USA government offering 3,000 for flu test subjects would you do it?

[EvilPimp]

The government is offering money to participate in a flu test You would be given the flu virus, quarantined for at least 9 days for $3,000 dollars. link Thoughts?

Yes I'm game, where do I sign up?

Nah I'm good money ain't everything.

[ArtistBboy]

How do you know it's really "The flu" and that they are truly gonna stick to their word on releasing you after 9 days...?

Okay call me skeptical... There have been reports about people being paralyzed / dieing from the flu shot - even being brain dead... Is 3 grand worth that? What in gods name could I buy with 3 grand that I wanted so bad right this second... A street bike, but it's not worth my life and a street bike is realistically 6-10 grand for the one I want lol. Pass!

[Shpongolia]

I'm surprised the government is being THIS generous considering they have a track record for infecting unsuspecting children in 3rd world nations with all sorts of viruses including syphilis and the flu, and not paying a dime.

Of course I wouldn't. It's not worth the risk.

[vishna]

Yeah. They infect me, a healthy young adult, with the virus. I eat free food, sit around and feel sick for a few days. Then I'm released and am 3,000 dollars richer. Plus, I'm in a hospital so if it starts getting bad they can jump on it right away.

I would definitely do it.

[523206720]

yeah I'd do it. When I have the flu my worst symptom is a sore throat. That's nothing compared to what I suffer when I'm out on a cold day and I don't get paid for that.

[MrAtticusLebowski]

So $3000 for 9 days of "work" to catch something I've normally gotten in the past? All while being in a facility surrounded by medical professionals? Doesn't sound like a bad idea actually. This sounds especially nice for someone that's never had health insurance.

[sadie-lynn]

i only live a few hours from there, but I had the flu two years ago and it was awful! I didn't get vaccinated; I don't like shots. I don't want it again.

[NightBlindness]

I've done some drug trials, so yea I would sign up for that... A lot of people here have said no, clearly they don't have money problems!

[Tatiahna]

Nope.. a few people have been dying lately from "the flu" and I think it's from this.. my life isn't worth $3000

[Luv2BRealExotic13]

No that's still playing with your life for a measly 3000 dollars.

[Stayinganon]

Nah. I hate stuff like that. I haven't even gotten my regular flu shot because that's how much I hate the doctors.

[teasegirl]

Lol I've been thinking about it for a week now. My family said no!

[NerdInDenial]

Hell no. The government has done some fucked up shit to people in the past.

[Anonymous]

I had the flu and it was HORRIBLE! It's been a month and I'm just now getting back to feeling like my normal self. I like money but not that much.

[Anonymous]

I don't even like getting a flu shot as I don't trust what any government says is okay to put in me.

[Darkhocolate1001]

$3k? Tough one I hate needles unless I really need the money than yes, but other than that nope.

[ihatethiswebsite]

nope. I don't trust the USA government or medical set up. They purely do stuff for the money and not helping people

[Anonymous]

No girlfriend, too lame to get any, too bored.. How on earth not? :D

[lace1228]

Um no thank you. The flu can kill you.

[lace1228]

Probably some Zombie virus lol

[Settingemstraight]

I do not fear the flu. I would fear the 9 days.

[Seannkim]

Fear the government

[Settingemstraight]

that too

[Anonymous]

No. I don't need the money that badly

[Tabra]

Nah, I am not one to like to be sick at all.

[gotc147]

[Anonymous]
