When I see people pretending the shot is more harmful than catching the flu, I'm compelled to point out that it's total BS.
You don't seem compelled to give any evidence to support your position. How many people have received the vaccine and how many people have contracted the flu. With that we can calculate a percentage relative to each that have died.

How many people have received the vaccine and how many people have contracted the flu.
The flu shot is 70 to 90 percent effective in those under 65. That rate drops to as low as 50 percent as you get above 65. link
However, those over 65 should still get the shot if they aren't allergic to ggs, because they are an at risk group (disproportionately killed by the flu in a normal flu season.)
