None of us fall into the category where it would be given in any time frame that it might do some good. By the time it is available for the regular population it will have run its wave and you'd already have been sick if you were going to catch it.
Pregnant women and kids with asthma, that's who will be getting it first in mid-October, it takes two shots and the wave in the US usually lasts 6 to 8 weeks and the tide is already rising with cases reported in schools in the US. It will be over before the vaccination is available to most of us. Watermark can stand in a line of one getting a vaccination for a flu he's already suffered from.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
- -- Aristotle
