(115,858 posts)that they never get a flu shot because they live on kale and lichens and are therefore so healthy that they don't need one, or that they never get a flu shot because flu shots don't work, or that they got a flu shot this one time and they puked a couple of days later so obviously flu shots are dangerous, or that they've never had a flu shot and have never gotten the flu anyhow so obviously they don't need one, or that flu shots are the malign work of Big Pharma which just wants your money?
Those people?

(115,858 posts)Sometimes people also blow off steam about their work or personal situations. The OP is in a perpetual battle with anti-vaxx fuckwits in his work, and it seems to me to be just fine if he posts a rant about anti-vaxx fuckwits in general, in the Lounge. He could add a cat video or a fart joke if that would lighten the mood, though.

(37,748 posts)That's pretty much the entirety of their argument; with a few going so far as to say condoms cause STDs.

(38,328 posts)Number One is that my reactive lungs have landed me in the hospital when I've caught the flu. My damned lungs have landed me in the hospital for common colds.
Number Two, if I hadn't had a flu shot and I got the flu my wife would kill me this time, even if the flu didn't.
She's seen me as a skeleton man in a hospital bed because of the flu.
Yes, I wanted to die.
It's not an experience I wish to repeat.

(115,858 posts)and I've never been so sick, before or since. I don't care if the vaccine isn't 100% effective; I'll take all the protection I can get because if I get a case of flu like that again, I'm probably dead.
