Am I alone in being leery of the flu shot this year?
🗣️ DISCUSSION 💬
I have not gotten the Covid vaccine, it scares the shit out of me. I have a family history of strokes and the last thing I need is blood clots. My husband, unfortunately, sees no issues at all and got the J&J shot in May. Felt like crap for about 24 hours after the shot, but otherwise he has thankfully had no issues.
Now he is off to get the seasonal flu shot. I have in years past gotten the flu shot without a second thought but this year I am reluctant to get it. He thinks I'm nuts but with everything that is going on, I wouldn't put it past anyone to tinker with the flu shot as well right now. Anyone else feeling the same way?
Last time I got a Flu shot was in 2015. I told my current Dr I had a bad reaction and voila, medical exemption. I know a medical exemption is tacit approval that they have the right to require an exemption or negative test but I'll play this thing out until the drop dead deadline of September 30. Then, I'll make them fire me, begin collecting my retirement, and sue their asses.
