Flu shots: Yay or Nay?

[Lycanthrope]

still doesn't make it good, I could with the same thinking stick my hand each month onto a hot plate as it doesn't kill me...

Well, it'd kill any germs on your hands, at least

exactly my thoughts.

Well, don't get me wrong, if there's ever a need to take a vaccine then sure, I have no problem with that. But for flu? People get ill once in a while, it's normal.

Also, I don't get ill often enough (or long enough) to justify any kind of flu vaccine. Hell, the last two times I've been ill were both due to bacterial infections (yay sore throat ) that required antibiotics. Flu shot would've been useless.

My last viral infection, that I can think of? Two or three years ago.

If you get ill often, it's time to rethink your diet or lifestyle more than whether or not a flu shot is a good idea

Had it last year. I think it did the job of dumbing down all serious colds and flu.

Never had it, got over the flu a few weeks ago and now I'm sick again, so, so much for antibodies

Probably a different strain, and that's why shots won't help.

Got the flu shot last year and it made me sick as a dog.
Going to pass on getting the flu shots this year.

Whats wrong with making money if people are willing to pay for it? :P

[Strategist01]

Nah, I don't get them. I hardly ever get sick, and when I do, it clears up in like 3 days.

I'd also save the stocks for people who really need them, like the elderly, small children or those people with heart problems

I got it twice and both times I still got sick. So not wasting my money and time on that.
