The flu vaccine contains thimerosal
Only the multi dose vial.
The single dose shot and nasal mist versions don't.

No. Used to
This. Much more vax skeptical these days but I did get the shingles vax last year. I've known too many people that got it that I took my chances on that vax.

I had never taken the flu shot in my life. Never got the flu except for maybe once or twice as a kid. I wanna say it was 2019 where we were having a really bad flu season and they were giving the flu shots out at work for all employees. I decided to take it. Caught the flu about a month later. Never took it again. Never will.

No. Never have. I had flu once about 8 years ago at 50 yrs old. Won’t lie, it was rough for a week and a real bitch for first 2-3 days. I could barely lift my head off a pillow. Weak. Achy head to toe. Bad cough. Lost like 5 pounds from not eating much. I was a runner, into fitness and lifting so I was pretty healthy. It surprised me.
For the time being, with one occurrence in 60 years I don’t see the need for a shot that’s not even guaranteed effective year to year.

No, I've only ever gotten two flu shots, once was during covid. I had a close friend die from it and my wife freaked so I got the Pfizer shots. I really regret it now.
Nothing since.

I got it
But I’ve got huge fricking tonsils that need to be removed. I’ve had strep throat 3 times in the last 90 days.

I got it this year but ascension healthcare requires it to enter their facility as a rep.

No. Used to when I was in the military and it was required.

I also haven’t caught the flu in 15 years

I don’t think I’ve gotten one in the last 7 years or so.
Got one in 2021 and one last year. Probably the first two shots I have had in about 55 years. Come to find out the shot I got in '21, come to find out it was only 30% effective. Last year, After geting the shot I asked the nurse if it was a different vaccine from '21 since it was a different strain of flu in'22. She said it was the same shot.
No damn wonder the effiency rate for the shot is abysmal. I'm passing on the jab this year.

No. Not worth them slipping you a Covid shot “by mistake”
Posted on 12/12/23 at 5:03 pm to momentoftruth87
No. 1 time I got it in 40 years. Not now not ever gain
Posted on 12/12/23 at 5:06 pm to momentoftruth87
No. And I haven’t had the flu in at least 6 or 7 years despite having two kids in school.

Took one YEARS ago then I saw Bill Gates mentioning population control via vaccines and that was all it took. They may get me but it won't be when I know it.

Honestly this is one of the reasons why I declined it at the VA. I don’t trust them at all, not my primary but the govt system.

Possibly had one in Jr High? Been over 30 years since I bothered.

Never have, never will.
