Good list.

Women need to examine their breasts. This has always been totally wrong. Breasts need routine examination by a physician or a professor of English.

I thought the jabs did too! as every time I had a shot, I would get the flu. And when I don't have the injections, I'm flu-free ... have been for years. That goes for my hubby and son, too.

It doesn't give you the Flu. You may experience fever or/and a sore arm.

but People that get sick after taking the shot usually already has the Flu virus.

Get your mind out of the gutter, Chase!

Ozzie, I thought the same. It's practically the reason my mother and family refused to get the flu shot.

We don't get the flu, so why ask for it from the flu shot?
