Barrold,
Not sure which is worse; ignorance or arrogance.
The flu shots are not 100% effective. Modern medicine is not 100% effective. It is not guaranteed that if you get a flu shot you won't get the flu. We are told, even by the media that one must be their own health advocate. There are some wonderful doctors, yet there are also some quacks out there.
Did you even bother reading the thread or my posts? I myself stated that it is possible to get the flu despite having the flu shot. What I have said repeatedly is that the flu shot cannot give you the flu. There's a huge difference between the two things. Yeah you should be your own health advocate but that's dangerous if it is done out of ignorance (ie a ton of people in this thread).
I'd rather be arrogant than stupid any day of the week.
