My wife and I are excellent test cases for the flu shot.
She has gotten it every year for decades, and I have never gotten it.
She has gotten the flu more often than I have—and the severity has been about the same.
Conclusion: The flu shot is basically worthless.
I had read some time ago that they are wanting to make the flu shots MRNA type shots as well. I don't know if they have, or if they still plan to do that; but, I will not be taking a flu shot ever again, just to be safe.
You’re right - I have had the same observation - not my wife, who also never took a flu shot. But with friends and family who have and can’t claim any demonstrable statistical health advantage whatsoever.
This has led me to another profound observation as well:
The flu shots have been around for decades, right? With hundreds of millions of test subjects taking them and hundreds of millions of people not taking them. Yet, with all this wealth of data available for statistical analyze, have you ever seen a single study proving flu shots make a difference?
If the data showed they protect people from the flu, wouldn’t Big Pharma be shouting it from the rooftops in order to sell their shots? Of course they would.
Yet, I have not seen any such statistical proof - which can mean only one thing.
