Flu shots

I'm not anti-immunization. However, I am not convinced flu shots work. The worst case of the flu I ever got was from a family that everyone got the shot. Sometimes at work I have been the only one not to get the flu and the only one who didn't get the shot.

In any case I recommend reading it, it's informative.

Vaccinations don't need us to be convinced of anything to work. Ultimately, we have data that can show us how effective vaccinations are and how much illness they prevent. This is a better basis for our opinions on vaccination than our personal experiences, although I do understand our underlying bias towards anecdotal information and personal experiences when making decisions.

Fortunately, factual information doesn't require belief.
