Walgreens announces flu shot gift card; give the “gift” of a vaccine
[link to morichesdaily.com]

It’s too bad we can’t figure out a way to give the gift of common sense to people. If they had any common sense about health and nutrition, they wouldn’t need flu shot gift cards in the first place.

Summer isn’t even over yet and the big push for the mass vaccination of the entire population is already under way. The CDC started the push by recently urging vaccine shots for everyone — including infants, pregnant women and immune-compromised people. Adding to the vaccination hoopla, Walgreens has announced something quite bizarre: A flu shot gift card.

Now they’re trying to jab you again with the same viral fragments. But this year they’re playing mind games with the public by packaging these flu shots as “gifts.” Walgreens must think this is clever, but it’s actually a bit of a farce.

BWUAHAHAHA!!!

This is really funny, I can't believe I missed it before! Here's another article on it.

[link to usahitman.com]

Here's from the article:

"In my opinion, buying a Walgreens flu shot gift card sends a powerful, two-part message. First, it announces that you’re a complete idiot when it comes to health, and you’re a total sucker for the corporate-controlled interventionist health care system that excels at convincing you to buy dangerous drugs you don’t even need.

Secondly, it says that you probably hate the person you’re giving it to. What kind of person buys a vaccine shot as a gift anyway? Does it include a Hallmark card that says “Every time I think of you, I wince in pain and can’t stop convulsing. Enjoy this vaccine so that you can have the same experience.”

Or another card, “I couldn’t decide what to get you for Christmas, so I thought I’d get you vaccinated instead. Merry Christmas!”

Can you imagine some little kid receiving this gift from his parents? He was hoping for an X-Box or a dirt bike, but instead he gets an envelope with a red card in it. “What’s this?” he asks his parents. “Oh, Bobby, it’s a VACCINE gift card! To protect your health!” Bobby replies, “How does it work?” And his parents answer, “Well, using this vaccine gift card, you can get jabbed in the arm with chemicals and live viruses, and it won’t even cost you a penny!”

“I feel really loved,” answers Bobby. “No one has ever given me the gift of a vaccine shot! When can we go to Walgreens and cash in?”

Bobby,

It is kind of like when we used to break open mercury thermometers and playing with the funny silvery balls...
only for your entertainment were going to inject them into your bloodstream and let the ball of mercury dance on the base of your brain-stem... You will get a total rush from your present and have the added benefit of being socially awkward for the rest of your life.... Rahhh Rahhh

Never got a flu shot and I never will. I would rather take a chance on dropping dead.

A few doses of Vitamin C throughout each day doesn't hurt either.

Strawberries are the most potent natural source.

Sorry, that should read - ONE OF THE MOST SPRAYED ....

I think the apple is sprayed even more often (on average, 26 TIMES!!) than are strawberries.

Amazing on where you can get a flu shot this year. I'm surprised you can't get them at McDonald's yet :/
