I actually get them non seasonally; much cheaper.

#151 6 years ago
Quoted from Puffdanny:

20 years ago you never even heard of a flu shot and now if you don't get it you're going to die?

Shit changes, 25 years ago you probably where spending half your day picking seeds out of your Mexican brick weed!

#155 6 years ago
Quoted from swillie:

NOPE. Man has walked the earth and survived/thrived for 6 million years, modern man for 200,000 years.

Damn straight....they didn't need to pussy ass plague vaccines. Or tetanus, diphtheria. Or hepititis...or um goddamn Polio.
Chicken Pox or measles..none of that garbage. I mean Whats the worst the Flu has ever killed...like 80-100 million people in a year; Pathetic!

Quoted from Puffdanny:

I've always had the CHRONIC that's why I'm called Puff Danny

I am from Ann Arbor and I can tell you you didn't have the kind before 1990 friend.

#197 6 years ago
Quoted from High_End_Pins:

I have a 17 year old son that is both severely autistic and Type 1 diabetic....

My friend tried to explain this to me and I didn't really understand it till I had a baby and they say "OK we're gonna vacinate now...and there is a small chance she'll die."

That's some shit that makes you think.

#235 6 years ago
Quoted from Wickerman2:

Some people on this site are wayout there in terms of scientific knowledge and conspiracy theories.

As always when talking aboot "real" topics you have to remember you're audience. We all know pinball people are total nutjobs and half of them have the reefer madness/paranoia so this isn't a surprise; or shouldn't be.
More schooling might help too but they have conspiracies aboot "book learnings" as well.

#239 6 years ago
Quoted from jgentry:

There are lots of places in the world that are still living this natural approach dream that some of you seem to want. You can always go check them out and see for yourself how it's working.

Bro I ain't going there...places are riddled with withcraft.

#247 6 years ago
Quoted from wayout440:

To a certain degree, yes. There's certainly a time and place for medicine.

baby steps

#251 6 years ago
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

The tournament isn't important if you risk other people's health.

Speak for yourself!

#265 6 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

If it is anything but once, I guess I am a moron and all those times I got cut by rusty auto parts in the 30 years I worked on them are sure to do me in eventually.

Quoted from o-din:

Like them saying after you cut yourself with something rusty a vaccination will do you any good.

Whoa whoa calm down...no one called you a moron. You're just a guy that thinks rust gives you tetanus that's all.

I mean hey you can quote song lyrics online...that's pretty intelligent

#276 6 years ago
Quoted from fosaisu:

- It's the cow shit on that old nail you need to worry about, not the rust (despite what they told you in school)

Well that's not what the guy at WalMart shooting him up with a tracking chip said.

#302 6 years ago
Quoted from Oneangrymo:

Since we are talking about vaccinations.. just make sure you are vaccinated for hepatitis before you get those "street" tacos my man.

Only wimps get heptitias.

#305 6 years ago
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:

I know you are trolling now, come on man. Might as well say "I'm not hungry, therefore hunger doesn't exist."

Are you not paying attention? If you're not hungry you're not fat, and if you're not fat you don't need a flu shot, that is only gotten by fat people.

Keep up man.

#311 6 years ago
Quoted from Puffdanny:

Everyone in Southeast Michigan is getting hepatitis from Tim Hortons.

Actually I got mine the old fashioned way, by banging Pamela Anderson.

#313 6 years ago
Quoted from jgentry:

Liar, you got yours from Kidd Rock who got his from Pamela Anderson.

What Bob & I do on our own time is our business sir!

#389 6 years ago
Quoted from Russell:

It’s also different from viral gastroenteritis “stomach flu.”

Next you'll be telling us you can't start a heart with a defibrillator!

Quoted from fosaisu:

Are you going all Denzel from Training Day on us now? Must be getting close to quitting time on a Friday!

No just the super old "sheeple" angle.

#399 6 years ago

You should reconsider the Cure's "Faith" album; very underrated.

#417 6 years ago
Quoted from fosaisu:

Thumbs up for linking to “cowboytocowboy.com” - i figured it would be a Brokeback Mountain themed dating site, ...

Ah ya you're thinking "cowboy2cowboy.com. Give me a holla @ RodeoRob69

Quoted from chad:

what is there to worry??

Rampant stupidity

#481 5 years ago
Quoted from pinkid:

Absolutely not. Not going to the doc unless I have to

This is always a good one.

#487 5 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

Instead of telling people what to do and calling them names or trying to lay some guilt trip on them, have you ever considered asking nicely? Might at least sway some to your way of thinking.

There's no point, and really there's no point trying to convince people which is why I don't.
If you're stupid enough to be in the conspiracy camp, than nothing is going to pull you out. I mean other than when you finally go to the doctor and realize you have a blood infection and they cut off your leg.

#492 5 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

I'm not a conspiracist.
Just a dude that won't be getting a flu shot.

Yes I know.

#499 5 years ago
Quoted from Astropin:

wait...I bought some gold and got a flu shot...now what?

Sell the gold and buy node boards man!

#501 5 years ago
Quoted from CrazyLevi:

...t's embraced by both far right nutjobs AND far left nutjobs.

Please can you not talk aboot nuts my daughter is allergic.

ALLEGEDLY it has nothing to do with her being vaccinated..ya right

#511 5 years ago
Quoted from jgentry:

How many people think that O-din would be adamantly fighting for flu shots if everyone else was against them?

Sounds aboot right

#514 5 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

Yes, that's what brought me back to this wonderful thread.

Let's face it, you come back here because they've booted you out of most corners of Pinside. If a Mod dies of the flu you're toast!

#520 5 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

...and I'm guessing the majority of the world's population doesn't. So opposite of what?

Finally some intelligent ideas

#647 5 years ago
Quoted from WolfManCat:

Is there a vaccine for those afflicted by always having to have the last word?

Probably, but no one in this fucking thread knows aboot it.

BAM!

#681 5 years ago

Uff, not a good shot this year guys. I got the shot, shoulder hurt a shit ton but 5hats kind of standard. The next couple days i felt woozy and cold and went to the doctor demanding more tests; turns out it gave me AIDS.
9/11, NEVER FORGET.

#686 5 years ago
Quoted from hAbO:

After getting a half sleeve of tattoos its not even comparable.

Man try getting your crotch lasered for like 12 sessions.

#689 5 years ago
Quoted from hAbO:

I sense there is a story to this

Not really... Just a lit of bur in flesh and pain. Like a tattoo it's all worth it after.

#725 5 years ago
Quoted from fosaisu:

So if your mother already had the flu....

How aboot the obvious fact she didn't? How aboot the fact people still think the flu is a cold. How aboot the old 24 hour flu, is there a vaccine for that?

#727 5 years ago
Quoted from fosaisu:

If you waded through my post, I eventually got around to this possibility in sentence four!

TL DR!!!!

I just go straight to that one now. "Oh my god my anus was on fire I had the 24 hour flu after eating bad sushi!"

But what happens when the government sends our troops in as the actual folks that will have to forcefully vaccinate you...will you still thank them for their service?

#791 4 years ago

Can at least we all agree on coming up with a Chlamydia vaccine? This shit is back guys and it's pissed.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

Uhm . . . 2nd Amendment?

So you're threatening to murder our proud service men and women?

Unexpected turn

#794 4 years ago
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

Monogamy or Celibacy - you decide

Well there's a good chance there's probably a wife or 2 getting some strange whilst these nerds are at league night or doing a PF swap.

#805 4 years ago
Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

, I have no doubt that there would be an uprising of citizenry to fight against it.

Oh for sure they would. Luckily the Government usually goes pretty easy on armed militias.

#852 4 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

I'm 57 and still haven't ever had my rectum probed.

This is the saddest post i think I've ever read on here.

#882 4 years ago
Quoted from Rager170:

But why get a vaccine for something that wont kill you?

Top 3 dumbest things typed in this thread...which is pretty impressive really

#889 4 years ago
Quoted from Rager170:

lol, if you say so but to me, getting a vaccine for something that wont kill you or permanently hurt you is stupid to me...

So you wouldn't get a vaccine for herpes or HPV if you could? Or measles so your face doesn't end up pot marked? Or polio so you don't end up crippled?

#939 4 years ago
Quoted from zr11990:

Americans want a pill to solve their problems. They have a headache, they take a pill even though they are bad for their liver. .

I think everyone in the world wants a pill to make their problems go away.

For the headache one, they have something called ibuprofen that doesn't harm the liver.

EDIT: I will tell you that the thing 'Mercians love is the most is thinking that only 'Mericans love a bunch of shit the most.

#963 4 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

In honor of shedding, ...

What if Pinside got vaccinated so it couldn't "shed" you out of 90% of threads & topics?

#980 4 years ago
Quoted from RonSS:

Hey, you guys "herd" about that new hpv thing?
Better get all children immunized quickly!

As soon as mine is old enough.

#983 4 years ago
Quoted from RonSS:

I just worry about the urgency aspect. Seems as though we're led further and further without any discussion. What's worse is we are informed through a drug ad on tv.

Well I don't really get the "urgency" part of what you're saying, so let's put that aside.
Maybe you were informed by a TV commercial, but the vaccine has been used for over 10 years around the world. It's sort of like old news by now.

Quoted from RonSS:

Who pays for that ad I wonder? Besides the public I mean. Is it a WHO advertisement? Is it a Big Pharma buying the air time? Would be interesting to know.

Look at the bottom of the commercial and it will tell you the company that pays for the ad. It's a commercial, you don't have to wonder whom pays for a Coke commercial, Coke does. You don't have to wonder whom makes boner pill commercials, Pfizer does.
They have to try to get all the monies they can before the generic drugs come in.

#986 4 years ago
Quoted from fosaisu:

I assume he's asking why they want his 11 year old to get the HVP vaccine.

Oh if that's the case I don't know why they make them wait so long! I'd roll it right into the OG baby shots if possible.

#988 4 years ago
Quoted from zr11990:

If condoms are used HPV is not a problem.

You have a daughter and a grandaughter right? What happens if the bad men raped them? You'd want them protected from cancer.
I mean, I sure as shit do.

EDIT: Too "far out?" OK how aboot when your daughter's piece of shit husband cheated on her? What if she ended up getting cancer becasue that rat bastard went behind her back?

#1077 4 years ago

Well I got my flu shot yesterday, and my dad died of bladder cancer a couple weeks ago; I guess I'm supposed to believe these are not related?!

Now there’s a twist I did not see coming.

You didn't see it coming...from Sad Sack...an old school piece of shit?

Quoted from John_In_WI:

... to be totally honest, I've felt like crap ever since. Doubt I'll be doing one again.

Doubt you'll make it till next year!

Quoted from Who-Dey:

I know lots and lots of super intelligent people...

FFS, now I've heard it all.

Quoted from jgentry:

They are every bit as intelligent as the ones that claim the flu shot gave them the flu.

Man my arm was hurting for days after that shot...damn flu!

#1990 4 years ago
Quoted from o-din:

Gat a shot if you like, or don't if you don't. Plain and simple. I don't see the point in debating that.
