A nurse convinced me to get the flu shot which was supposed to work against the bird flu but If I remember right that shot caused more problems than it cured.

In 1971 the bird flu scare was way overblown in the US but what is happening now is much worse than what happened in 1971. There doesn't seem to be much urgency about today's bird flu with Fuck Face as president. We will never know how bad it is, information will be shut down.

Did you know you can get bird flu from contaminated milk just splashing on your face?
