30. If any of the next 40 people...
are really at risk from the flu then I hope they get the shots. But I'm not.

Frankly, part of me always wonders if it's all a big drug company conspiracy. I can remember a time when they only gave flu shots to the elderly and small children (sometimes) and people with poor immune systems. Why do we ALL need to get them now?
