obviously it’s a personal decision, but I for one have never had a flu shot, or any other vaccine since grade school and I am 64, I also have never been sick since I was 9 when I almost died from the Hong Kong Flu. No colds,sniffles,flu’s,... so I think it depends on how healthy you guys are and do you really need a vaccine with a 20% efficacy rate??

Since the Fauci Flu I have ZERO respect for anyone in the Medical Profession, especially the drug companies pushing vaccines.

Well stated. I remember as a child in the rural Midwest all the grandmothers/mothers would round up the sick kids to have them play together, mumps, measles, chicken pox and those things. FF a half-century and it makes you wonder if that wasn’t the better way. I read today that some kids are getting vaccinated for over 25 things, no wonder many of them are sick and fat.

Yeah. When the government forced doctors to murder people, physicians lost their souls. JMHO They aren’t the same now as they had been before Covid/vaxes.

That is interesting that my background and experience is so opposite from your's.   I have had a flu shot almost every year since 1975 when the first one was administered at a Commander's Call.   After the Attention to Orders, Colonel Joska (RIP) told the Communication Group to stay after we were dismissed, to be administered flu shots.   We wouldn't get out of the auditorium without it.

My wife and I had the first two Covid shots, but on the principle of, fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me, we said never again.   Neither of us got Covid through the Scamdemic, yet I went all over the city without a mask after the first several weeks, here in Georgia.   We also haven't had the flu either.

This is what was on Mayoclinic-dot-org:

In adults and older, healthy children, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) symptoms are mild and typically mimic the common cold. Self-care measures are usually all that's needed to relieve any discomfort.
How did this RSA suddenly turn up when nobody had ever heard of it until recently?   I and my wife are not going to get innoculated ever again.   It's a matter of trust.

“”I also have never been sick since I was 9 when I almost died from the Hong Kong Flu.””

Remember it well. Today we wouldn’t be allowed to call it the Hong Kong flu. My husband and I were so sick in January 1969 with it. We stayed home from work all week. Absolutely miserable and all we could do was get to the kitchen to get oranges out of the fridge and crawl back into bed. Never saw a doctor and other than the shots he’d had in the military, we were both “shotless” for many years.. Don’t remember ever having the flu after that year.

I have COPD and get the flu and pneumonia shots for that reason only - also shingles as I’ve had that and don’t care to get it again. First vaccines I’ve ever had in my 88 years..even growing up when polio was rampant.

I get a lecture from the Pulmonologist because I say NO when he asks if I want the RSV...I’ll see him soon and the conversation will be the same! My pharmacy ALSO reminds me but I don’t get a lecture from them.
