Good example: flu shots - less than 50% effective.
Pushed like crazy.
I've contracted (I never signed for it, why is it "contracted"?) the flu as an adult (over 30) twice or three times (not sure which)
Every time it started on Monday ... after Sunday church.
You have a good point on flu shots and their value. I was ‘forced’ (military requirement) for 22 years to take the flu shot yearly. I probably had the flu on 18 occasions in that period (usually the mild 24-to-48 version). Once I retired, and it’s been almost 20 years now...I avoided the flu shot entirely. I’ve had the 24-hour bug maybe two times in that twenty-year period. So I just don’t buy into the shot being of value.
