Yeah I completely understand all the immune booster shots like the flu shot are attempts to force mutate the virus early so they can get an idea on what the next version of it will be.  When they are wrong it does nothing for you.

I just wish more instead of this form of control we could get more people the just wash their hands and clean surfaces more often.  I'm in MN so in the winter everyone is inside most of the time and closer together, so the flu really spreads quickly.  Precautions would go a long way to reduce it considerably.
