What? If you're curious about the benefits of taking the vaccine and not taking it, I mentioned in my first post that every time I get the vaccine, I end up getting the full disease anyway. If I don't, well, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. This year, for example, according to the CDC, it was apparently a pretty bad year and yet I didn't get the flu. Like I said, that's just me.

If it's about herd immunity not working, remember, the stats in the article say it works about 70% of the time at best (and one recent flu season was just over 20%), which, from my understanding of herd immunity, is less than optimal.
Are you saying that the vaccine gave you the flu? If not, then you disagree with OP and agree with me! Which is it?
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
