    I am a firm believer in this, I practice good hygeine but I see people pushing open doors with their elbow because they don't want to touch the door handle, or holding a paper towel when they open the door so not to have contact with it. I believe the immune system is a use it or loose it type deal if you know what I mean, however its been about 43 years since I had a good mud pie

    It needs to be scheduled.

    Firm belief in fables could put you in your grave. The bugs of yesteryear have morphed. The body now has no natural immunity to the superbugs.

    Probably due to us over drugging ourselves over the years.

    Heed this waring. A pandemic is past due. It is only a matter of time.

    I never got a flu shot until about ten years ago when I contacted the flu...I missed a week of work and was under the weatehr for four more...

    I offer the flu shot to all my employees at company expense...no fine print. If they want it fine and if they don't fine...it is a personal choice...I personally hope I never have it again...

    I skip flu shots. No proof they work yet.

    The Flu shots they give now days is a dead virus, but the flu mist that the military has us snort is a live virus. We don't have a choice in the matter you got to be over 45 to take the shot so I've got a few more years of the mist ahead.
