Don’t wash their hands.....you ever see a bathroom thread on here? You’ve just described a huge portion of the OT based off those threads

“My junk is clean, why would I need to wash my hands after going to the bathroom?”

So What are my chances of dying or killing someone living on the edge as I choose to do? 20% or so?

I'm sure if there was an AIDS vaccine, you'd dutifully line up for it every year.

Seriously though, with the multiple variations of flu, the chances of the vax matching the one I come across are what? 25% 50% So I've never had in in 40 years and people think that every year I should take hours out of my day and pay money to possibly feel like shite after getting injected with something that may or may not match the virus that has never affected me.


Hard pass.

Aids?

No I wouldn't because it is only contracted by those with risky behaviors. I do not, so there is no need.

With the flu you are at the mercy of others.

Big difference

Yep

75% of Flu cases don't show symptoms. Of the other 1/4, the vast majority are a minor nuisance. Unless you're already immunocompromised there is basically nothing to worry about.

AIDS will kill your arse.

Y'all got me curious and I found a study that suggests that kids that get flu-vaccinated every year miss out on heterosubtypic immunity that comes with live virus infection. Basically, getting a common A flu would cause them to build immunity to other types of A and would help when a fatal version of A comes along. When it works, the Vaccine doesn't give them this type of immunity (only specific to the strain they were vaccinated for) leaving them at greater risk for severe outcomes during a pandemic.

Doesn't matter to me either way, because I either don't get the flu or (hopefully) get it and show no symptoms. Unlike your wreck argument, we are all around the virus multiple times each year if we spend any time out in public. You may have never been in a wreck, but I've come into contact with the flu thousands of times.

I've also gotten the flu one time, the same year. Never again.


What is your method for never getting the flu again? Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, I know. I gave the shot to all of my staff this week and everyone has said they feel like crap.


Yet if you had told them you were giving them vitamin B12 shots they all would have said how great they felt
