remember, the antivaxxers are convinced that the flu shot gives you the flu. (It can result in flu-like symptoms, but nothing requiring hospitalization.)

(If it's true). TMZ is pretty good with their hospital sources . This would explain the repeated trips to the Walgreen's pharmacy. If true some Doctor is going to be in trouble.
