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.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
