I'm amazed to find so many PhD's on a cigar forum who know better than the people who spend their life studying and treating sick people.

My brother, a pediatrician, said today that while last year was mild, this year is terrible and is expected to become a full-fledged medical epidemic, possibly setting a record. Thankfully, the flues this year are milder and not very lethal than in years past.

I have not had the shot. I did see my doc in November, and she tested me for the flu, but I tested negative.

That was a fun one. People were getting their temperatures taken to board aircraft and everyone had to fill out special immigration cards so they could track people backwards if they got sick. Medical masks were fashionable!

So you would favor cigar recommendations from a guy that smoked one cigar over those from Arturo Fuente or Rockey Patel. Go for it, I'm sure it will all work out. [horse]

I promised myself that I wouldn't take threads like this seriously anymore but I DO have one question.

Have they done an unbiased study (not funded by Pharma, the FDA, or CDC) on the number of casualties from the flu- vaccinated vs. non-vaccinated? Since they've practically sold out, er, run out of serum, they should have a good database of vaccinated participants vs the unvaccinated portion of the population. This should give us a good feel for it's effectiveness and whether or not it exarcerbated/worsened symptoms or caused death when it was introduced.
