I do not plan to get the flu shot. Washing my hands constantly hopefully will protect me. Am I correct? Why do you say that there is not a flu shot that will help? Please help.

Anyone concerned about the Swine Flu, and suspicious of the "Pork Industry"; will find this video very informative watch. It does make one laugh when you can see how scared some people are wearing the surgeons mask, which would never prevent you from catching shit.
