I had the Swine Flu and it was terrible. Since then I have always had
a flu shot, originally because of David, my doc pointed out I should
consider him before myself. Starting with the search for a vaccine
for Avian flu, I have been a guinea pig on many flu studies. Never
been hurt and never had flu since the Swine in the mid 70s.
