Dumbasses who don't get the Flu Vaccine

Every flu season, I resurrect this hysterical and snarky by Infectious Disease specialist Dr. Mark Crislip which was originally published in A Budget of Dumb Asses, which accurately states that healthcare workers who refuse to get a flu vaccine are Dumb Asses. Yes, complete and utter Dumb Asses. Even though this broadside against vaccine deniers is about the flu vaccine, it's all right to search and replace flu with say meningitis, pertussis, measles or anything. And just because it's about healthcare workers, it's all right to replace that with your neighbor, co-worker, or some other anti-scientific antivaccination Dumb Ass.
The upcoming 2014-2015 flu season is just starting, and many physicians and clinics (along with many pharmacies, government flu clinics, and other places) have this season's flu vaccine. One of the best ways, if not the only real way, to prevent contracting this year's flu is by immunization with the seasonal flu vaccine.
And it's time for intelligent, reasonable, and rational people to get their flu shots.
