    I know that people think I’m insane and that’s OK but flu shots help prevent the same sort of illness that killed millions back in 1917 till about  1920.

      I used to think getting the flu shot was pointless and got at least a little sick every year. Then I started preaching about how we have to get the covid shot and felt like a hypocrite so I started getting the flu shot with my covid booster every year. I haven’t gotten sick since. It works and it’s so easy to get! For now…

        This is the first year in many that I actually got the flu, and it sucked. Yearly shots and all, this is just a rough year, and of course it’s the year that we abandon it all.

      lol wow. I’m gonna have to plan a trip north of the border to get my fucking flu vaccine? Holy shit.

      Edit: not sarcastic. I would do that, particularly in the context of “the entire country isn’t vaccinated”
