Getting a flu shot if you're not an old lady or an infant is just stupid. The flu's not going to kill you if you're a healthy young man and you're probably not even going to get it anyway. If you get the shot, it basically gives you an annoying cold for however long and it still might not even block the strain of flu that you'd catch anyway.

I have never gotten one and don't plan to, but the pediatrician convinced us to have our 7-month-old get one, and she got it today. Supposed to get another one in a month as well.

Spoken like someone who has never had the actual flu (influenza). It is [censored] miserable, and will put you flat on your back for a week at least. I would rather not burn all my time off from work laying on the couch praying that someone will break into the house and shoot me.

Plus you're just helping to create new super-strains of influenza.

Some healthy young men died within 24 hours of catching the 1918 flu.

We're just setting ourselves up for some hellish strain of super flu that defies all vaccines and remedies. It's going to happen eventually.

Wrong. Vaccination does not select for superflu bugs. Less replicating flu virus => fewer mutations => vaccination reduces chances of superflu.
