So you've seen the articles about the sudden shortage of the flu vaccine, right?

Since when did THE FUCKING FLU become such a horrific illness that the general public would panic over a shortage of the flu vaccine? Yeah, it sucks to get sick, but FUCK, as a kid going through the public school system in a climate where winter meant it was cold and snowy, WE ALL GOT SICK ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It might have been somewhat inconvenient, but we weren't fucking SCARED OF IT.

Shit, in a hundred years, if someone sneezes, the whole city will get sick and die because none of them have ever dealt with illness before. We're gonna turn into the little grey aliens we all think come from outerspace because we're doing so many things to make our bodies weaker and more susceptible. Our eyes won't be able to handle UV rays because we have contacts that block UV, sunglasses, tinted windows, and the INDOORS. Our flesh will sear off our skeleton if we venture outside, since all the sunscreen products will make our skin eventually produce less of the stuff that sort of blocks UV naturally. Our muscles will be weak since robots do our physical labor and steroids make us think we're stronger than we are. Our teeth will be unnecessary since everything will come packaged in smaller than bitesize portions [a la Halloween's "fun size"]. Our vision will be worse since everyone will just get lasers to correct it.

The only things about us that will get more robust are our lungs, having to deal with all the shitty air pollution and holding our breath underwater as we meekly doggypaddle toward land, our homes flooded by the melting of polar ice caps from global warming.

Sure we live longer now than we did even 200 years ago, but what for? To lay around in a retirement home with the closed captioning on the TV since our hearing all went after we listened to our rock music too loud for too long? We won't even have gas for your stupid SUVs in 10 years.
