        Water is toxic. Your statement that there is “no safe level” of the mercury found in vaccines is flat out wrong - learn some damn chemistry.

        Being in the medical field I would, from an educated viewpoint, advise getting it. However, having said that, they missed the strain last season. Wouldn’t have made a difference, likely. Either way it’s an inactive, benign vaccine. Just get the damned thing.

        Exactly. They're free with most insurances and around $20 at places like Walgreens or CVS.

        I did. I still think the headline lacks class. It’s the kind of fear mongering wordsmithing that used to be strictly the province of local news. I guess it’s hard out there for a pimp.

        It's a totally factual headline. Last year, coma from flu. This year, getting the shot.

        I'm not questioning its voracity, rather its style. There are a million ways to write about the flu vaccine. They chose a fear-mongering approach. Imagine this: Science Shows Flu Vaccine Saves Millions of Lives Every Year but Misinformation Spreads About Efficacy.

        But I get it. That's boring. But NPR is supposed to be boring IMO. Boring is trusted.

        You put a tiny inactive amount in so your immune system can learn about it and fight it off should it ever come into contact with the live virus. Think of it as running everyday to build up stamina. Sure, running drains your stamina, but even after just a few days you’ll be able
