Nothing political about a flu shot. Just curious where CP stands on getting one this year.

I don't work in food service, and I don't wipe my ass with my bare hands.

There's a new invention called toilet paper that creates a nice buffer between your hands and your ass. You should try it, you can usually get it in any grocery store.

Dawg, come on..

You need to wash your hands after you've taken a shit. I mean, that's like bare minimum.

It's not so much about pissing/shitting on your hands as it is your junk being a warm moist place for germs, and spreading those germs after you've had your hands down there.

Just like how the flu shot isn't just about "never getting the flu", but potentially unknowingly spreading the flu by being one of the 70-80% of people who carry and spread it asymptotically.

So prophetic. Some of you need to watch this over and over until it sinks in.

"You know when I wash my hands? When I shit on them."

I do get most advice from comedians who exaggerated things for laughs, but also spend 20 seconds washing my hands a few times/day, too, given how things actually work.

Don't know, last time I think I had one was almost 10 years ago.. It's odd my wife won't take medicine when she's sick and usually won't give it to our son unless she feels its truly necessary (luckily she's a Head/Supervisor RN so I give her the benefit of the doubt).

Only when they offer a free slice of pizza with the shot

Got the Pfizer bivalent (3X Moderna before this) and the flu shot yesterday, one in each arm. Both arms got sore pretty quickly last night and both are pretty sore today, which is odd because I usually don't react to the flu shot.

Today, I feel okay with no fever. However, during the night, I got pretty intense muscle aches and they continue this morning. I hurt all over, including my feet and hands, plus a pretty good headache. I've reacted to all of the Covid shots this way, though, and if it goes like normal, I'll be back to normal by tonight.

Got my latest covid booster and the flu shot at the same time. Had no issues.
I always get the flu shot since I got the flu and got sick for 3 days and didn't have the shot 6 years ago. Since then I haven't gotten the flu... probably luck but I prefer to be less sick if I do.

Yeah. Like a lot of people said here, I never got the flu.

Until I did.

First time, I was down for about 10 days. Then, two years later, I got it over Christmas and basically ruined Christmas for my kids (by the time I was feeling better, my boys had to go back to college).

After that, I said "**** it" and get the flu shot every year. If it can prevent getting the flu again even a little bit, it's worth it.

Damn. I thought those 3 days I had were bad. Definitely glad you got through that sounded terrible.
