Flu season is here-ish

I'm up early in the middle of the week because I have an appointment in town for my flu shot.

I'll be back later to write a longer post about how the flu shot works for people that still think it causes autism in adults (it doesn't.)

There's evidence that this season might be a dozy, and a strong chance the flu shot is more accurate than last year when they decided what strand to put in the needle.

I also get that people are going to tell me "but andrew, you made us get our flu shot last year cause it was a bad year, and then none of us got sick..."

That's because a lot of us got our flu shots and the virus wasn't able to get a foothold in our community. Which is how it works.

Anyway. Off to my needle.

What's in a flu shot? Do you always have it every year?

Working on a post about it. But yes, I get it every year.
