About the only thing flu shots are directly linked to are pharma company revenues.

I'm getting my 'flu shot next week.

Thanks to the Kiwi taxpayers...

The ONE time I got the flu, it was my Freshman year of college after being required to get the flu shot in order to attend.  Haven't had a flu shot since, and haven't had the flu since.

You science-y people can make all the claims you want.  I'm not buying them, because I'm evidence against those claims.

What of the possibility that the people who had their 'flu shots were later getting ill from a different strain of 'flu, for which the shot was ineffective?

I'd go with the preponderance of evidence, which is that the 'flu shots almost always work.
