In 30+ years I have never gotten a flu shot, I had the flu 3 times, it lasted as long, as my coworkers that got the flu shot and the flu from it lasted. 8 days and all was pretty much fine only 2 days of which were sever. They have never gotten the flu shot right for the strain in that year.
All I can say is some people are stupid. Flu season, wash hands more often, take vitamin C more often, some zinc and don't forget to bite your fingernails to stay healthy and get micro doses.
The reason for the removal of the face mask mandates might be due to those that have had the shot can spread the new virus to those that refuse to get the shots.
They may be spreading something but a alleged virus they are not. Germ "theory" is exactly that, theoretical not fact.
My mother gets the flu shot every year and every year she suffers flu like symptoms.
After a year of reading alternative medicine articles and also visiting an ex doctor that has turned to practicing natural medicine due to her dislike of big pharma pill pushing, I tend to agree with them that what we term the flu is vitamin D deficiency and a body detox from toxins.
