I think I’m going to stop getting the flu shot. I’ve had the flu shot three of the past four years and I’ve found that I’ve gotten sick just as often whether or not I got the shot. That’s not why I’m going to stop getting it. I’m not even going to stop getting it because I’m worried about the mercury level or that the government is trying to control my mind with the flu shot. The real problem is that doctors don’t seem to be getting the flu shot.

That bothers me. Not that I think it’s some sort of massive conspiracy, but just the fact that if medical professionals aren’t getting it, then why should I? If doctors are going to be promoting it, then they should be getting it. It’s like a celebrity promoting a product that they wouldn’t personally use: it just isn’t right. If you aren’t going to use it, don’t tell me to use it. The problem for me is that if they aren’t getting it, then they obviously believe that it isn’t worth their time, so why is it worth my time?
