seems like you do that everyday but getting on a crowded bus or mall but what the fuck
The National Institutes of Health will study how the body reacts to the flu virus in the hope of improving future vaccines.
Sniffles and sneezes aren't enough to deter a few brave individuals from participating in one of the latest studies from the National Institutes of Health. In the hopes of making a better flu vaccine, NIH scientists are purposely infecting dozens of volunteers with the influenza virus, The Associated Press reports.
If you're bold enough to volunteer, the flu -- plus up to $3,000 in compensation -- can be yours.
The study aims to see how the body reacts to influenza at each stage of infection. Dr. Matthew Memoli, an infectious disease specialist at the NIH, believes the study will ultimately shed light on how to improve vaccines.
"Vaccines are working, but we could do better," says Memoli. It makes sense when you consider that the vaccine is least effective in the group that is most susceptible to the virus: those age 65 and older.

Notice how it says "up to $3,000", meaning that, in all likelihood, the amount of money you actually get can/will vary, probably depending on how sick you actually get.

Yeah, I'd pass...
Put it in writing that the $3,000 is absolutely guaranteed, regardless of if you actually get sick or not, and I'll consider it.
