Is "Nah I eat vegetables" an in-joke or something? Every campaigner in the world eats vegetables and the flu persists.

It's manly poor communities that effected by disease. They all have the same thing in common poor nutrition.
The world health organization has oodles of knowledge and records of this spanning centuries. It's a major factor to why indigenous communities are ravaged by disease
I would hope this post if yours is a result of ignorance and not a troll.

My 95% was answering Gough talking about getting measles.
Im aware the fluvax is way less effective than other vaccines, I listened to a professor of immunology (a real one who works for a university not an internet nutjob) discuss it at length just recently.
It equals out as about 50% efficacy overall in preventing catching the influenza strains its made for and should reduce severity of symptoms if you do still catch it, however there is also evidence it can INCREASE the symptoms of other strains it doesnt cover (these strains are rare)
Still well worth it in my opinion.
About the only area in indigenous health that has significantly improved over the past 30 odd years is infant mortality, mainly through vaccination.
Sorry to let such a basic fact utterly destroy your batshit crazy, sociopathic arguments.
I have mine every year!
Had the flu once when I was about 14, and it was probably one of the worst weeks of my life. Definitely better off getting it and at least somewhat reducing the chance.
Definitely possible to feel a bit under the weather afterwards for a couple of days, and sore arm is another potential side effect. I've never felt crap afterwards, but have had a sore, itchy bump at the site some years. Worth it though!

I got it for the first time in my life this year. No side effects except for the little bruise on the injection site.
What prompted me to do so was this: I get a cold or two every year, but once every 2-4 years or so I would get a worse illness with fever, body aches and a dreadful cough that has me sculling cough medicine. This more severe illness takes me away from work for less than a week and I am still able to walk around or even go for a run if I was silly enough to do so. I always assumed it was the flu.
My GP (without doing a swab) said this worse illness is not the flu because if it was, you'd REALLY know about it. I'm confused - why is it so much worse than a regular cold but doesn't knock me flat? Last year in winter I got a bout of this worse illness, for the first time in three years. Annoying but expected. Then this year in autumn I had another bout, almost as bad, only eight months later.
After getting that bloody cough twice in a year and hearing how bad the 2017 flu season was, I got the injection in an attempt to stave off this weird occasional illness which may or may not be influenza.

More NRL players refuse flu vaccination, Raiders seek exemption
The restart of the NRL could be jeopardised as Raiders forwards Sia Soliola, Joe Tapine and Josh Papalli join Titans forward Bryce Cartwright in refusing to sign an unedited version of the vaccination waiver.

The Canberra Raiders will today seek an exemption from the NRL to allow three players to return to training, despite their refusal to get the flu shot.
Key points:
Three Raiders players are understood to be refusing the flu shot on cultural grounds
The flu jab is part of the NRL's strict biosecurity protocols to allow the season to restart
Gold Coast Titans forward Bryce Cartwright also opposed having the flu vaccine
Raiders forwards Sia Soliola, Joe Tapine and Josh Papalii were told to stay away from training yesterday after they refused to sign an unmodified version of the vaccination waiver.
Instead they crossed out the line "that they are at greater risk of getting the flu if they are not vaccinated".
It is understood the trio protested the policy on cultural grounds.
Players agreeing to get the flu jab is part of the NRL's strict biosecurity protocols that were put in place to allow the competition to restart on May 28.

If a young healthy person get the flu or corona it'll probably build their immune system in a couple of days when they get better. No?

many young people cant afford to be bowled over by the flu for a week or so. do you really expect them to say no to a corona virus vax given they "should be ok"?

I've never had a flu shot in my life. I've also never had the flu. Make of that what you will.

Never had a flu shot but have had the flu once. A lot of people mistake a bad cold for the flu.

for a young healthy person, you will likely have less symptoms than the flu. So if you don't need a vax for the flu, why have one for something that is even less of an issue?
regardless, a vax isn't coming for corona in 2020 and may never come. So it's a theoretical debate.
