    I’m always amused by people who rail on about antivaxers but when you ask them if they get flu shots they spout a bunch af anecdotal shit and ignore the fact that the flu is far more deadly than most any of the others we are taking about.

    I’m amused by that.

    Are we putting people who don't get flu shots in with anti vaxxers?

    Ive never had one I don't think. I was under the impression they aren't all that great or necessary. Or maybe I just never cared because I haven't had the flu since like 8 years old.

    Yes. Flu shots are a vaccine. The flu is more serious than the measles especially in terms of death. The same rules apply as the other diseases in terms or babies, people with band immune systems etc. 80,000 Americans died of the flu last flu season. But yeah, lets blow that off and lose our shit over 6 people dying from the measles in the last 10 years.

    I thought vaccines were like legit cures. Isn't a flu shot a half assed stab in the dark to maybe lower the chances


    Thanks for enlightening me. I'm gonna rush over and get one now.

    I had my flu shot how 'bout you @creepycoug ? But then being a pretend attorney you're already a virus spreading misery.

    Where did I say I was anti vax? I'm saying illegals who get to stroll in and are not checked for disease even if stopped by ICE are much more dangerous than anti vaxxers.

    Where did I say that you were antivax? I said you had a one-track mind.

    Keep up Lenny.

    No. They aren’t half ass stabs in the dark. Like I said, people (like you) amuse me.
