Flu Vaccine: Do it or not?

[Jackalope]

The simple test is this. Someone drops £100 on the pavement outside your house. If you'd go Fetch it, it's a cold. If you couldn't it's the flu.

When you put like that... I've never had the flu.

As bad as the flu was for me, it was nothing compared to the pneumonia that followed. Couldn't eat for nearly a week, couldn't sleep due to pleurisy, fever as high as 105F. Oh, and gasping for breath. I was so delerius from fever that I didn't realize how sick I was. My roommate and friends couldn't convince me to go to the hospital. By the time I did go to the hospital, had I not been treated, I surely would have died - and I say that without a hint of exaggeration.

Made the norovirus look like a walk in the park.
