The only people that get the flu shot are people that work jobs where they are vulnerable/exposed to people that are more likely to have the flu.

Military folks used to be required to get it every year. Not sure about now.

Crazy to get a flu shot after the Covid vaccine pedaling that was done by government snake oil salesman.

I can’t tell you how many people I run into that get over being sick and complain about how they just got their flu shot. Yet, they’ll get it year after year. All the while, I’ve never gotten the shot and rarely if ever get sick.

Anecdotal but I was the only one in my immediate family of 4 that didn’t get a flu vaccine this year and last … and I got the flu and they didn’t. Absent the loss of taste/smell, the flu was worse than COVID for me.

Is there any evidence that the flu jab benefits them???

That seems reckless from an immune standpoint. The shingles vaccine is notoriously difficult let alone the other two.

Yeah, that dude should probably find another doctor.

When you understand a flu is actually a triggered detox event, injecting more toxins leading to more detoxing just makes perfect sense. I've never had a flu shot, even before I understood this, and since learning it I rarely get a sniffle. When I do, I rest, take in fluids and allow my body to use max energy towards completing the process. No otc meds, nothing. Never felt better in that regard. The germ is nothing, the environment everything.

I last got a flu shot in 2018, and got the flu a few months later. I haven't had it since, not sure why

My dad is in his 80s and has lung issues. His primary care physician told him she will not give him a flu shot again. After he had one in November he spiraled into double pneumonia and she told him the flu shot caused it. 41% effective is not worth the risk.

1). Man tweets out 1 screenshot of a preprint.
2.) Man doesn't link to said preprint tweet to allow for easier review.
3.) PT heralds man as purveyor of unequivocal truth.
