Since covid and efficacy showing they didn’t work have you got the flu vaccine?

I don’t think I’ve gotten one in the last 7 years or so.

Smart. Don’t destroy your immune system. Build your immune system up so that you can rely on it.

I've had two flu shots my entire life and those were 10-15 years ago.

On a side note, have you seen the recommended vaxx list for kids?

It's fricking ridiculous.

I used to, but stopped years ago. Each year I got the shot I either got the flu (different strain) or my body reacted to the shot as if it were the flu (fever, coughs, chills, etc), a couple of years I ended up getting sick from the shot AND then got a different flu strain.

I eventually realized that getting the shot meant a 100% chance I was going to get sick, but not getting the shot put me down around 50%.

No. I did once or twice when I was younger, but always got sick afterward. Stopped taking the flu shots and have only had it two or three times over the past 20 plus years.

Yes. You do realize that the flu vaccine and the Covid "vaccine" are different right? The flu vaccine is not mRNA and never has been and has been around for quite some time but you do you.

Never have gotten a flu shot. It's based upon their "best guess" for what strain will be most prolific each year and they're not always correct. And now that they're pushing the hell out of the COVID vax I'm not so sure I trust ANYONE injecting me with ANYTHING. No way to know for certain what it is that they're injecting directly into your body these days.

Never.
Once I found out in a good year the latest flu shot is at best 50% effective I decided probably not worth it. I think I remember reading in a typical flu season the flu shot is around 30-40% effective.
