This still manages to leave me dumbfounded. When I was growing up, we never heard of a flu vaccine. We also never heard of people dying from it. Sure, it can become 'complicated,' but anything can without proper care--which is what we really need to be teaching people. I wonder if we'll ever get to that point.
