Hopefully there is some long term thinking involved here too
This administration? I doubt it.
When it comes to health care, I'm a pessimist. I don't think we'll ever get universal health coverage in this country.

Scoot over. I need to be in that corner too, and I'm wearing super-fluffy skirts today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And that's new around here, how?
It's usually not so literal.

Okay, here's my flu shot ish. AFAIK the flu shot only innoculates you against one or two strains, and since we don't have a vaccine for the scary bird flu, that won't be one of them.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I don't usually get a flu shot because they make me feel shitty, but after last November's little lung adventure I think I ought to -- they're not ALL the way better yet.

Make room for me too. My parents, who both picked up bugs in the ER week before last and felt miserable for the last 10 days, are nagging me to get a flu shot. I would be the guy who was in the same ER being coughed on by germy people much longer than they, and who shrugged off the viruses with no more than a one-day scratchy throat that might have been from sleeping with my mouth open in their heated-to-the-point-of-baking house.
Overwork, antisocial nature, and compulsive handwashing are my best friends during cold & flu season.

I think the flu shot works for more than two, and I think (I THINK) it can help somewhat with strains it doesn't cover specifically.

Yay!
What should I have for dinner?
Sushi. Followed by a cupcake. Oh wait, those are MY dinner plans. Plus finally going to see the W&G Were-Rabbit movie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's usually not so literal.
You've met us, right? Plagues of boils plus legbreaking are wished upon people on a daily basis. Sure, they're not often here, but I don't like to limit my repertoire. Don't like the chafing feeling.
I should probably get a flu shot. Because tempting fate never seems to work against me.
