I agree with you. I am off to get my flu shot today. I've had both of the pneumonia shots and also the shingles shots. Also, they don't use a live virus for the flu shot anymore, so it prevents anyone from getting the flu after they've had the shot./——/ At 66 I got my first flu shot followed by the Pneumococcal pneumonia 2 weeks later. This year I got the flu shot and follow up pneumonia booster. I’m not young and strong anymore and getting sick is more dangerous than ever before. Why take any chances?Some people? What % would that be? MOST people, esp. children and the elderly benefit, not to mention school days and work days lost when nearly everyone comes down with it. Considering that it's free under most insurance plans, not getting it doesn't make sense.There they go again, trying to get everyone to get flu shots. Trying to scare people into it… Why don’t they just leave it alone and let people choose for themselves. Some people get no benefit from full shots, Some people get incredibly sick from the flu shots. And more importantly some people just don’t want to shit… People need to mind their own fucking business
Still a person's choice
I have never gotten a flu shot and don't plan on it any time soon I can count the number of times I've actually had the flu in the past 25 years on 2 fingers
I wonder how many here have had chicken pox as a kid. I also wonder if they know that if they did have it, then their bodies have the virus that causes shingles. It stays latent until it manifests into shingles. My great Aunt had them and I still remember the misery she went through with them. I've also read testimonies of people who had them and I'll take every shot that they put out to avoid getting them. Same with pneumonia.
