Where Jenny McCarthy is off is in saying that "vaccines cause autism" by painting with such broad strokes. It's reductive and incorrect. Are their increased levels of some mercury-based preservatives in some vaccines? Can mercury cause neurological damage? Yes. Does that mean that vaccines are bad, writ large? No. In fact, MMR vaccines are a great thing for children. The only caveat is for their to be proper quality control to ensure that there aren't increased levels of mercury-based preservatives.

Haven't had a flu shot in awhile, and I been pretty good.
Bwana pretty much nailed it. Take Vit. D and eating right, and you'll be fine.

Is it necessary that I drink my own urine? No, but I do it anyway, because it's sterile and I like the taste.

I never saw that episode, after seeing the piss-sack in fish's turtle massacre thread. I doubt i'd ever get that thirsty, i'd probably just die, or something.

Yeah.... that's a hell of a side effects....
I think I'll just stick with the H1N1 and fight it out by myself without any vaccine.

more likely you got the shot too late. If you get the virus a day after you get the shot, then the shot is useless. Thats another thing to add on to my cost-benefit post above.
(on that note, given that H1N1 is now running rampant, and an H1N1 shot only helps if you avoid the real thing for a week, then the value of an H1N1 shot is probably a lot less than it would have been a month ago)

If you arent around large groups of kids or sick people, you have better than a 50-50 chance of not getting the flu virus. Lets call it 60%
(0.60)^3 = 21.6%, so its not strange at all to miss the flu 3 years in a row. You cant get the flu from the shot, and not getting the shot doesnt make your immune system "better". Its a crapshoot that youll even get the virus at all.
