this year around here, they can't give'm away. Even have talking heads on radio saying how safe the shots are.

Don't know about the Dems ------fact is I will never get another flu vaccination in my life. Major reaction and still not out of the woods on the reaction------shot on Monday.

Because I work with kids and have asthma, I have gotten flu shots for the past three years. Nothing has ever happened. Either you are allergic to the ingredients [the supermarket where I go asks ahead of time if I am allergic to any of the ingredients], or coincidently you were coming down with a cold just before you got the shot. While its possible you had a bad batch, the chances are fairly low for that happening.

As for the Dems taking the blame.......the current batch of shots was started last spring/early summer. It takes 4-6 months for the vaccine to mature in chicken eggs.

I've gotten a flu shot every year since they've been available with no problems whatsoever. And haven't gotten the flu!
