Where the hell is Jim?

Sorry to hear, Jim. Get well as fast as ya can!

Speaking of the flu... I have only once gotten a flu shot (bootcamp and I was dead ass tired and they snuck it past me) because growing up I was allergic to egg whites and the flu vaccine is cultured in an egg. And it seems that most of the time everyone I know who gets the shot ends up with the flu, while I sail by uninfected (knock on cyberwood).
I've been worndering if the medical industry isn't causing more harm than good with coming up with a new vaccine each year. What I mean is every year they come up with a new one to combat the latest strain, and the next year it mutates again and they have to come up with another vaccine. I wonder if by coming up with new vaccines each year is in fact causing the mutations and increasing it's potency each time the flu mutates?
Don't mind me, I'm just spreading unnecessary fear and paranoia.
