This will be the first year I ever get a flu shot

I’m allergic to what’s in the flu shot so that’s a big no for me!

Not me Never had one Never get the flu.

The expectation is that this year is going to be bad in terms of the flu. Pair that with an already strained healthcare system, and you get a nightmare scenario. We could avoid it if people were taking proper precautions to avoid COVID-19 (masking, distancing, and filtration), but we can see how well that is going.

No. I haven't gotten a flu shot since my senior year at high school. I work for myself, so I'm not around people very often. My chances of getting the flu are very low.

I’ve never had one either,but I’m thinking about it.

Definitely. We get them every year. My PCP has recommended that I wait until the end of October for the best "coverage" during the peak season.

Haven't had a flu shot for a couple of years already.

I dont plan to, but I dont go too many places in the winter

I never got the flu shot and I do not remember the last time I had the flu or was even sick,

Hmmm. Because of my allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic sinusitis, and susceptibility to develop asthmatic bronchitis, conjunctivitis, laryngitis, and other itises on top of my allergic rhinitis, asthma, chronic sinusitis, my doctors have always advised me to not get the flu shot or any other vaccine like it. For that reason and that reason alone, I was not going to get the COVID vaccine. But, because I live in an age-restricted apartment complex I did risk my life so brainwashed CNN and MSNBC watching germophobic xenophobes could get back to living their lives again. But, I will continue to follow my doctors' orders and never get a flu vaccine. And yes, I know how bad the flu can be. I lived three different bouts of it in three different decades of my adult life. I couldn't even lift my head off the pillow, let alone get out of bed. But family members who survived the Spanish Flu taught me, my parents, and my grandparents, how to survive. So, I do, and I don't even need Don Lemon, Anthony Fauci, or Rochelle Walensky to help me do it. Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, and Kennedy don't help me either. I don't get my medical information from cable news, and I bet your mother doesn't either. I get my medical news information from my primary care physician, my cousins who are physicians, or from my niece, who is pre-med. But, I digress. Yes, there are some Democrats as well as Republicans who are refusing to be vaccinated for political reasons. But, some people are doing so for religious reasons and health reasons. Given those last two reasons, and the fact that before the election, Biden, and Harris contributed to vaccine hesitancy when they were caught on video stating that they would not take the vaccine if Trump was associated with it, don't you think it is high time Democrats stop trash-talking Republicans, Conservatives, and Donald Trump and started focusing on their own lives instead? I mean, seriously. It's okay to not like Donald Trump. I don't like Joe Biden. I have never liked Joe Biden. But, I even now I don't let the man live rent-free in my head. So, why do those of you who do not like Donald trump continue to let him stay in yours? Is it really how you feel or are you parroting what you have hears on CNN, MSNBC, PBS...? You are free to make your own choices about your own body and property, and you don't have to like what another person chooses to do with her own. But, you have no right to be hateful toward her because her political ideology differs from your own. Americans never used to be this way toward each other. And, this change of behavior did not start in 2016. I first noticed it at least eight years before.
