What is the stomach flu?If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

NOT THE FLU. Do not call it that. This is what causes the problem.
It is viral gastroenteritis. It has as much to do with influenza as influenza does with HIV."My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

Thx for confirming my suspicion that a flu can lead to HIV - does that mean that a flu shot can protect against HIV ?
With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

I think maybe last year, or the year before? Still grown in eggs, but now the residual amount of egg protein is considered negligible, even for people with egg allergy. Some are recommending you get your dose in an allergist's office just in case, but that seems to be precautionary.Originally posted by The Mad Monk View Post"My nation is the world, and my religion is to do good." --Thomas Paine

Recent studies however have shown that the Flu vaccine is only 59% effective."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

Reduces number of people needing Dr visits with Flu Like symptoms by 59%.
As Flu kills ~ 2500 people a year in the UK (lowest estimate, can get a lot higher depending on across how many years you do the average) so if we can prevent 59% of cases, especially in vulnerable groups, it would seem extremely worthwhile?Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Oh I'm not saying you shouldn't have it, but previous estimates of its efficacy were much higher. People who got the disease anyway were convinced that we were lying about its efficacy. When claims about the efficacy of a treatment are fluffed up people lose trust in the medical profession."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment
