Interesting thing about the flu that maybe someone here can explain.

Viruses die without a host to pass the virus to another host etc. With what appears to be NO flu infections, shouldn't the flu now be eradicated via herd immunity? We masked, we washed, we sanitized and the flu had no ability to thrive. No flu host means no flu.

We should never see another case of flu in the world...but we will. Why?

Same here. The VA usually asks me every year if I want the flu shot. Nope...always makes me sick even though the quack..err...doc says it's unpossible. Bullshit.

Anyway, I get a letter in the mail stating the VA made an appointment for me to get the KungFlu shot and it was within a day or two. If I don't show up, I may be at risk of being labeled a no show and refusing treatment which could've ****ed with my benefits had I already not been rated 100%. I called the hotline and told them to cancel the appointment and not reschedule. Bitch on the end of the phone got indignant when she tried to explain the dangers of not getting it and I told her I don't trust the Xiden admin, the VA, or the rushed vaccine....and that I was also had only wore a mask for the two times I went to Universal Studios Orlando.

Interestingly, I got my second Shingrix a few days ago and it knocked the crap out of me. Reminded me of getting the Yellow Fever (can we say that any more?) vax in the service.

I got a letter from them telling me it was my patriotic duty, they needed me to fight for freedom again, this time against the WuFlu.

You mean like those Texas legislators who ran off and came back sick? Or like all those sheeple who submitted to the vaccine but are now catching the new variant anyway? You're going to have to clarify.

Haven't been sick, don't intend to get sick. It's about choices. Choose poorly and suffer.

You'll be okay bro. People from Louisiana are immune to all the cooties in the world, it's their diet.

I hear a lot of people who got the kungflu shot say they wish they didn't. A lot of people aren't returning for a second shot. I can't help but wonder if the people who died from the first shot were included in that statistic

that's pretty much the same letter I got (got two letters, actually...this bullshit and one for the appointment). Getting the shot is patriotic to this admin, but standing for the flag is not. They can eat bags and bags of dicks.

Both of my elderly parents got the 2nd shot and saay that was one of the stupidest things they have done in a while....besides that one time 43 years ago. It knocked both of them flat out for almost two weeks.

Wuflu vax wasn't an issue at all for me. I got the Pfizer X2 and had no reaction.

I got the shingles shot because after years of caring for Mom, knowing the end was in sight, I figured there was a good possibility I would get it, from the stress and anguish that most certainly did occur. The pharmacist who injected me warned me about all the side effects, but I really had none. I'm glad I got it.

Shingles vaccine. It comes in two doses. First didn't bother me at all. Got the second on Friday and the effects are still lingering.

Don't know if you youngins had to get the Yellow Fever vaccine, but I got mine back in the early 80's and it absolutely kicked my butt.

The normal flu infects and kills more people than kungflu. Why the overblown reaction? It's beyond strange.

The situation could be a very effective way to thin the population. Once the target number is injected simply release a catalyst (water/food/air) to activate the genes they've altered. Lights out for anyone who took the shot. Guess we'll see what their end game is. Not saying this is the situation, but a possibility, and even if it doesn't exist now there's nothing to prevent development in the future.

Lots of chatter about the coinciding 5G hard push.
