  I don't agree with personal attacks and hearsay.

  Whether we 'like' Limbaugh or not was not the questioned posed by this thread

  Limbaugh claimed that the annual flu shot was not a vaccine and he was completely, totally wrong.

  Specific strains of the influenza virus, like A/Singapore/GP1908/2015 or B/Maryland/15/2016 NYMC BX-69A are grown in the allantoic cavity of embryonated chicken eggs. They are then harvested and inactivated via a combination of ultraviolet light and formaldehyde. The result is then centrifuged, purified and suspended in a buffered saline solution.

  That is a vaccine. If a talk show host doesn't understand this, then he probably shouldn't be talking about it at all.

  some light entertainment ... there are apparently 39 beatles songs hidden in the picture, but depending on how to interpret some of them you may come up with more.. please post one each, to give everyone a go, and describe where the song is in the picture (so it's not just coming up with a list of beatles songs).

  also, check for existing answers - i'll post summaries to show the ones already identified.. .

  Flulaval by GlaxoSmithKline, another four strain formulation

  
  

  As you can see from the packaging, these vaccines are specific to the flu season, because as I said, the exact strains to inoculate against are an educated guess made months in advance.

  After listening to it, I wonder if he's under the impression that vaccines are permanent, as in lasting the rest of your life (?)

  Although this is true (Or nearly so) for some diseases, it's not for others. Tetanus, for example, requires regular boosters because immunity fades after just a few years.

  At any rate, it's much better to take your political information from political sources and your medical information from medical sources.

  This is the same guy that said back in February, "...I’m dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks," which is true for some strains, but not for the one responsible for Covid-19 which is a novel strain.

  Two months later, the U.S. has 23,644 dead out of only 587,173 confirmed cases, which is an alarming ratio.

  I think what he was probably trying to say is that flu shots are prepared for the strain(s) that are anticipated to be active during flu season.

  Since this is simply an educated case, it's sometimes wrong and the strain you're inoculated against is not the strain that people become infected with.

  After all the goofy and just plain wrong things he's said about the Covid-19 outbreak and SARS-CoV-2 in the last month, you would think he would be embarrassed and perhaps stick to topics he understands.

  People Are Drinking a Lot More When "Locked Up" in Their Homes

  by RubaDub in

  it was amusing the other evening on the local news to see the increase of drinking due likely to people having to basically stay at home.. the news crew went out on recycle day in a couple of areas during the week.

  they showed the general neighborhoods (but not the specific houses).

  the reporter walked down the street and looked into the recycle bins.

  I bet the booze business is booming everywhere due to the covid-19

  It is here. Total Wine & More is doing curbside pickup and people are loading up their SUV's

  (Don't ask me how I know that )

  Yes. And the flu killed more people last year than Ebola, Bubonic plague and Diphtheria combined. Clearly the dangers of these diseases are overblown....
