what’s flu? i don’t know! what’s flu with you?

so, i'm not saying it was the flu vaccine that did it, but it certainly was suspicious that i obtained flu like symptoms shortly after getting one this year... you try to be all good and get one to help not get one and sometimes it just goes ahead and gets you when you were just trying to get it to prevent it... does that make sense? no, well it does in my nyquil filled head! so, there... see, this is where i start my rant on the organized flu vaccine shortage as a way to promote getting a flu vaccine and/or to encourage drug makers to get into the vaccine business for when the bird flu comes along... oh, and don't even get me started on the bird flu... mostly because what i know would scare the shit out of you... and i just can't believe that it would necessarily be needed, but hey, what the hell do i know? i mean, i'm the guy who thought that the flu shot was safe... right?
