And yet the talking heads on TV news keep telling us over and over that “you should still go and get one”.
Can’t kill off the profit margins in the big Crony Capitalist deal between Big Pharma and Big Government.
Turns out that elderly people who get flu shots have a higher mortality rate than those who don’t.

My mother pushes this for her and me, and I see no difference between years I got it, and years I didn’t. Someone is getting rich off it.
So we paid big bucks for flu shots in October and got a bad case of the flu in December. Thank you for nothing, U.S. medical establishment.
I guess my kids and I are among the 23% then. Wife (no shot) got the flu in December ... we got nothing.
I’ve never had a flu shot. Is that one of those pointy needle things they used to do in the 50’s?
It’s not even that effective as they can never create a shot that can counter the CURRENT strain of flu which always changes each season.
My company pays for ours so it’s a no brainer. unfortunately this year I got the flu. No fun...
If you get the flu demand your doctor order vitamin D3 test...your level should be between 50-70....I would bet every flu case has low vitamin D3 levels.
It could just be a coincidence
I’ve been taking diatomaceous earth for the last six months and when I get that weird feeling in my nose and throat that comes before a cold I rub tea tree oil inside my ears and nose
Normally I’ve had at least two colds and or the flu by now. I did get the flu shot this year and I normally get the flu before I can even get my shot.
I am very happy with the diatomaceous earth
I served 26 years on active duty. At times I felt like a pin cushion. I retired and have not had a shot since. I have also only been sick one time since retiring.
Where I work they offered to give us free flu shots and I passed on it. I was one of the few that didn’t get the flu.
Got the shot, got the flu two days later, then got another strain 6 weeks later...
Not gonna do it again.
I heard someone refer to the CDC as ‘Center for Disease Creation’ on a talk show yesterday...ROTFLMAO!!!
My doctor was just pushing the flu vaccine like crazy this year. I didn’t have the heart to argue with him and tell him its not even effective agains’t the actual flu that’s going around. I just took a pass on it like I do every year.
