Wouldn't you have thought that Gary North, aka Captain Preparation, would have gotten a flu shot?

I heard the flu first struck West, then East. Now North. Look out South!

Sounds like a case of Y2Flu to me!

OH, my, my, my! Apparently this flu affects your spelling.

Hey, Aunt Bee, I say tomato, he say tomatto, let's call the whole thing off.

This year's flu shot didn't help me for squat.

I got the flu over Christmas and missed a full week of work after New Year's. And being a contracted engineer at my employer means I missed an entire week's pay because of the flu. Gary and Cory Hamasaki both have my sympathies over their encounters with the flu this year.

Gary North claimed he got the flu shot (not gonna waste my time finding the link). My iffy memory would guess sometime in Oct./Nov. I remember it well because he was recommending we all get a shot. Never did . . . so far I've dodged it (while it ravages my co-workers).

I got the shot; my temperature is 101.3 right now, regular for me is 96.4. Looks like the folks who got the shot are the suckers this year! NEVER AGAIN!!!

I know the flu sucks and I know that many who get the shot still get the flu. I got the shot this year and I have dodged the flu, but am now recovering from the worst strep throat anyone can imagine.

Howard Hughes may have had the right idea. I might start wearing a mask everywhere I go.

See the recent Chemtrails Article thread for a discussion of the possibility that these are spreading illnesses as part of a deliberate plan to "cull the herd." Earlier such discussions brought up the idea of a one-two punch. In mid-November I speculated that there could be some interaction between chemtrails and the flu shot.
