I'm at the library and can't watch it, but that's fucked if there is a true correlation.  I personally don't believe in flu shots (for myself), but can certainly see why some would want them.  What fucking gets me though is the goddamn anti-vaccination people.  Whatever, probably not my kid who dies of whooping cough.  Unless, however, it is my kid because he or she is too young to get the vaccination is exposed to it by some anti-vax's kid who shouldn't have it in the first place.  It's really just the junk science that gets to me so much.

The H1N1 "vaccine" has been linked with nerve agents specifically the one developed by Baxter pharmaceuticals. I thought that was all over the news last month or something.

I never really understood why people take the flu shot.. I've never had one.

I'm not anti-vaccination in general, but I'm definitely anti-flu shot.  Bunch of crap.

1 in a million chance of that happening, according to the story.  I think that's longer odds than dying on the spot from anesthesia during an operation.  You may as well live in fear of getting hit by a meteor.  What are the odds of catching H1N1 now?

I eat the hearts of my enemies to gain their strength.  It's kinda the same thing.

I'd say it's even more rare than 1 in a million.

I used to be kind of anti-vaccination. But now that I work in a hospital and have some direct contact to patients. I'm required to be. I got vaccinated for the flu, and H1N1 a few weeks ago.

You have the strength of nearly 30 children. Entire playgrounds run in fear...

Edit: But in your defense, most of the little bastards are armed with sticks and crude slingshots. While not dangerous to the average person, your petite frame and small muscles are particularly suspect to their little blows. So it's quite a feat.

My soon to be a doctor, and all round genius sister says it probably had nothing to do with the vaccine, and it was likely that it was something that was going to happen to her anyway.
