I asked the nurse at work about flu shots...she's totally for them. I am wary. She says it just builds your immunity year after year. I think we are making the flu strains that do survive stronger. I asked her how the bird flu was coming along ( I still think it's the same thing as Killer Bees) and it sounds like it's "still on its way" yet the current flu shot does not protect against it. They can't possibly cover all strains. I don't see the point.

I'm with 9th on this aspect: the very old, the sick. I never get one.
