I question the wisdom of vaccination against the cdc’s latest flu-of-the-season. But, then again, since I’m allergic to every pollen ever invented, I’m not really sure any vaccines will help.
Notwithstanding all the nonsense , vaccines have been responsible for eradicating diseases that in the past killed or crippled millions on millions of people worldwide. There is always a tiny risk whenever a vaccine is given but the benefits far far outweigh the risks, not only to the individual but to the society as a whole. Keep in mind that herd immunity decreases, and the risk to the entire population thus increases, when individuals opt not to get vaccinated. Thus, it truly is not an individual choice affecting no one else but the individual that refuses to get vaccinated.
