re: Why get the flu shot if you’re not elderly, sick, or work with the elderly and sick?

I have ZERO flu shots in my days, don't plan on starting now....and only had the flu once.
People with healthy immune systems are good to go....FLU, COVID, .....
100% true. Looks like some cuck down voted you for saying something that is actually factual.

Worst two bouts with flu occurred after getting the flu shot. No more flu shot for me.

Last time I had the flu … and I was in my 40s and quite healthy … I missed two weeks of work and was so sick at one point that I literally prayed for death. Over the roughly two decades since then, I have gotten the flu shot every year in hopes of preventing a repeat of that. And there have been no repeats.
I’ve made that as a rational decision considering the mathematical odds, fully understanding that the flu shot never provides 100% protection but that mathematically, 50% protection (just as a number out of the blue) is better than 0% protection.
The thing is, I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do. I don’t tell anyone else what they gotta or oughta do.

don’t get why everyone else dutifully lines up for the shot. First, it’s hit or miss whether they correctly guess the flu variant that year. Second, the flu isn’t that bad. It’s just a few days of discomfort. You’re getting chemicals injected into you just to avoid a runny nose, aches, and fever. Let your body do its job. Refuse the flu and Covid jabs.
Flu? What flu? Covid19 has destroyed the seasonal flu viruses.
