I've read and heard on the news that the flu vaccine that is available is ineffective against the strain of flu that is currently hitting us.... yet everyone is panicing to get the flu shot?

Am I missing something?

And how do you all think this new powerful strain got started...mutated from the one that the flu shot goes after....hmmmmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) I for one am not in favor of such a thing aside from using it for the old and very young. By people our age using these type of vaccines for the flu we're just creating more harmful variations. Am I the only one that thinks this way?
