Flu shot?

[GhettoDogAllStars]

No way in hell should people be forced to get a vaccine! This is f'ing America for crying out loud! I seriously hope this isn't being considered. If somebody came to my house to force drugs into me, I'd probably shoot them.

I don't want a flu vaccine. Never got one, and never wanted one. I'd rather have the flu -- no joke.

Now, I'm not going to say I'm a healthy person -- I smoke tobacco and also umm... other tar-producing plants. I eat salty, unhealthy food. My diet is heavy in animal protein. I drink at least 2 cups of coffee per day. I sit at a desk all day for work (usually 10+ hours).

However, I like to be active outdoors, when I can. My favorite "active" outdoor activities are hiking, rock climbing and snowboarding. My longest hike was 22 miles. Other hikes are usually in the range of 5 - 15 miles. I probably go on about 5 - 10 hikes a year. I go snowboarding almost every weekend during the winter (20-30 days last year). I help my buddy cut down trees and split wood maybe once a month. I am 6'1", and I weigh 160 pounds. I am 27 years old. I haven't been to the doctor in over 10 years, and I don't take any pharmaceuticals, except for the occasional aspirin (maybe 2 per year).

So, I'd say my level of activity is somewhere between sedentary and moderate, along with a terrible diet. So far, it's been about 5 years since I got sick with anything. Like I said, I don't consider myself healthy -- just lucky I guess.

I guess the point of this post is just to say that we truly don't fully understand health.
