I plan on getting the shot this week.

There have been several cases in my area of young, healthy, fit, active people with no preexisting health conditions dying within two days of arriving at the hospital. Almost a third of all confirmed cases required hopitalisation. This is NOT a normal flu.

I have family members who work in health care. They're actually more scared about it than anything I've heard on the news...they see a lot, and they see how sick people are getting.

Are the odds pretty good that you WON'T die of it? Sure...but if YOU survive you can easily pass it on to someone else who might die.

The whole point of vaccines is not to save YOUR butt, it's to keep those around you safe.
