I was not anti-vax. When flue shots came out I said, Why get a shot for something that I always recover from on my own? So never got the flu shot. I thought it was odd how everybody was lining up for it for years, and then often reported that they still got the flu.
When covid came along and the recovery rate was about the same as not getting hit by lightning, I said no. When they started the hysterical push trying to force people to get it, I said HELL NO!
Now I am vehemently anti-vax. I will never get a jab for anything, not even tetanus.
100%! I worked as a contractor in a government facility. Every year they all lined up for their free flu shots and every year they all got sick. Too stupid to connect the dots.
When flu shots came around, I said what’s in it? Then I asked what strain of flu it protects against, because there are loads of strains of flu. Then I rejected the whole idea as being dumb, and possibly evil.
I got a flu shot a few times 20 years ago. But I still ended up getting the flu. I chalked it up to "they didn't guess the right strain this year" but after falling for it a few times, my doctor told me this:
"You don't need those shots. Just strengthen your immune system. If you take 5-10K IU of D3 every day you won't get the flu or cancer. In fact someday those will be considered to be D3 deficiency diseases."
Since he told me that, I stopped getting the flu shots and I haven't had the flu for 20 years. When I got Covid, it was just a mild sore throat that lasted 2 days. (And loss of smell for 2 weeks...)
I still almost got the HPV vaccine (I'm a 40s male) so I still believed in vaccines until the last 2 years caused me to absolutely lose all faith in the current system. The general concept of vaccination may be sound, but the implementation is perverted by moral hazard in the system and cannot be trusted.

I tried the flu shot two times because it was free at work and both times I got the flu way more frequently than normal for several months.
