The Flu Problem

Schnoz for days. Invest in some Nyquil, brochacho

So it's halftime of the Celtics game, and two things have come to my attention:

1) The poor round eyes on the Celtics couldn't hold Jeremy Lin down.

2) This flu "problem" is really fucking annoying. It's all I've heard about for the last three days. "Blah, blah, blah get a flu shot. You'll be sorry." My grandmother all up in arms about CVS running out of the vaccine. Serves her right for calling me dumb. Who's "stupid" now, Grandma? Probably should have gone a bit earlier than January if you valued your life so much. PS- I ain't watching your dog if you croak. He sucks.

All of this would sound incredibly harsh if the vaccine actually did anything. But this year it isn't quite as effective as it has been in past years. The CDC has come out and said it has been about 62% effective. Fat fucking chance that I am getting off my ass to go to my nearest Rite Aid* so some stranger (who is probably just a Rite Aid employee in a lab coat. Real clever them folk are) can stick me in the arm with a needle for a vaccine that probably won't work. And look at the title of the CNN article- "Had a Flu Shot?- You'll be OK...Maybe." It's like they are taunting old people about their very, very real mortality. Kind of hilarious coming from a major news source. Referring back to Lin, the headline creator must be the same asshole who made the "Chink in the Armor" title for ESPN last year. That dude can write for The Paper Toss anytime. 

In conclusion, people are freaking out about this flu because people are dying. It's all old people though, so like, who cares? (100% chance I get the flu and die within the next fortnight)
