All Of Your Reasons To Not Get A Flu Shot Are Horribly Wrong (Also, Really Dangerous)

A lot of people have written in to me to yell about how I am a fraud because I'm helping the CDC and Big Pharma and who knows who else because I advocate that everyone get immunized from the flu. Their arguments range from, "Never got it, never had one" to "Got it, it made me sick" to "It's just a scam to pad the pocketbooks of Big Pharma" — even though most pharmaceutical companies refuse to produce flu vaccines because they don't make them enough profit.  Even if you don't catch the flu, you can still carry it. And you can make other people sick — people who, upon getting the flu, can actually DIE and stuff. The elderly, the young, and pregnant women are all more susceptible to the flu, with symptoms far worse than you're likely to have. The flu vaccine isn't about you. It's about the people AROUND YOU. So learn the facts before making a final decision.
