I’m So Sick Of People Worrying About The Flu
Boston – Mayor Thomas M. Menino declared a public health emergency Wednesday morning because of the expanding flu outbreak. Health care centers across the city will be offering free vaccines to anyone who hasn’t yet been immunized. The city has 700 confirmed cases of flu so and four flu-related deaths. Last year Boston had only 70 confirmed cases. Massachusetts has had 18 flu-related deaths so far this season, according to the state Department of Public Health. Public health officials emphasized that it’s not to late to get a flu vaccine. Here’s where to find a free shot. “We’re off to an early start nationally and in Massachusetts,” Kevin Cranston, director of the DPH Bureau of Infectious Disease, told reporters today before a meeting of the state Public Health Council. While the last two flu seasons have been mild, this one is on pace to be a “moderately severe” season, he said. “This is probably on its way to be more severe than average but still not unprecedented in severity.”
First of all, that headline is absolutely brilliant. Second of all, has there ever been anything more overhyped every year than the flu? There’s always some new type of flu coming along that’s gonna murder all human life and wipe us off the face of the earth. And even when it’s just your regular, average, run-of-the-mill flu we still got Menino declaring a public health emergency. What do I have to stop licking train seats now? Can’t ask homeless people for a sip of their Gatorade anymore? I shouldn’t resume coughing on strangers until we’re back in non-emergency mode? Thanks for the tip dude.
Seriously fuck the fucking flu. This happens EVERY YEAR and for some reason society gets collective amnesia and panties get twisted all over the place. Yeah some people might get sick but people get sick all the time. It’s just part of humanity. But I’m sure all the college kids in Boston will see that we’re in a state of emergency and stop playing beer pong and hooking up with each other. I’m sure people won’t ride the T to work anymore. I’m sure lifestyles will drastically alter because of the flu emergency just like they don’t do every year.
I’m telling you, the fucking flu, man. Biggest attention whore going these days.
never got the flu before this year that shit is no joke.
your boss who has the immune system of a young magic johnson will be sick by the end of the week
I hope you get the flu
I hope you get the flu and die, and I’m still waiting for AIDS to kill Neil
Ive already used a few sick days this yr w “the Flu”. Its gonna blow when i actually get it.
yeah dude ill probably just stop hooking up with your hebe sister while im at it too
I used to get the flu all the time then I started paying a little more for my hookers.
Gary the Retard is scared of the flu
Until you get it that is. BTW, already 18 DEATHS in MA from this attention whore.
Let it never be said Boston is full of pussies afraid of the flu… Oh, wait….
Listen dickwad, they hype it for Vaccination sales. Thing is, the virus’s mutate and become more potent as they expand to resist the inactivated virus vaccination. Catch 22, Yosarian. But it’s basically a Vaccination money grab each year
you wanna know whose an overhyped attention whore? you are jmac. you suck and this was probably the worst blog post i’ve seen on this site in a long time (and i’m including everything written by kneel)
This is the pharmaceutical companies paying to get this media coverage. Every year they end up not using tons of these shots, so they’re sick of it. What better way to get people to get the flu shot than to try and scare the public.
We can all agree that flu shots are 100% for pussies, right?
I’ve never gotten a flu shot and never had the flu. My first question whenever somebody tells me they have/had the flu is if they got one, and literally 75% of people have. I generally try not to be a conspiracy theorist, but it makes you wonder what in the fuck are in these flu shots that people line up for every year which seem to have zero effect on actually stopping the flu.
I see what you did there with the headline.. Funny timing though my family just told me to get it ha
well actually if h1n5 ever mutates from birds to humans we are fucked
I’m getting over it now. Don’t get it, it’s a mo’fo.
If you die from the flu you suck natural selection at its finest
And yes flu shot is just money in the pockets of from fat cat medical guy. Never got one never will
I’d like to give Jackie from Roanoke college an immunization shot right in her glorious doody hole. And Musberger can watch while Dockett tweets fap fap fap
I seriously hope you get the flu you fucktard
I wanna fuck Jackie so bad.
I’m more worried about catching retardation from Boston’s mayor.
