Researchers offered people $3,000 to be injected with the flu virus....so they could study it and develop better vaccines. Subjects were quarantined in a hospital for study for 9 days. Would you do it?

I say &^%$ NO!

Would you believe my husband (who is asthmatic) said $3,000 dollars? Hmmm. lol. I said are you kidding me? {#emotions_dlg.blink}

To add, DH gets the flu shot yearly I do not because as a child I was allergic to eggs which I have since outgrown but I don't trust getting the shot due to that egg allergy because while I now eat eggs I limit them to 1 or 2 every so often. (and every year I pray I don't get the flu and I wash my hands a zillion times).

If I were young, healthy and needed the money, I would.

It's always a victory for me when I remember why I entered a room.

No. I do not like shots. Only when absolutely necessary.

If you are hungry, you might just do it.

No way would I do this. I will say this, however, I'm thankful for the people who are willing to do it.
