I got my tracking chip today.

Nah. I don't sweat it for the little stuff.

Mine was yesterday morning. I should receive my tinfoil armband in the mail by Monday.

Imagine that you are hired to build a bridge over a river which gets slightly wider every day; sometimes it shrinks but nobody can predict when. Your client provides no concrete or steel, only timber and cut stone (but they won't tell you what kind). The coefficient of gravity changes randomly from hour to hour, as does the viscosity of air. Your only tools are a hacksaw, a chainsaw, a rubber mallet, and a length of rope. Welcome to my world. -Me explaining my job to an engineer

I have had two flu shots in my life. Both of which gave me a fever of over 104. I have never gotten a shot since and I have never been sick since.

I have a very strong feeling based admittedly on circumstantial evidence that flu shots do nothing but make you sick for a couple of days and still don't deter you from getting the flu. Also I've read that the time frame between making this years vaccine and when the flu season hits allows plenty of time for the flu to mutate into a strain unrecognizable by your immune system anyway.

You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Seriously, what's the flu shot for? How old are you? I've never had a flu shot nor have I had the flu in the last 10 years.

I didn't get any requirements for the signature

Basically with all living things, viruses, bacteria, our own body cells, have a layer of protein structures around them, that is how our body can fight them by identifying the proteins and taking the required action. However, with the flu virus it can change the proteins. So this means our body and injections cant always get rid of it so easy because there are so many strains of the flu, and the protein layer is changing all of the time, so flu injections are more effort than there worth! :)

My personal statistics tell a different story. I've been getting a flu shot every year for the last twenty or so. The years I get the shot, I don't get the flu. The two or three years where I missed, I got the flu (one year I got it twice X|).

I think they're supposed to work that way. They're drugs, so once you're off them you get the hibbie jibbies. When you get back on drugs, the hibbie jibbies go away. Maybe if you hadn't started taking them in the first place, you'd be just as good as you were if you had to take them. Because of a condition I have I think I skipped the flu shots they gave in school and I don't remember taking any since then (I don't visit the doctor much), but I'm doing fine. I do get the occasional flu when season changes from cold to warm or vice-versa, but after a big bowl of Mom's noodle soup, I'm back in business in record time, and most of the time a good coat is way better than a pill.

I'm 42, and until the last few years, I hardly ever got sick. Then I started getting colds. I just had a 16-day cold, and felt my immune system could use help. I really don't want to go through a flu.
