Letter on flu shots

wrote: To the Editor: Regarding "NC law on vaccinations should change, doctors agree. But they differ about how." (Dec 15), I believe that if we stop making flu shots altogether, we would help the urban traffic congestion issue, since a higher percentage of drivers would be home sick during flu season. It would also address the carrying capacity/population issue by shortening life spans by a few years. And since it would be an unselfish act, it would also address the main cause of conflict in the world, the undisciplined craving for more by political leaders everywhere, a selfishness gone wild, the same condition that afflicts alcoholics and addicts. The principle of unselfishness is mentioned in every sermon, in every house of worship, every day that services are held, but that obviously is not enough to reach all areas of society. We need more power, Captain! Remember Canherbis iis going to be legal in Canada next year. Maybe you need to have somne? Brian When you are presented with the subject of flu shots, you don't look at the big picture, you don't even know what the big picture is, and you don't /want/ to know! All you care about is that you don't have to get sick any more! |

I can see that it might be a good idea for healthcare professionals, as they are more likely to be exposed to it, and more needed to care for people with (serious) flu. (I hope the statisticians have worked this out.) -- Max Demian |

So I refused the offer I received recently. I've never bothered with flu jabs.

Flu can kill you, particularly if you are older. The common cold cant. (I hope the statisticians have worked this out.) |
