Flu shots are for people with weak immune systems.

My antibodies are like seeker.

Ever since I could refuse the flu shot, I have, and haven't gotten sick. I was in gr 8 when I refused it and the most I get is the common cold.. as for my kids, I would make them get it until they can decide if they want the shot or not.
Other wise, we have our sons 4mos vaccinations coming up

I take a homeopathic flu prevention thing before every fly season and have yet to get the flu. I rarely get sick anyways, the homeopathic thing is my wife's deal. I take it to make her happy.

I have consistently got flu shots my whole life because I have heard all the horror stories that my dad has told me from working at the hospital throughout his life. I don't get the flu and I have never had a bad reaction to the shot. I assume that if the hospitals have a mandatory influenza flu shot policy for all employees that it must have some significance.

Yeah, i'm sure it does but, as my mom has to get the shot too because she's a PSW. A few days later, she's sick as a dog.

I too have never had a flu shot, and have only gotten the flu once in my 35 years of existence.

Studies show that the flu shot doesn't even help you at all do research before you let people inject you. The food we eat and the water we drink is bad enough

That's not accurate at all. there is a shit load of epidemiological evidence demonstrating it's effectiveness.

Vaccine works and is the reason our longevity had increased drastically over the last century.

Not denying vaccines don't work but there's a significant amount of evidence showing the flu vaccine in particular doesn't do much. I'd also argue that antibiotics are the reason out longevity has drastically increase not bc of vaccination :p.

And in this corner....
Let's get it on.

I also read a lack of a flu shot each year can change your personality; making someone more confrontational and leading to street brawls. :)

I got research to back this.

We are forced to get this shot at my work...we had the option to refuse in years past, but now it is a must. Unless you allergic to eggs and/or the preservative that is in it, forgot the name of that....and then you need a doctors note to show that you are....

So I get and always put "UD" after I sign my forms....
