Or not take them. Many don't get the Flu shots every year. I have never gotten them. I got COVID, it was mild for me, I've had worse seasonal allergy symptoms. I went and got a antibodies test yesterday - awaiting the results to see if I still have them.
It's like that for most people. But every now and then, you draw the short straw and it kills you.
Nearly 600,000 have died in a year. That's a significant number.
