Haven’t had a flu shot in 25 years. Haven’t had the flu in 25 years. You do the math.

It is a shitty flu this year and it is running rampant right now.

I find this to be true with colds and stomach bugs--not the flu though. The flu wipes me out and the recovery is small increments that I hardly even notice. 2 months later I can look back and think: "hey, Im fully over that shite".

Two reasons I don’t take the flu shot.
They say it decreases your risk of getting the flu by 100%. What they don’t tell you is it’s a 100% decrease in relative risk. The relative risk of getting the flu is 2%. If you get the shot, that risk goes down to 1%.
That’s not worth spending all the money the government does to provide these shots. That money would be better spent treating at-risk people who do get the flu.
Which leads me to my second reason…drug companies and their lobbyists. The reason the flu shot is so prevalent despite its ineffectiveness is that a lot of people make a lot of money off of it. Period.

There is a reason she feels that way after the vaccine. And it's a good thing because it means her immune system is responding to the shot.

As in Already got it. I used to get the flu often. Been getting flu shots for 25 years or so now and have gotten it once in that time, and it was a mild case. Some people are more susceptible than others. I'm one of the "lucky" ones, I guess. The flu shot has nothing to do with those Covid shots. It's a different process and...it actually works.

It’s a killer
Schools are where it’s passed around and then it comes home
Just stay away from your older relatives or someone compromised

Used to get it every year when they gave it at work free. I used to get sick for a day or 2 every so often from the sho. Moved jobs and haven't had it in 10 years and never got sick.

C. Apparently there is a new MRNA flu shot. Not so sure about that until I read up on it. Anyone looked into the details yet? I have not gotten a flu shot since 2020 at least.

E. Not getting one. Never have had one but not opposed to getting one in the future.

Why don’t you Google it and read for yourself.
Btw, I don’t use either of those things, but that’s not important to you.

Pfizer has cured my need for prevention of the Flu.
Until they are punished, forget it.
