flu shot insanity

several weeks ago most people weren't worrying about flu shots too much. people were content to wait until the shots were available, lots of people didn't plan on getting the shot. then something happened.

it was announced that there were temporary shortages because the vaccine was being delayed a week or two. then all of a sudden everyone wanted a shot and they wanted it now. there were priority lists drawn up whereby those in high risk categories were placed at the top of the list. suddenly there were huge lineups at the clinics, people were arriving at 2:00 AM to get the shots and there were accusations of queue jumping. i called my doctor and was told to drop by and get the shot.

a few days ago it was announced that the calgary flames hockey team got flu shots. all hell broke loose. people were furious that the hockey players got flu shots.

FLU SHOT INSANITY

big feckin deal!

in my opinion it was no big deal that these guys got the shots.

these guys makes millions and pay millions in taxes. compare that with drug addicts that pay no taxes and are a huge drain on the system. these drug addicts are on the priority list for shots and people are fine with that. maybe i'm a heartless prick but i think people paying millions in taxes and generating millions in economic activity deserve more consideration than some feckin drug addicts or habitual welfare recipients.

in the past i did a few posts advocating sterilizing welfare recipients after a certain amount of time. it was not a popular idea. so it goes.

i wonder how russia is dispensing flu shots?



i love these russian sons of bitches.

There's a tape of a CFR conference call. They are talking about how to get more people to take the shot. One lady suggests faking a shortage, next thing you know, there's a shortage.

I'm not getting one, they are short of it here I guess.

Even those opposed to socialized medical care are seeking passports to Canada, ha ha ha.


I'm going to distill this alcoholic apple juice conglomeration I have here today, or blow something up, ha ha ha.

sage - better late than never.

yellowdog - sterilization would create lots of jobs too. the chinese would probably do it cheap.

secret - i wish canada had nose mist technology.

sling - the world needs more team players like you!

tex - excellent point!

bbc - i wish i could blow something up today. anything.

We finally got our first confirmed case of H1N1 here. I still haven't got the H1N1 shot and I am supposed to be high risk. Some bigwig at Citi Group must have gotten my shot.
The state health department will not even test people unless they are already in the hospital. Keeps the number of cases small.

bbc - impressive contraption. i think i saw the same thing on hogan's heroes. or it might have been gilligan's island.

mr wit - that sucks. i don't mind giving my shot to a hockey player but not to an investment banker.

Maybe, being as I invented it thousands of years ago. :-)

I only got my flu shot this year because I am at home all day with an infant. And I completely agree with all your points Billy. You nailed it once again. And I think Russia just hands out bottles of vodka instead of flu shots.
