiphany Nov 2, 07:26 2
  - he's right though. "I've never personally had it" is just silly. -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 07:27 1
    - I don't mess with stuff that is not broken - ya know? also I have anxiety about medical issues - Epiphany Nov 2, 07:34
- did you see Brian's link yesterday about the Waldorf school in California? Very few of the kids are vaccinated against anything. - loosilu Nov 2, 07:26
*makes a note to work on you* - loosilu Nov 2, 07:22 3
- under or above me? - Epiphany Nov 2, 07:23 2
  - should the people vote? -- nm - loosilu Nov 2, 07:23 1
