I was self employed quite a bit and habitually got flu shots to avoid down time. I never thought about what I was actually doing, in terms of down-side risk. (And also whether there even was an up-side, statistically.) Then I had a bad reaction to a flu shot in 2003. That's the last flu shot I'll ever get.

It might be worth the risk if there were a serious killer virus running wild, but it's just looking worse and worse from every angle. I only had that one flu shot and I was down for two weeks. Granted I wasn't in great shape to start with, and the doctor insisted it would have been worse if I'd gotten the full-on flu, but, well, my arm swelled up and turned black near where I got the shot, waking me up whenever I rolled over on it in my sleep, and I felt like total crap for too long. That would be better than dying of some seriously uncomfortable illness, but not if it's only to prevent feeling like shit for a few days from something your system can fight off itself.

IT DOESN'T HELP THAT THEY'RE POISONING US WITH OUR FOOD AND MAKING US LESS ABLE TO MUSTER THE IMMUNITY AGAINST THIS STUFF.

I swear, sometimes I'm just positive I was mowed down by a bread truck sometime in 2000 and I'm in a coma somewhere... this is all just a bad dream.

The WHO said it would stop giving figures on the numbers infected by the A(H1N1) virus to allow countries to channel resources into close monitoring of unexpected developments and patterns in the spread of the disease.

Huh?

You know, this Information Age stuff is getting creepy. We might better be calling it the DISinformation Age.

You have to work yer butt off to get down to something like reality, verify everything 18 ways to Sunday, and don't forget most of the sources you find are all copying each other and so that doesn't amount to verification of bubkes.

I was getting the good information when this started, but the pretty quickly shut down the good sources and my head is going to explode.

None of this would be so bad if we didn't know these guys are psychopaths who will do ANYTHING for power and profit. Then you could at least have a morality yardstick on which to make assessments at least, but nooooooooo....

:mad:

Just to be clear, I'm still having problems six years after. Obviously, I'm an outlier, "but, punk*, do you feel lucky?"

@joely

* I wanted to redact "punk." but my inner editor bridled at the thought: "No, you'll lose fidelity to Dirty Harry if you do that."

Dude! That so totally SUCKS!

OMG! I harking back to the fuckers who would come on to dis Bobby Kennedy for the vaccination/autism connection every single time we made mention of him in a post. Turns out he was right and telling it true all along... of COURSE... but the goddam harpy trolls are sitting in their cubicles at the shill mills getting paid a nickel a post for trying to sew doubt about this stuff in people's minds. There are people out there who are grievously hurt by this stuff, grievously DEAD by this stuff... not just people like me who merely got a worse flu and a scary arm for a little while.

Are you going to be okay? I hope you will be okay.

I think he said, "Do you feel lucky, punk? Well do ya?" Didn't he? :-P

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.

The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that isn't so.
—Ronald Reagan

Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.
—Martin Luther King

We're all fucked. I'm fucked. You're fucked. The whole department is fucked. It's the biggest cock-up ever. We're all completely fucked.

Anyone calling Obama a leftist, liberal, or progressive needs to have the stupid beat out of them.
—Old Uncle Dave

As for the Taliban ... their stated grievance is the same as Gen. Washington’s in our war with the British: If you want this war to end, get out of our country.
—Pat Buchanan

Obama-era drone warfare ... in general looks like Bush-era drone warfare on steroids.
—Scott Horton

There has to be altruism in the universe.
—Frank Drake

The morons in Washington are pushing the envelope of nuclear war. The insane drive for American hegemony threatens life on earth. The American people, by accepting the lies and deceptions of “their” government, are facilitating this outcome.
—Paul Craig Roberts

I am a child of the South. Janet Napolitano tells me I need to be afraid of people who are labeled white supremacists but I was raised around white supremacists. I am not afraid of white supremacists. I am concerned about my own government. The Patriot Act did not come from the white supremacists, it came from the White House and Congress. Citizens United did not come from white supremacists, it came from the Supreme Court.
—Cynthia McKinney

No one has to "marry" anyone else politically; no one has to embrace every tenet or belief that an anti-imperialist ally might hold. You simply have to say: "All of us, regardless of our other views, believe this truth to be self-evident: dismantling the empire will bring immediate and enormous benefits to our nation and to the world."
—Chris Floyd

The power of the people on top depends on the obedience of the people below.

—Matt Taibbi

· One out of seven American homeowners will probably lose their homes by the end of 2010.

· Only 4.7 percent of distressed homeowners who enrolled in the modification plan have gotten any help.

· Out of Obama's $75 billion program, only $2.3 million has been spent—or 0.03 percent.

Obama's performance on the foreclosure crisis—along with unemployment, the biggest problem America faces—makes Bush's laissez faire approach to Hurricane Katrina look caring and loving in comparison. If ever there were a cause for impeachment, look no further.
—Ted Rall

As self-appointed champions of civilisation against barbarism, they fail to see that a certain barbarism is the flipside of civilisation itself, inseparable from its smooth operation. For every cathedral, a pit of bones; for every artistic masterpiece, human wretchedness and back-breaking toil.
—Terry Eagleton

commenting kaos, sidebar krap, quotes

Here at home and throughout the world people are fighting back against the forces of wealth, privilege, and militarism — some because they have no choice, others because they would choose no other course but the one that leads to peace and justice.
