I had it a couple of times when I was working around a lot of people. Women that had kids carried it work and spread it around. I started taking the shot after a serious bout of flu and took them off and on until two years ago. I haven’t been sick since.

I gave up on the flu and all other vaccines three years ago.
The last one I received was the second Shingles vaccine.

I no longer trust the Pharma corporations. Even though my son is a Scientist at one of them.

My GP doctor never pushed the covid-19 vaccines. However, I am now very skeptical of anything doctors promote now. I no longer follow their advice just because they are “the doctor”.

Flu vaccines are generally effective. I get one every year and haven’t come close to the flu in maybe 30 years. It figures the swamp would want to sabotage a successful program.

I haven’t had a flu vaccine in two years.

Neither me, Used to take the flu vax every year but since Covid and their poison vax's I dont trust it anymore. Flu shots to me were always semi-protective because the A and B strains could have some effect if not the same exact virus. Now, fahgetaboutit.

Hello, allow me to translate what you were told.

Let’s look at the original statement:

“According to my doctors office today, there will be no more standalone flu vaccinations next year. They will be combined with covid.”

The true meaning may not be readily apparent.

What this really means is that a pharmaceutical company representative has bribed your doctor with behind the scenes compensation if he makes everyone take the combo flu+covid vaccine.

This could take the form of a golf trip or something else.

This is a real win for the doctor, improving his quality of life for a small change in the service he provides.

I thought we had conquered the flu during the main Covid scare. The powers that be announced little or no flu while classifying everything as Covid.

Same thing happened to my brother. It was a mild “cold flu thing” for a little less than a week. And he was 66 at the time.

So in other words the COVID Vax will be as useless as a flu shot. Or maybe COVID has become yet another version of the flu. Only reason to combine is because they have become the same thing in severity.

Poor Pfizer. Looks like the gravy train is over.

F*CK Big Pharma!!!!

Those who get the flu shots are those who are easily manipulated.

The flu vaccines have not been more than 10-40% effective for years, at least a decade. For anyone. Why bother? If you do, be sure and wear your mask from now on. ‘Cause that is about the same.

The “flu vaccines” are nearly worthless anyway ...

I'm not someone who took the flu vaccine every single year, but I took it often enough. Until noticing the last two years I got the flu were years I also received the flu vaccine. Decided right then to stop taking the flu vaccine since there seems to be no benefit for me.

"I guess no more flu vaccines for me. Just taking my vitamins and hoping for the best."

Ditto here... I'm at 80 now and have COPD really bad.. But, I absolutely refuse have that COVID shot..

Take your vitamins, stock up on Sambucol, and stay away from people who are coughing

All of my siblings, my daughter, granddaughter, and son-in-law had the entire string of Covid vaxes. They all had Covid within days. They have all been sickly since taking them. They all also get the flu vax.

If I am bitten by a rabid animal, I’ll get a rabies vax. If I need a tetanus shot, I’ll get it. I am NOT taking vaxes for the flu or covid anymore. I think they kill your immune system to the point that you catch more viruses than if you didn’t take them.

When I was a faceless happy cog in a megacorp they used to come in and give flu shots every year. I would get it because I have lung problems. Every year I would get sick at least twice.

I quit getting the shot because I now work for me and I was certainly not going to have a nurse come in and give me a shot. I am generally healthy (aside from the breathing thing) so I did not notice that flu shot season came and passed and I did not get a vaccine. It was not until spring when I called in to get my prescription renewed for my inhaler and do my annual medical exam that I realize that was the first year I had not had the flu in decades.

I decided to run an experiment and deliberately not get the shot the following year. Same thing, did not get the flu. Got my spring crud as normal but not the flu.

In the decade since I have gotten the flu maybe five times which is a 75% decrease and I am working with the public more so I should have gotten it more.

My experience only, make up your own mind.
