5 bucks says you will be sick in under 4 weeks.

I have never got one and never will.

I like building up my own immune system natrually. The only time I really needed meds was when I used to get strep throat. I rarely get colds, the flu or any sort of sickness. Never even had any sort of food poisoning and I have had every kind of raw meat and any other kinds of non cooked or undercooked food you can think of. (Knocking on wood right now) The only thing thats put me down during the year is a stupid migraine with Auras. That sucks and I wish I was not around sometimes when they happen, worst pain in the world for a day or two.

Wife asked me if I wanted one just the other day, she has been a little irritated with me of late, so think I am gonna pass too. lol.

Seriously though when I have had the flu shots I have not noticed any difference whatsoever in whether I got sick and how bad I got. Think Ben and Steve have it right on letting the bodies immune system do what it is intended to.

Far as the h1n1, thought it ran through last year, is the cdc really thinking that people have not already been exposed enough to it to have natural immunity? Seems a money making venture for pharmaceuticals, but that is just my 2 cents fwliw.

I very seldom get much more than a cold symptom since I started getting them the last 6 years or so..not crazy about the H1N1 in there

I've gotten the flu shot for the past 4 years and haven't been sick at all. *knocks on wood* Before I started getting them, I was sick ALL the time.

I guess it's different for different people.....

Yup, I've gotten them since nursing school and have not been sick at all....

People react differently, works for some, doesn't for others. I have heard of people getting sick after their flu shot so I don't doubt it at all.

For the rest of you, can't bash something you haven't tried,lol:flex::wacko:

I've never had it and I'll never get it. I let my immune system take care of it. I must have a darn good immune system, I'm hardly ever sick, other than a cold maybe once a year. My theory is the people who get sick all the time are the people who walk around with a bottle of hand sanitizer in their back pocket and wash their hands after touching anything. The immune system can't build any immunity up and they get sick all the time!
