Flu Shots are for Idiots

As much as I absolutely hate to agree with BS on anything Ive never had a flu shot and never will I think they are useless.
 
Well, flu shots are a bit different. The vaccine that is produced (or at least distributed) year to year is based on what the dominant strains of influenza that will be going around are speculated to be. Sometimes they get it wrong and the strain that’s hitting people the hardest isn’t one of the ones they thought, in which case, yes they are useless. They’re certainly not useless against the strains they’re designed to fight, though. That’s not the fault of the vaccine, though. That’s human error. Also, Sleazy thinks they cause autism (they do not).
 
Unless the flu shot becomes part of an official immunization list such as this http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/immunization/ispa.aspx I am not taking it, simple as day.

I also don’t remember the last time I had the flu and I never get the flu shot. Maybe growing up on a farm and playing with goats, chickens, rabbits, ducks and cows helped build my immunity. So why da fuck should I take it, so I don’t spread it, so others don’t get infected because me? So for that rare chance I do get it that it protects me...please I had a house full of people on the flu and I still don’t get it.

Yeah fuck the flu shot. Although that’s not cool to say flu shots are for idiots. Some people are weaker and need it.

Flu shot is not for everyone and stop shoving it down people’s throats.
 
People's minds may change if they ever spend time around vulnerable people like the elderly and infants. 4 or 5 days being sick aren't a big deal, killing one of your relatives by passing them the flu sure is.

Wise men learn from the mistakes of others. They know they will not live long enough to make them all themselves.

Some people have to learn everything first hand themselves.

So let me understand this.... you believe in the principle of building immunity by exposure.

And by extension you think that your youthful -ahem- dalliances with farm animals, has conferred lifetime immunity from the latest strains of influenza? Do goats and cows even get influenza? :confused:

If your theory is proven, then Welsh shepherds and Turkish goat herders might hold the key to immortality!

Well I never known anyone with TB, measles, or small pox, diptheria, tetanus, or Hep A b or C.....so I'm safe. And I'd know by looking at them.

Why should people who have had the flu shot care if others don't get it? If it's effective you have nothing to fear. If it isn't then they were right not to get it.

And do you want politicians like Trudeau and Trump forcing you to get mandatory shots?

?

Because you are relying on the heard be vaccinated to protect you. I'm not so much worried by the flu but diseases that have been eradicated by modern medicine are making a comeback due to so many idiots not vaccinating their children.

No I'm not.

Why are you so afraid of these diseases that you are supposedly protected from? And if they have been eradicated, how is it possible for them to make a comeback?
