BLECCCCCCCCHHHHHHHH! NEVER!

And I haven't gotten the flu in years.

Seems like the vaccine is only a guess anyway. I don't see why they can't just snuff out the flu altogether. Doesn't it come from a specific region in China (not unlike SARS)?

And, FnF, I didn't think you could get the flu three times. Is that not how the vaccine works - you "get" the flu (even tho not really - just through dead viruses) and thus build up an immunity? Unless there are three diff flus each season, you're getting the flu and then two other things.
