Okay that is an excellent scientific reason [herd-immuniity] to help with the Fairfield meditating community and the Dome numbers. But, is there really a significant good scientific reason to not get flu shots? [Some people claim we are getting over-shot and it screws up the immune system giving rise to so many modern hyper immune system malfunctions.] Give flu shots anyway to everyone going to the Domes to help keep the aggregate Dome meditation numbers high as they can Be? -Buck, stuck at home meditating.

Get one if you like, from an accredited place. I worked for a company once that offered us all the flu shot (many years ago when it was *really in vogue* to get one), and I was one of the employees that took them up on it. Came to find out, that the guy was a huckster and that was his Christmas con. He was featured in the paper and on the news and that is how us employees found out. I never did find out what he shot us up with, but it must have been safe. I haven't had a flu shot since :). ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <fairfieldlife@yahoogroups.com> wrote: So, what is wrong with getting flu shots? -Buck
