And with this usual scenario, the perspective of introducting that virus in my system isn't my favourite. So, uh, no.

I never could understand the concept of being sicker from the cure than I get from the disease!
During the time I was in the Navy, we were required to get flu shots annually. I actually threatened to break the medics arm if he came near me with that hypo gun!
Sometimes I won and sometimes I got the shot anyway. Invariably on those times I got sicker than I EVER got on the out years.
