Let’s hold off on the kissing until after flu season, shall we? :-p

I want to kiss you. I work in a lab that produces seed strains for the seasonal vaccine. The number of times I’ve had to hear someone tell me that flu “isnt that serious” or they don’t need a vaccine because they “have a good immune system”. Guess what guys, influenza is deadly serious and everyone needs a vaccine.

If you get your flu shot in the ass, you’ve got a perv for a doctor.

You’re asking the wrong question.

I avoided getting a flu shot for years, saying I didn’t need one because I thought I had a robust immune system. In my case, it probably had more to do with the fact that I’m terrified of needles.

Get one....No matter what! It’s cheap and doesn’t hurt much.

You, sir, are an idiot. First, once people are demonstrating symptoms, they have generally progressed beyond the contagious phase. So unless you are slurping up their flem, you are not as exposed as you think you are. Second, other people’s immune systems have nothing to do with your own. Third, because you are…

Google: Herd Immunity.

The problem is you never know when you are around someone with a compromised immune system. Grocery store, gas station, the mall? You could still be passing it on to people that it can kill.

You should still get the flu shot. Read up on the concept of her immunity. Even though you’re strong and healthy, there are many people who are counting on you (cancer patients, old people, young people) to protect them since they either can’t get the shot or have weak immune systems.

Why shouldn’t the girls who can take private lessons take them? It should be about getting the best team possible so that you can win. My high school team we had to take 2 hours of tumbling a week. Plus you needed at least a backhandspring to make the team. But that’s what works we were one of the top 10 teams in our…

All star cheer got provisional status!!! But its wayyy differnt from school cheer. All star is a higher level usually and more training

I loved it then, too!

Hi! I’m the teacher that sent this in! Thank you SO SO much to everyone who is saying positive things and/or donating. We are so very grateful. The coaches have been dancing around the office as donations started coming in and I guess NBC called this morning. We appreciate your love and support and well-wishes. If you…

There is also a complete asshole who cheerfully used the term “already bratty teenagers” to shit on this whole story and openly mocks anyone who donates as “stupid” because this is nothing but a cry for a free vacation or some shit.

This is kind of the story of sports teams all over the country now. We have a high school in our area in a well-to-do district that recently spent over $500,000 on a new locker room specifically for the kids on the varsity football and basketball teams. The perennial Division I winners in the state championships are…

Troll alert: Please avoid feeding the individual who keeps commenting that Jezebel doesn’t cover enough stories about white people. And if you must comment, perhaps you can provide him/her a link to Bo Bice’s website so that they can cry together.

My high school got rid of our team partially for this reason.  

Oh jeez, they have guts, especially when the team may not have the same access to safety equipment and health care like the richer schools do. Good luck!

Does this have anything to do with that damn cheer-tator, Torrance?
