Title: Tommorrow I take the plunge
Post by: Kosh on December 21, 2009, 07:57:54 am
The Nanjing Public Health Department has offered free H1N1 vaccinations for all foreign students (if the student wants it of course), since it's free and since I figure it is better safe than sorry I decided to go for it. They are coming to pick us up tomorrow morning at 9.

Already had mine. They ask you if you're allergic to eggs.

That's about it.

Make sure they unwrap the needle in front of you though.

I never get the flu shot, and don't plan on getting this one either.  I don't like needles.  Of couorse it is probably the smart thing to do.

I thought H1N1 had pretty much run its course?

It's still kicking around. The media just got bored of being terrified of it.

Not to mention the mind-control probes that the Obama administration put in all the H1N1 vaccines to help facilitate the establishment of socialist healthcare.

I've had both and strongly encourage it as it's like a workout for your white cells.

I was de-swined last week and suffered no ill effects.  Woo for herd immunity!

The vaccinations had zero effect on me whatsoever.

By the way, it should be "Tomorrow." :P

I already have autism. :p Not like a vaccine would give it to me anyway even if I didn't.

I wish I could play a more recent game, but I don't have a computer capable of supporting it....yet.

Damn, man.  UT2004 will run on just about anything.

I've heard the same claim from Half Life 2, and a few years ago on a slightly more capable computer I tried it, and it didn't scale as claimed. It would work, although not very well. Same with Doom 3

I'm not buying another computer until either this one dies or I graduate. Whichever one comes first.



Btw, the vaccine went great, they used a thin needle so I didn't feel it (thankfully :P), and so far no side effects.

That needle was seriously thin.  Not like a tetanus booster, which is still killing your arm a week later. :p

Eh, get an Anthrax series. You'll feel the fifth injection pretty good.

I both remember that, and feel your pain. I had a perma-bruise for seven weeks. I've still got a semisolid lumpy bit in my arm actually. I'm squidging it now.
