When Leo claims that medicating three-year-olds is just a harbinger of things to come what does he mean by this?
 
  a. in the future, we will produce more medications that can have the same kind of revolutionary and positive effects that Ritalin has had on youngsters in the early part of the 21st century.
  b. in the past, we have not had drugs such as this available, but children and parents were self-medicating with other drugs that had similar effects.
  c. since we have already embraced the idea of chemically altering the minds of very young children, in the future we will think nothing of experimenting on youngsters in ways that we can not even imagine today.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
