flu shot?

I never talked down to him like he was trash. In fact, I thanked him twice for his input. If he felt like I disrespected him like he was trash, I think he would have stated that when he replied. I'll go one step further. Does anyone think I was disrespectful in any way to Dr. Buick? Just because he is a doctor does not make him omnipotent. There will always be disagreement in the medical community about lots of things. The vast majority of doctors recommend vaccination. You disagree with them don't you Chris? If a doctor came on here and defended vaccines, I wonder if you would have been as polite as I was. I have never talked down to anyone here, in fact, I go out of my way to be as respectful as I can. I don't want to offend anyone, but sometimes it happens anyway. It doesn't take much with some. You are one of the most intolerant people I have ever met on this site. A difference of opinion turns into a blood feud with you. In spite of that, I have always tried to be as diplomatic as I can, but that doesn't seem to work with you. It's your way or the highway. So Chris, I have the ultimate respect for your knowledge about Buick engines. You know how to make a car go fast, no question about it. Our last disagreement was about what you thought my car should be. I know what I want out of my car, and just how much I want to affect it's drive ability on the street. That was the crux of it. What you did was try to humiliate me because I didn't want to follow your dictate 100%, and I had the nerve to tell you so. We went back and forth until I flat out told you I didn't want your input anymore. That solved our problem then. Now I have offended you again by disagreeing with you and others about vaccines. I'm not allowed to disagree? Do I work on my own car? Yes I do. I installed the engine and the rear end. I installed the first exhaust system. I took my aluminum heads and intake off and sent them to TSP. I then installed the iron heads back on and the Performer intake and got the car running again while I was waiting for the new engine. Do I do everything? No I do not. If I had a garage with a lift, I would do more.

As for the internet, yes I have learned a great deal from the internet and re used it, just as lots of people have. Not everything on the internet is true though. You can find anything you want with a Google search. Unfortunately, that includes every opinion, conspiracy theory, or rant on just about anything. Anyone can write a coherent comprehensive page on anything and it can be very convincing to a lot of people, but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. You have to read a lot of varying information and search to find the truth. It takes work. Most don't have the patience and neither do I most of the time, but if an issue is important to me, I look to read as much as I can on that issue, and then I try to decide what I believe and what is best for me. That sometimes leads to disagreement and I can live with that. I don't have to agree with everything my friends and acquaintances believe to get along with them. This applies to everyone I have ever met except apparently, you. If you think I am taking a swing at anyone who disagrees about vaccines by stating what I believe, well, that's your problem. Get over it.

 

Guys, everyone knows the flu shot has nanorobots in it. That's right, Larry has little robots in him. :eek2:

That is a valid point AC. I do not know for sure whether it was the flu or not. It sure felt like it though. I've had lots of cold viruses. I've never had a severe fever with a cold but a low grade fever is a possibility I realize. This time, I ran a 101.9* fever for 2 straight days complete with weakness and chills. I was pretty bummed out thinking I was in for it, and was thrilled when I felt better on the 3rd and 4th day. It may have been the flu though, I can't prove it, but it can't be disproved either. I like to think the vaccine helped, but I can't prove it. Everything I see and read recommends the vaccine. I do believe in modern medicine and will continue to get the flu vaccine. This is the first time in at least 12 years when I have been this sick. One thing is for sure, I did not get sick from the vaccine. I received it in the beginning of October and didn't get sick until the middle of December

Despite anything, I still believe in the vaccine process. I'll repeat this again. I don't think anyone should be forced to receive any vaccine, but I don't want anyone to tell me I can't get one. The seasonal flu vaccine has never been effective as other vaccinations for common diseases in childhood. There will always be unwanted reactions to any vaccine. You have to gauge the relative risk and make your own personal choice.

 

I love it. Thank You Jason, you just proved one of my points. I'll buy you a beer in Norwalk.:laugh:

 

Just don't stand next to him. Hes being tracked by the NSA.

 

You can stand next to me, just borrow Jason's tin foil helmet.:laugh:

 

No, I don't need a hug Chris, and thank you, it is my car, and I have what I want out of it, mid 11's and I can drive it anywhere. Never really expected more, but if there is more, I'll find it. This Spring, I will be ditching the switch pitch and going to a fixed pitch smaller converter, and we will see where that gets me.

As far as me being called the Wizard, that came about shortly after V8 came into existence. A member "Johnny Angel" http://www.v8buick.com/member.php?8245-Johnny-Angel gave me that name after he posted with 3 different problems he was having with his Buick. I gave him some advice and it turned out I solved all 3 of his problems. He told me I was a wizard, and the name just stuck, what can I say? Am I a know it all? Absolutely not. I learn something every day on V8. I like to think I have helped a few guys here over the years. I think if you asked anyone who has met me, they would say they have a favorable opinion of me. I feel no heat or pressure as my expectations have been met. I can't speak for anyone but myself.
