For years I hated any unnecessary medicine including headache tablets, flu vaccines etc. Many years ago trusted doctor convinced me we should all get flu vaccines. I got flu a couple of times only after that, but before that I hadnt had any flu since I was a child. Never made the connection at that time.
The vax typically is against 4 strains, out of the 100+ that are in circulation any given year. The likelihood of the flu vax protecting against the strain you have is very low. The risk of the vax is higher than the value of any protection you might get.
Vaccines are like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf". Vaccines routinely 'fool' your body which after a time discovers the threat isn't real and stops reacting, hence boosters. Over time your body becomes fatigued and reacts to actual pathogens less enthusiastically subjecting you to disease.
February 2001 was the only year I ever got the flu. Sick as a dog, "sleeping" on the floor by the toilet...Dec 2000 was the only flu shot I ever took in my adult life.
Sounds like "anecdotal evidence", when it's somebody else. To me, it's learning from experience.
No because I've gotten the flu some years long before I ever tried a flu shot. The two times I got the flu shot I got the flu for sure that winter, when I didn't get it the next year I had maybe a 1/4 chance of flu since then. I actually went flu free for almost exactly two years after having the OG strain of COVID in November 2019. I keep my zinc levels up and the last flu only bothered me for a few days.
The fact that we’re still having this conversation makes me sad 😢
No frighin kidding , I don’t even give my dogs this poison !
Don't take anything that's not natural. NO vax's for you or your pets and you'll live longer & healthier lives.
Let food be thy medicine...
Now apply the Fact that the CDC called 'covid', The Flu on their own site. SO, why was the flu shot NOT made to Fit?

Same for hubby and me.
Never got a flu shot, never got the flu. Here’s one piece of anecdotal evidence.
Just say no to needles I think.
Flu shots were just delivered to our clinic. I’m guessing flu will explode next week.
Discuss all you want, fact is they are not effective for anything except making money.

I have never had a flu vaxx and have never had flu.

At best it’s 30% effective and it takes over 10,000 doses to statistically save 1 life. It doesn’t make sense to take it.

Yes.
1: Give a bunch of people flu shots.
2: Those people come down with the flu and spread it to everyone they know.
3: BOY THIS FLU SEASON WAS TERRIBLE!
