    Default knock on wood

    So This year, For the 1st time in quite awhile, I got a flu shot.

    Every damn year in the past, I get a flu/cold that totally lays me down. Usually around NOV and no lie, it last about a month..

    This year, I noticed a lot of people around me have the flu.. and they get it real bad..

    I got the shot back in SEP. I swear, it feels like every other person, including a friend I spent some time this weekend, has it also.

    But Im glad to say, I have not catch that shit yet.

    Yup, Knock on wood.


    And to those who say, that after you get the flu shot, you get sick to get ..

    Thats a myth.. according to my doctor.

    Its not a myth, but some people are affected differently than others. A flu shot is basically a vaccine. And the way a vaccine works is that you get injected with a dead version of the virus so your body can develop antibodies. Never the less some people could still get sick from that if their immune system isn't strong enough.

    I've gotten a flu shot 3 of the last 4 years. The one year I didn't, I got sick. I'm sure there was some coincidence in that, but nonetheless, I've never had any problems after getting them, and they're free through Tech, so why not?

    Yea it's def not a myth, I'm immuno compremised which for those who don't know what that means I was born with little to no immuse system. So for years and years I couldn't get ANY of my shots and I still can't get some today, Because when I would get them I would get w/e virus the vaccine was for.

    I have never got a flu shot and never really plan on it. I have had the flu once in my whole life and that was about 4 years ago when I was on some really strong medicine that lowerd my immune system. All back to normal now though.

    I know several ppl that have got the shot and then less than 2 wks later had it. Or atleast really bad side effects. No thank you. One of my boss's tried to make me get one since they are a DR and I keep babies but I refused. The day I get it I might think about it.....

    100% hindsight bias? Keep babies, you make em sound like pets


    I haven't had a shot in forever and the last time I was sick was with the chicken pox in the 90s. Knock on wood indeed!
