[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had the shot but still got really sick with the flu[/quote]

But you didn’t die. 
That’s the flu shot working. [/quote]

People who took the shots die of the flu every year. Tens of thousands of them. They just never post the raw numbers so people think they are magic.[/quote]

Seatbelts aren’t magic either, but that doesn’t mean I skip buckling up. Even when the belt irritates my skin.

The “raw numbers” show that the people who are dying and being hospitalized with the flu are overwhelmingly unvaccinated. Kids are nine times more likely to die of the flu if unvaccinated. It doesn’t mean a vaccinated person won’t die or be hospitalized, sadly there are always going to be elderly and immunocompromised people who are going to struggle with any virus, but their odds of survival are greatly improved. Considering how rampant flu is why take an unnecessary chance? If your body tends to overreact to flu vaccines with inactivated virus, the odds are very good your body will also overreact to the real deal which it will absolutely encounter multiple times in the wild.
