We got the Hog-Flu vax when it got to GA finally. We were both mildly sick the next day, for about 48 hrs.

Since then we have avoided the growing all too common cycle of Panic Virus Vax's and just practiced common Flu environmental precautions.

Maybe Lucky, maybe just being more cautious.
But no infections from flu or etc... since 1978

#2 Wife & I both got that swine flu vaccine. I had a little soreness at the injection site for a few hours, same as with any other such shot. Wife was so sick she was afraid to go to sleep for fear she wouldn't wake up. (We believe my great grandmother died of the original 'Spanish' flu version.)

#3 expected to kill a million.

Big deal! The China Flu was going to kill 2.2 million Americans.

Our elitist betters have kept that down to about 600,000, so far. Trust the CDC! /sarc

#4 Hmmm, the 'off sarc' tag disappeared.

#5 ...My mother was about halfway through a 42-year career as an RN when this happened.

She refused to let us get it, swearing we'd never get it.

#6 My wife and I were 'sicker than dogs' with this flu and mostly down and in bed for about 2 weeks.

Of course the kids were just fine and still had to get to school.

NOTHING closed. Never did get the vaccine.

#7 the 'off sarc' tag disappeared.

I deleted the angle brackets, Bobby. When you put something inside angle brackets, the program thinks it’s something that it needs to execute, not just display.
