No... I will admit that in the past I have not gotten a flu shot every year. I have always supported them but I've been lazy and not gotten one every year. I took my chances. .... I guess I also took chances with other peoples health too, by not getting the shot. My bad. I hope nobody became seriously ill because of my past negligence. If they did I'm sorry. I was stupid, ignorant, foolish, and selfish.
However, as I've gotten older and seen the effect that serious illness has on some people, I've perhaps gotten a little wiser (or at least I hope so). I now get my flu shot every year. I try to do my part to protect myself and those around me. .... also, hopefully, I am easing the burden on the Alberta health care system, which frankly I believe is pretty close to the breaking point as it is, without the H1N1 pandemic thrown in to make everything even more of a cluster######.
