I had the MMR vaccine. Next he'll be saying that caused my autism 
The flu is much, much more severe. The flu can be severe enough to kill small children or the elderly--or anyone else with a weaker immune system--without treatment but colds don't actually need treatment at all. I've had it only twice but I've had a cold thousands of times. Believe me, you would KNOW if you had the flu.
Many people complain about the flu and it's just a mild cold.
I don't mean to be sexist towards my own sex but: Mostly men do that...
"I've got the flu.... I'm afraid I am gonna have to say home and watch the football tonight, Bob."
"Okay Gary, I know what that's like. I almost cried today because I thought I might have a vague case of the sniffles, too."
...And it's just a man cold lol. Which is usually even milder than a normal cold, lol. It usually means "I don't feel perfectly healthy and I don't wanna work today."
