I love these threads. Brings out the dirtbag parents that don't vaccinate their kids and the ignorant loons that drum up the usual anti-vaxxer talking points. Hopefully, one day, society will start treating these people like lepers. Make them liable in civil court if their kids start contracting whooping cough and bring it to class. Unless you have a legitimate medical reason for not getting a vaccination you are just a dirtbag. My immunization record has 49 entries just going back to 1998, flu shot every year and I've never had the flu.

Your opinion.
What if your medical reason is the mounting evidence that some vaccines DO pose potential dangers. Even if the risk of something like Guillain-Barre is small, everyone should have the freedom to opt out.
FWIW, I know someone who was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre after receiving a flu shot. I know my risks of doing the same is minimal. But it's still a risk I don't want to take.
For something like measels, polio, etc - I accept that vaccinations are a positive. For something like the Flu, which changes constantly and is rarely deadly, I'll take my chances.
FWIW, I've never had the shot OR the flu. Neither has anyone else in my household.

Just an fyi, my kids have gotten all of their vaccines. I'm just tired of the flu vaccine.

There's just as many people that have never had a flu shot that don't get it as well.
My wife gets a flu shot every year. They say a mother who vaccinates yearly usually passes along some immunities to her kids. I'm good with that.
I don't work at a doctors office or hospital, but i don't know anyone that has had the flu in the last 10 years. Colds, yeah, flu, no.
