WTF - A "free" flu-shot with a purchase is hardly constitutes "free health care".
It's all relative, Don. Waiting on a mile long wait list isn't "free" either.
"Walgreen’s stock is down some -21.5% since January, and CVS stock is down -15.80% year-to-date..."
Maybe those flu shots are being delivered by rail...
Interesting there has always been hoopla about flu shot shortages (and which President is responsible for that), not having them ready for the "current" flu strain etc., but these guys have had their flu shot signs out continuously this year. Are these leftovers from the "pandemic" that never was?
Free flu shot for only $30. I thought economists could tell that didn't mean free.
This great marketing by P&G and the drug stores as well as a public service for health care.
What flu strains will you be protected from with the current shot? The flu shot will protect against 2009 H1N1, H3N2 and influenza B virus. It takes two weeks after the shot to be effective.
How free is free if one develops DYSTONIA?

Thanks for the link, juandos, Up until today I thought Dystonia was a country in eastern Europe. :-)
"Up until today I thought Dystonia was a country in eastern Europe"...
I heard the tail end of the news on the radio and that was the word I thought I heard...
I too thought it was a country near Poland or someplace similer...
I was seriously shocked when I found out what it was...
Scary stuff!
Speaking of scary Ron H check out this bizzare opinion piece about those who don't get vaccines...

Hmmm...You may be right, I'm so confused. I've been thinking that Dystopia was the country I'm living in now, the former USofA.
"Speaking of scary Ron H check out this bizzare opinion piece about those who don't get vaccines..."
Wow! That truly IS scary, and I don't mean the diseases or vaccines. And to think people gets PAID to spout collectivist crap like that.
This kind of says all there is to say about that mentality:
"If you're not willing to do your part for herd immunity, you need to take responsibility for staying out of the herd."
"...I'm so confused. I've been thinking that Dystopia was the country I'm living in now, the former USofA."
ah, yes..."New Dystopia" (like New York, New London, New England).
Dystopia?!?!
Excellent call methinks!!
