Clean Up on Aisle 3

I am a bit confused on the whole flu shot scare. Isn't the flu shot a relatively new inoculation that really isn't necessary unless you are two or eighty? Then why are people all of the sudden spazing out over not being able to get one. I have never had a flu shot and rarely ever get the flu. I have found Vitamin C, a decent diet, not having any snot nosed kids, and a little bit of exercise keeps me in tip-top health. Can someone explain this to me. Get a backbone people and suck it up. You don't need that damn flu shot anyway. Wusses! Right, I get it. It is a more virulent strain and mutating viruses can be nasty little buggers but this is not the first time the flu has mutated and we have all managed to get through it. Now the bird flu....that's something to be concerned over. Not that people are very likely to contract it but when they do...we are talking epidemic. Now all of you passing out from exhaustion or waiting in drive thru flu shot lines....GO HOME. I can't even get my Hepatitis A booster for my work in the Philippines because you healthy, strapping, youngsters are clogging up the health department. By the way, I am going to the Philippines in December!
