The flu "shot" is not a vaccine, per se. I've never had one, for example, yet I've never had the flu (knock on wood). My wife and kids get one every year and have contracted the flu multiple times. I've mentioned it many times in this thread. I'm as pro-vaccine as anyone else, but again, the flu shot is not a vaccine, or at least not a very effective one. Just saying. Don't come at me with any of your contrarian nonsense on this one!

My first flu shot was when I was in the service in 1972. Three days later I am sick as a dog. Fever, chills, vomiting. I go to the clinic. Doc say go back to the barracks and stay warm.

I tell him we have no heat (true).

He says take hot showers.

I tell him we have no hot water (also true).

So he admits me to the hospital.

Back then they had guys who pushed carts around from room to room offering juice and snacks. God as my witness they made me push that cart. But at least I was warm.

Never got another flu shot until about 5 years ago from a doc who swore one could not get the flu from a flu shot. Haven't had the flu since.

And for the record - technically a flu shot is a vaccine.

Yes, agreed, but not for what we generically call the "flu". Just for specific strains of the flu that may or may not exist during that flu season. That's why it's hit or miss in terms of effectiveness.

No I pretty much pegged both of you as anti vaxxers before this. Not shocking in the least.

Actually, I'm pro-vax for everything aside from the flu shots. I made sure my kids got all the standard shots when they were young (mumps, etc.).

Well thank god for small miracles.

So you won’t get a CV vax either?

No need, CV vax will be put into the chemtrails.

Nope. I've already had it. Don't need it.

And the only reason I quit getting the flu shots when I had the option to not get them is because they were always counter-intuitive in that I ended up getting sick from whereas I ever got sick from any other shot. Had I not keep getting sick from the flu shots, I likely would've keep getting them, at least occasionally.

these posts back to back make even less sense than individually...which is a pretty impressive feat. Nice job.

1) if the flu vaccine works, why do you need to get it every year?
2) my immune system is not compromised and works just fine.

I work in the service industry in Las Vegas. I've gotten PLENTY of vaccinations. You can't work here without them.

One of these things is utterly implausible.

Last I read, they’ve not determined if once you have it you can’t get it again. If I’m a betting man, I’m going to guess just like the flu it will morph to a new strain on a yearly basis.

1. Because the flu changes every year
2. I'm sure viruses see you and go running in the other direction because of how strong your immuno acids are. That's definitely how it works.
