[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2958817, member: 9374"] Flu shot is a guess, every year. But here's the deal... if the strain of the flu that catches on and goes around is NOT the one in the shot... then how do you know the shot didn't work? Maybe the shot was effective at suppressing the strains that were included??? You're NOT going to eradicate the flu. It's just not going to happen. It's like the common cold (rhinovirus). So if you suppress one strain, another strain will crop up. But everyone says "guess the shot didn't work this year". Every year. [/QUOTE]
