Interesting. I never had the flu before, not sure how bad it really is. I didn't get flu shots as a kid but now that I sometimes work in a hospital I have to get flu shots once a year and usually when I do I get sick for a few days and it's miserable.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

A couple years ago when I got a flu shot it gave me the flu. The full blown flu, not flu like symptoms. I was puking and in bed with fever and bad headache for a good 3 days, beat to my knees the whole time. I'll never get a flu shot again. I paid $35 to be infected with the flu and miss a week of work. Fuck that!

I was forced to get mine because of school so yeah I got it. Never having the flu isn't really healthy. Kind of like never having the chicken pox isn't healthy either. If you randomly get it later on in life it could be devastating to your immune system to not have the anitbodies locked into attack mode.

Yeah, only if they accurately predict which particular strain of the flu is going to be the most common. Flu shots are gross, and I will never have one.

This is a total myth. What you are talking about is Shingles, and you can only get it if you already had chicken pox.
its the opposite of what you think.

First couple articles I pulled up said that if you contact chicken pox as an older adult the symptoms can be more severe but I think a lot of people blow it out of proportion.

Not a myth at all bro. The reasons babies die from the flu is because their immune systems don't have the equipped antibodies. The occurrence of the shingles from chickenpox is from a weak immune system. That is also why I said "is kind of like"..

Or you could just take the chicken pox vaccine and never have to worry about that or shingles...

If you randomly get it later on in life it could be devastating to your immune system to not have the anitbodies locked into attack mode.
Also I know you're not talking literally about anti-bodies locked into attack mode, but I have an autoimmune disease which basically means my antibodies are constantly in attack mode and slowly eating away at my thyroid, and it's made me appreciate how complex an immune system is and how difficult it can be to manipulate it or treat autoimmune issues(everything that claims it 'boosts your immune system' is very much a confirmed waste of money).
The flu can fuck some people over(Very old people, very young children, people with compromised immune systems) and those people should obviously be getting it, as well as anyone working around them. Most people have a normal, non-compromised system, and that means that it's not gonna be whacked out of balance by something like a flu shot. The virus mutates every year and it's not like chickenpox, you're getting a different batch of said vaccination every year for a reason, and because it mutates you can have a healthy immune system, have no issue fighting it off relatively quick, and still get the following years mutated flu and end up dealing with the flu almost every year(or you could be one of those people who just never seem to get it period) and just not want to chance having to deal with it again - that's why I get it.
