Active duty military, now destroyed by required flu shot (2017 edition). Elite runner, now learning how to walk again. Hoping they'll let me continue serving till I can retire after nearly 19 years active duty. Need 1 more year to make 20 years (min retirement) but not sure I can make it. DO NOT get immunizations. I never had the flu before getting the flu shot. Never had ANYTHING. Now this. Don't Do It! The homesteading life (SW Missouri) was what I wanted (still do!) for my future bride (wedding is next weekend) and our children. Now cast in doubt.

You don't know how bad things can be till you have cancer or a debilitating disease that destroys your spinal cord...
