My mom is a doctor and swears against taking the flu shot (for her own reasons) so I never took it due to that. Well I’m deffinitely regretting that now😂😂 Not that it’s makes a difference in my scenario but I more so empathize with the fact maybe we all should find protection in a flu shot, so we can at least prevent ourselves from one global sickness out here. So in saying that... not only do I feel you, but I feel for you. but I do wish us a full recovery and health!!! I pray we will be fine 🙏🏽

I agree with your Mom. Avoid the flu shot. The flu shot does not protect you against getting the flu. It only lessens the symptoms, but you will still get the flu. Been there, done that.

Please do not go around telling people to avoid a vaccination that saves countless lives and allows for our healthcare system to remain functioning during flu season. It is a well known fact that the flu vaccine is anywhere from 40 to 60% effective. Without it, you are correct, symptoms are worse and with it you wont get as sick. Thousands of people die every year from it. Most unvaccinated. Not only does it protect from severe illness, hospitalization, or dying from the disease, but it is also important for herd immunity to prevent illness in vulnerable populations. You may get it and be fine, but you could pass your infection to someone who has cancer, an autoimmune disease, or the old or you who are especially vulnerable. Truly, GET YOUR DAMN FLU SHOT PEOPLE. Why wouldn’t you want to protect yourself AND MORE IMPORTANTLY OTHERS from dying???? Absolutely mind boggling how ignorant you and this comment are.

But, I don't know why those against what you say are all of a sudden boiling with bitterness. It could be as simple as they don't believe you're right.

Lol. Facts. You literally said in your own post it reduces the severity of the flu. This is one of the many reasons you should get the flu shot....? Haha but if I’m ignorant then the world is pretty much screwed. You have PhD in chemistry? Are you currently working on developing a point of care diagnostic test for the novel coronavirus? Didn’t think so. BYE.

I believed it all: that 9-11 was faked, that celebrities have to blood sacrifice loved ones, that they put fuoride in water to dumb is down, that there is a secret plan to reduce the population and form a new world order, that top politicians are really shape shifting reptilians, that the moon landing was faked because the video shows no stars in the sky and the flag was blowing when there should have been no wind, that the earth is flat(even though i can see the moon and the sun and they seem round to me) and ofcourse that vaccines are more harmful than helpful with deliberate secret ingredients to harm us. I looked into all this for yrs and there was nothing anyone could tell me to make me see otherwise. I had to expand and come to my own sense in my own time. So in return, I judge no one for their beliefs. All i will say is that we are victims of our own success. Because so many ppl got vaccinated, issues like measles and polio became almost non existent, and almost an entire generation grew up not knowing how awful these diseases were. Because it hasnt been much of a scare, we got complacent with the vaccines which is why measles came back on the warpath again recently. I have known many ppl, including close relatives who show disdain for the medical profession choosing natural remedies, and it is unfortunately only when the cancer has spread too far and the alternative methods fail, they ( in this case a dear aunt I loved), decided to come back to traditional medicine when it was too late. She died yrs ago. If there really was a conspiracy to put things in the vaccine to hurt us deliberately, we wouldnt be able to escape it. They could put the same ‘ingredients’ in our water, in the organic food we buy at organic supermarkets thinking those are safe, as well as in our vitamins and supplements. If i were to ever have a child who yrs down the road asks me why I never vaccinated him or her so that he/ she wouldnt have gotten polio, I would never forgive myself. When we are sick we run to the doctor. When we need life saving surgery we run to the ER, yet we classify the same doctors as evil and deceived when they recommend vaccination. As I always say, human nature is an amazing thing and we hold on to amazing beliefs. Some ppl, very intelligent professional people at that, actually choose to believe the corona virus was unleashed to stop Trump’s second term: Meaning, China and Italy bought in to this and agreed to murder thousands of ppl just to stop Trump. Some people , very brilliant and well meaning people, also believe that the virus only harms white ppl and doesnt affect blacks. Poor Idris Elba had to come out with a video dispelling this nonsense even before he himself has fully recovered(the death toll is rising in the caribbean).Human nature is powerful and our belief system is amazing. Many ppl reading this now are boiling with bitterness because im defending vaccination when there are hundreds of double blind studies across the globe confirming its life saving effects! Human nature is amazing indeed!! And let me not even get started with religious beliefs. There is one particular christian denomination in which the founder twice predicted the date Christ would return and was ofcourse twice wrong, and the same bible they read from states that no man knows the day nor the hour. Yet, this denomination continues to have worldwide support by many intelligent intellectuals, far more brilliant than a hundred of me put together. Yet they choose to hold to this belief system. Human nature is an amazing thing indeed!

The only person on here saying you shouldn’t get vaccinated is @hornetkick. Yes I am bitter toward those that go around telling people not to get vaccinated like they did in the post I responded to...

I never said to not get vaccinated. I said to avoid the flu shot.
