Quoted from Wickerman2:

Yes. I believe in facts and science.
You don't get one, you can be a carrier and literally kill a kid or old person or other immunocompromised individual, not to mention you are driving up health care costs by making people sick. Bad all around to skip it. Herd immunity is a real thing. Do it.

Agreed. It is required by my job but I would get one every year regardless for the reasons you stated.

Quoted from jgentry:

They really dont, it's just a discussion with opinions no different then someone that thinks bm66 is great and someone who thinks it sucks.

Well, kind of. Opinions on a good pinball machine can be pretty subjective. Not sure how much that correlates to a public health isdue and whether to get a vaccine each year proven to provide some protection.

know of two people in their 20's that died here locally from last year's strain. The vaccine is hit and miss each year. Last year's largely missed but they said it significantly mitigated the severity if you got it.

It is a misconception that the flu virus is only potentially life threatening for the very young, elderly, or inmunocompromised. Depending on each year's strain, it can be dangerous for healthy and fit individusls as well.
