I'm not disputing that the flu shot is good and appropriate for some people.

But can anybody tell me why dogs and cats who get vaccinated (for their diseases) every year have a much higher risk of getting cancer?

Probably because their owners take them to the vet more often and subsequently they live longer. Cancer is the little expiration date God put on all His creatures, the longer you live the more likely it is you'll die of cancer.

Are you a dog or cat?

It's appropriate for nearly everyone.
