flu shots for congress but not for us
vwpalmer
dispensed about 2,000 flu shots to our legilsators and their employees
without requiring any proof that the recipients meet the CDC guidelines.
Nice to know that when the rest of us are sick as dogs, the Congress and
its creatures will be well-protected.

The only "shot" that can cure you is measured by caliber.

Kerry refused his.

So? I'm sure others did too. Does that make him a martyr?
KevinXKitchen
It makes him kind and considerate. Some of us are. He was not going to take a
shot and deny it to an elderly person or ill person that really needs it. Just
like in Vietnam, he didn't let somebody else go in his place.

normally get flu shots. I've never gotten one as an adult, & i have no
plans to start. It's about as big a concern to me as is getting hit by a
meteor. How many healthy teens/adults < 80yrs. need one?

would have noticed except that there was/is a media blitz about a
shortage.
Right in there with the toilet paper shortage of a few years ago.

I've never had one in my life (nor have I ever had the flu), nor has
my wife.
It's easy to program the common herd, as gov'ts and companies well know.
These people are too lazy/ignorant to assimilate facts and make their
own decisions, which makes their controllers smile.

the flu and was unable to work for 7 days and was moderately affected
for another 2 weeks afterward. Like this year, I was unable to get a
flu shot. At least 5 other people in the office where i worked were ill
and one ladt in her late 20s was hospitalised for pneumonia contracted
as a flu "add-on".

one, since kids are walking germ and virus labs. I don't think -most- do.
I have a difficult time believing that i am a rarity, the healthy adult who
doesn't get a shot. The media hype suggest that's the case, what a
disaster! Every few years, it's a killer flu, one that's going to overflow
emergency rooms...
the buzz about Clinton getting one is ridiculous, too. A middle-aged guy <2
mos. out of quadruple bypass surgery would be pretty near the top of my list
of those who need one. I think he needs one more than my 82-yr. old
grandmother, who is in terrific shape. Probably Cheney, too, since he is
pretty much a walking heart attack, though no problems in the immediate
past. Bush and Kerry should skip them if it's such a big deal.

Bush missed a good chance in the last debate. There was some crosstalk
despite the rules and if he had asked Kerry if he had gotten one then he
could have played it to his advantage whether Kerry answered yes or no.
