Already got it...and no, it won't make you sick! However, good hygiene works wonders.

No, never had, never will. I am never sick. I suppose I get incubated with small doses of all kinds of viral infections on a daily basis, that I am in effect more or less immune to any bug thrown my way.

Funny, but my wife and I were talking about this last night. I've only had two flu shots in my life and that was only because getting them happened to be convenient at the time. Her viewpoint is that getting a flu shot is an absolute requirement and my argument was that with or without one, an individual's chances of actually getting the flu were very small.
She accused me of "not caring"...

Yep, last week. I've only missed getting a shot once in the past ten years. No flu during that time...knock on wood.

Never ever. I have had the flu once or twice as an adult, never had the shot.

Nope, never get one.
WIfe is a teacher so she does. Kids get them. 1st I am absolutely petrified of needles. 2nd, I generally avoid taking anything unless absolutely necessary. My wife refers to everything as "medicine". If it does not cure the problem and only masks the symptoms in my book it's not medicine.

Mr Dayton, clearly you are a heartless monster due to your stance on this.
I have had the flu once in the last 25 years, got it from the flu shot I was forced to get, which they claimed was impossible. The next year, they again said I had to get the shot or I could not work in the clinic and would not graduate. To this I replied, "Not gettin the shot. If you prevent me from graduating I will sue you for the total of my investment in my education." They immediately caved.
