Is there anything the Feds or the media tell us that I can believe?

I have been taking the flu shots since 1991 when I got a bad case of flu. I have not had the flu since (knock on wood). I am 73 years old.

This, so much so. I took the damn flu shot this year just like flipping a coin, full well knowing that it could be sparing me complications from Flu (Pneumonia, etc.) or undermining what health I do have. Lying bastards have been caught in blatant lies so much that we can no longer rely on any authoritative 'source'.

Honestly, the sooner somebody is systematically executed for this crap the sooner it changes. Otherwise, the vigilante assassination of the Insurance CEO up in NY was a hint of what is to come.

This is an odd 20yr self bump by SA. Why now, and what was her take on the COVID vaxx in the elderly (and general)?

I last had the flu at the end of 1999/start of 2000, Y2K. I have never been that sick in my life, I missed two weeks of work and at one point I literally prayed for death. COVID was a pimple on the arse compared to that.

Since then, I have gotten the flu shot every year and knock on wood have not had another case, which is a concern as I approach my 70s. I have taken it knowing up front that it’s not going to provide me metaphysically certain protection. I’ve looked at it as a simple question of mathematical odds. If it gives me 10% protection, 10% is better than 0.

And I have never, and will never, support forcing anyone to take it or any other vaccine if they don’t want to. I expect reciprocity in return, don’t try to force me not to take it.

Bad data. Flu shots have worked well in preventing serious illness. Each season it’s a matter of predicting which strain we should be most concerned about. That’s what epidemiologists do.

I get the flu shot every year. Most years, I don’t get it. If I do, symptoms are much much milder.

The flu shot is 100% effective!

It may not protect you from the flu BUT it 100% effectively makes massive profits annually for the pharmaceutical industry!

I work in a hospital and see it every year...the workers who get the flu shot inevitably get sick with the flu consistently. I quit taking that garbage long ago and don't get sick with the flu.

Well, I guess I shouldn't be observant and just take the useless shot every year like the rest of the sheep and get sick I suppose. Lol

Being stupid is rigorous too

Was forced to take one for 20 yrs in the service. Have not taken one since, more than 18 yrs ago.

I don't recall ever even having the flu as a kid.

Some people will believe that men can be women, if they say so and the 'authorities' agree.

Regardless, what we now know re the WEF and their Totalitarian Globalist intent re control and depopulation, I will NEVER trust any supposed 'authority' again. Don't mean I won't take a vac, but I will consider first person testimony such as yours, GA. Thanks.

Sidenote: Wife at 82 has never taken any vaccine. She's as healthy as me at 74.

Flu vaccines likely don't work as well in people over age 65. Because of weakened immune systems (often due to aging).

Less effective =/= Don’t work

Flu vaccination is especially important for people 65 years and older because they are at higher risk of developing serious flu complications.

Super. You do you, I will not impede your right to say no. Don’t impede my right to say yes because I want to do me.
