Herd Immunity. . .you should thank all those co-workers over the years who got their flu shots. Even though you were too self-centered to risk a shot, all those others who did protected you, too. Hope you do not get the flu and pass it along to an at-risk infant or senior citizen

This is simply gibberish. Those that don't get flu shots are generally the ones not getting the flu, and it's not because "others protected them". They are simply healthier people. I've known more people who get flu shots that get sick regularly.

The shot works for most. Most that have had a good dose of the flu NEVER want it again. 1st time I had it I was in bed for about 7 days feeling like CRAP. Took weeks to fully recover. 2nd time years later I expected repeat & got nothing nearly as bad..

friend got G-B in Sept after flu shot. Was medevac’d to bigger hospital, missed month of work, still using a cane
-
Ok so one person got sick and was probably allergic. Doctors the experts still say a flu shot is good especially for the young and old
-
Anyone opposed to flu shots should study the 1918 Flu Outbreak. The amount of deaths was worse than wars. 500 Million infected/50-100 Million dead..
-
I understand the dangers of the flu. Most people have never had it, had a mild virus. That said, there is a risk of G-B that science should explore.
-
Definitely agree. I always hope science can solve our serious medical problems..

Your immune system is stronger without vaccines I've only had the flu a couple of times since 1976 and it was mild

Agree I’ll stick to not getting the shot. The shot is a guess every year

Immunization is scary business. I refuse all. The risk is worse than the disease.

My experience just the opposite. Twice I got the shot and got very sick both times.

I've never had a flu shot either. Usually have a little Spring cold, but nothing like the flu. Prefer to let my own immunity system work for me.

I’ve never had a flu shot and never had the flu either. Silly people thinking injecting toxic chemicals is the answer. So clueless. It’s called an immune system. Pro Tip: anything relating to Big Pharma HURTS YOU. Also, the flu lasts for about 24 hours

I have a compromised immune system due to RA so I'd rather be safe than sorry!

I fall into the same category for the same reason...

I've never taken a flu shot either. I did catch the flu at least twice in my life, and it is miserable, but I will never take a flu shot. Not as long as I have anything to say about it.

Ever time I have had a flu shot I get the flu and stay sick until spring. I am much healthier when I don't get a flu shot.
