It is against strains it doesn’t guard agaisnt.

Which are most strains. The Flu shot is just an educated guess on the top 3-4

You shouldn't be getting the flu 4 years in a row even without a flu shot

So?

His story isn't credible.

Thinks getting sick equals the flu.

Makes assumptions about strangers.

SandYFan

1/21/19 10:21am

You know you are doing the same? Right?

Baron

1/21/19 10:26am

Nope your post clearly stated you made an assumption about a stranger.

SandYFan

1/21/19 10:27am

Actually, you assume he is a stranger and assume I’m making

Baron

Nope. I know you don't know the_byu_flash from Adam.

SandYFan

1/21/19 10:28am

You don’t. You are making an assumption based on likelihood of me knowing him. Just like I did in my post.

Baron

1/21/19 10:29am

I do. Are you telling me you DO know this guy?

SandYFan

1/21/19 10:30am

You know based on what?

“Gee if I get this flu shot this means that I can’t get sick at all the whole winter!”

Snarks about strangers and creates strawmen for them. Come on, man.

SandYFan

1/21/19 10:23am

I don’t create straw men, I create factual statements.

Virginia Ute

1/21/19 10:32am

Do you know what a strawman is?

SandYFan

1/21/19 10:33am

Of course. I know just about everything.

I'd prefer we treat each other nicely here.

Here’s evidence of that not being true:

Cool, bro.

Ugh, not this again.

nah, sounds like you just want the government injecting nanorobots into our bodies under the guise of the flu shot.

No you haven’t.

TCuz

I get the flu a lot less by following these principles...

I really wish the church custom of shaking everyone’s hand would go away.

I would go to the restroom and wash them there ASAP. Before you leave.
