I live in Appalachia

Flu shot has like 2% efficacy

I've been exposed to so many parasites, bacteria and viruses that father nurgle would have some trouble getting a blessing to take hold

the reason people do not vaccinate against the flu is very obvious. a) you vaccinate one type, you get another. b) you vaccinate this year, your "immunity" is worthless next year. c) the vaccine is often not effective against any flu in that season.

And yes I have had nematodes. No it isn't pleasant

@NRIII 2.3% is the infection rate without vaccination. 0.9% with vaccination.
@Greasy "b) you vaccinate this year, your "immunity" is worthless next year." bahahahahahahaha LOL

@Greasy It's several strains in one shot, but it still isn't that effective

what do you mean "infection rate" of flu

ffs

Are you actually retarded

Wait

Dont answer that

If you're vaccinated, you get infected with an 0.9% chance. If you're unvaccinated, you get infected with a 2.3% chance.

We know the answer

That's "infection rate"

vaccine efficacy

in teh package insert

very low

Wrong

oh yeah I said I was gonna ignore the troll, will be easier if I block

cya

Flu vaccine is 60% effective

lmaop

High school biology was a mistake

60% effective at making you sick

Holy shit we got a conspiritard

You get people like Greasy who think they understand pathogens because they went over a textbook chapter on viruses

to answer the people that are not retarded trolls, you don't get infection rates for flu because the general popluation does not report getting infected with the flu. hell, I have it right now.

my body my choice , right?

I don't get the flu shot because I like to exercise my immune system from time to time <:BIGBRAIN:501101491428392991>

hahaha not "retarded trolls"
All three of the statements you made earlier were false. Calling us "retarded trolls" is a reach <:Veemote:501103628883591188>

@Malac you're the one coming in here like "oh I understand that there's a reasonable chance that millions will die, but it wouldn't be reasonable to say you're at risk of dying". your understanding may be valid or it may not be, but your reasoning is clearly flawed

@Greasy I understand a million boomers will perish. Yes

And?

My demographic is very low chance at dying

Vaccines don't weaken your immune system. Not short-term, not long-term.
The opposite is true, it strengthens it, and not only against the virus that you're vaccinating against.

All good for me because I'll get a cheap, good quality home

Vaccines are literally training for your immune system.

yeah like somewhere between 1/100 and 1/10000. dunno if I'd like to chance those odds, also I've got family you know? kinda want to worry about not infecting them

It's like your immune system gets a good workout.

@Greasy You wont matter when it comes to infecting them
