My brother lives in Seattle and was just in the ER and diagnosed with the flu...105 temperature and all. The moron did not get the flu shot. He gets extra dumb points because he has CAH and his endocrinologist said he should always be first in line to get the flu shot. My brother is a 28 year old giant man child. So now he has to triple his meds, plus take his shot however often til he’s over it
My 2 year old son though, got the flu shot in the beginning of the season, and 2 weeks ago had a throat infection. I’ve never seen a “throat infection” cause temps to spike to 104. My son was beat red, shaking uncontrollably, couldn’t/wouldn’t eat, threw up several times....I went through a bottle of Motrin, a bottle of Tylenol, and 2 bottles of cough syrup. It took 6 days for his fever to completely go away. It was the sickest my son had ever been. Granted the dr said it was simply a throat infection, but I’d hate to see what it could have been if he hadn’t gotten the flu shot. My son is still not 100% as he still has a lingering cough.
