I'd recommend reading this Cochrane Review (gold standard of reviews, apparently) before you settle on a decision. There's a reason so many NHS workers refuse the flu jab, despite the inordinate level of pressure imposed upon them. > https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD001269.pub6/full …

I think it is a matter of mentality - like so many things in medicine

Evidence based mentality? That's a new one...

No, there are people who would do things when there is a 5% probability of benefit. And people who want 99%.

Accepted, but probability is a fluid concept in such a blatantly unscientific environment. As much probability of harm as benefit, potentially. I'll stop now though. I'm pretty sure
@nw_nicholas could live without a flu jab debate filling his timeline any further. :)1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I have 2 friends going through breast cancer treatment at the mo, very similar cancers/stages, presented with same evidence ( both in same service), different reactions. "Gimme everything" vs. "prove the benefit to me". I agree though that in general there is a lot of spin.

Ok... 1 last tweet. I have a vaccine damaged son. Proof of benefit & safety was what I set out find, belatedly. I sadly found neither. I'm with your 2nd friend now - benefits need to be proven. Scientifically. But they're not. Best wishes to both of your friends btw. So sorry.
