(+) Yeah! (+)

So many people around say this smh.

Anyways, I have the flu and it sucks shit. I did get the flu shot this year, so I hope I don't have to go through this again for another ten or so years. Last time I had the flu was about 14 years ago.

Ive never gotten a flu shot, and I really cant remember the last time I had the flu.

I only get da flu shot if i have my yearly doctors appointment sround flu season and she asks if i want it, i can't say no to her, she's hot

I've never taken a flu shot. Haven't gotten the flu in years, probably due to my aversion to people.

It should be considered legal and a civic duty to punch soneone the fuck out when they say that.

I feel like it would be wrong to lump statements like that in with the general anti-vaxer movement.

I mean yeah you can technically still get the flu even with the vaccine. They have to make a guess ahead of time on what strains will be circulating when they make the annual version. If you catch a different strain than their assumption, you get sick.

this. staying away from people as much as possible lessens the risk at least from catching it from others.

The lines have been blurred considerably in my area at least.

What they mean by it is that they get the shot and think that the effects of getting the shot are the same as them actually getting the flu.
