usmc1868 User ID: 28677748 United States 10/28/2015 09:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Went to Walgreens pharmacy, 1st thing the tech asks """are you here to get your flu vaccine shot???"""" It was obnoxious, 2 weeks ago it was towards the end at check when they asked if I wanted one. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19332545 Why are they pushing the shot? Seems to me, they would want more people sick so they get more business. What gives? Never ever ever get a flu shot, my first four years of military service I got them under orders and was severly sick each time shortly there after. I then for the last eighteen years avoided them and have only had an occasional cold. Fucking government sucks! |

I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

Seems to me, they would want more people sick so they get more business. What gives? They really gear up on this from time to time. I told them once that if they asked me that again, I would halt my business there. Then one time I asked the tech for an ingredient list or if she could tell me what is in the shots and/or for the written content of the vaccines. She left and came back with some sales brochure. I just said this isn't it and left. Greater is He who is in me than he who is in the world. Whatever feels good to your soul, do that. |
