To ask about the complex issue of Swine Flu is not a 2 second response, neither is the discussion around health care today. Today everyone EXPECTS to get a prescription and that medicine or "compound" will quickly change the current status of the patient. Instead of listening to the Dr that your body needs rest and TIME we instead demand the quick fix. If the flu shot keeps you from getting the flu then you win. It only is a tiny dose giving your immune system a heads up on making the code for your platelets or white blood cells where ever it is stored. Over the past 10 years I am probably 33.333 % in getting it, or I was at a place where they were offering flu shots. The convenience of doing it there I did. Making an appointment to see a Dr. to get it I won't normally do. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer SQL Server DBA Web and Winform Development Independent Contractor Memphis TN 901.246-0159 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
