Why you'd have to be a complete idiot to take a flu shot

I started getting the flue shot for the last 3 years and I have not had a full out flu for the last 3 years. I used to always get the full out flu at least once a year, now even when I'm around someone who has it and I "catch it" the symptoms are very mild and it never develops into a full out flu. I can feel it it in back of my throat like like it's trying to fully explode but the flu shot fights it off and the next day it's gone completely.

Those are simple cold viruses not flu. With the flu you can expect fever, fatigue, vomiting and diarrhea sometimes at the same time for several days and likely be begging for a hospital.
