Wacka Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 my answer is that if a pandemic hits we may well be ill prepared or at the very least, less prepared than we otherwise could have been. You as much as anyone should know that the strains for the flu vaccine are decided on in the late winter, so that they can be manufactured by the flu season. It is mostly privately financed. If old people can't afford it , Medicare should cover it. Besides , the shot is cheap. I'm in my mid 50s and of the age where I should get a shot. I went to CVS and got one last month for $15 and got a 20% off coupon for CVS. Face it, Obama is the worst President we've ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 We are worried about the flu and CDC and bs like that over much other more important things? My that must be the life. To be honest, if we lose a few nuts from the tree I am OK with that. Its a crowded tree. Anyone who can't treat a flu is a Darwin award candidate.

Does the phrase shall not be questioned mean the same thing as shall not be infringed? As in.. A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Because if it does, the precedent has been set by Gun Controlfreaks on how to circumvent a Constitutional Amendment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing no one's questioning it. People are suggesting not PAYING it...but no one's questioning it. i've been to the cdc site several times since looking for info on infectious disease trends like pertussis and flu. there's a big disclaimer stating data is not up to date.

boyst Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 from your response it appears you've been personally affected by the slowdown, obviously in a more profound way than access to information... precisely what miner was attempting to prove irrelevant.... Not really. To be honest, I do not care about the shut down. The shut down has done nothing to directly change my life at this time and it will not likely affect my life going forward. Maybe I am narrow minded, but it just goes along with the territory. The world could be flat and it would not mean much to me. You using the CDC as an example is pathetic. You worry about the flu? Walgreens has a flu tracker, WeatherChannel has a flu tracker. The whooping cough - well, guess your SOL. Hope you're a prepper, because it sounds like all hell is breaking loose in your life.
