While it may be fine and safe, if you look at the data from the last 15 years, it's averaged 40% effectiveness. Again that's the average which means some years it's only been 10% effective. It's pretty useless. Compound that with then needing to take it every year and the possible side effects if you read the insert, the risks far outweigh the small chance of reward.
It’s your choice. If it’s 10% effective some years that means it 80% effective others. If it can help limit the possibility of developing pneumonia in older and immuno-compromised individuals, I think any risk factor reduction is helpful.
A healthy person with a healthy immune system shouldn't need a man-made shot with who knows what's in it to avoid the flu IMHO. The body is a perfectly designed machine that heals itself if given the chance. Never had a flu shot, never had the flu. Getting colds now only since I've been wearing the fauxvid required mask at work. What's my secret(and I'm nearing 60), never take medicine! Maybe an aspirin occasionally for a headache. Not perfect, but seems to be working for me!
If the body was a perfect machine that heals itself why was the average life expectancy of people only 41 years 300 years ago? Do you think we just got lucky that the life expectancy has increased nearly 30 years? It’s not evolution because evolution takes thousands of years, it is all because of modern medicine and the eradication of high mortality diseases like polio and small pox.
You can hate vaccines, that’s fine but to pretend that they haven’t had any positive impact on society and lifespan is just being ignorant.

Wasn't hating or pretending, but thanks for the insult. Hit a nerve or are you just always rude like that? Much love!
