This is now the third winter in a row that I’m refusing to get one.
I'm approaching 71 and had the flu twice in my life, once as a young boy and then at 27. Never had a flu shot but if I get the flu and die this season, I'm never gonna speak to y'all again for bringing this up.

Flu shots...work half the time, don't work half the time...wonder why? I still don't think experts understand the flu...and flu shots are just guess work.
The biggest flu pandemic in US history that killed 100 million people...didn't act like traditional flu.
It killed healthy people. It used your immune system against you.
Most influenza outbreaks disproportionately kill juvenile, elderly, or already weakened patients; in contrast, the 1918 pandemic predominantly killed previously healthy young male adults.
Unless you're 80 years old, getting a flu shot is trusting the government over viruses while injecting you with a little bit of flu - some vacs have a live virus in them too...depends who you get them from.
