That's a great point about the flu vaccine. We never get the flu or flu shot so it's not something I think about (we are hermits).Wrong. The number one problem is people like 70Trigirl that don't get vaccines like the flu shot because they don't think they need it.
Unless you are in no contact with others you could be at risk of contracting and spreading a virus.
Just to be clear, I'm waiting eagerly for my turn to get one of the covid19 vaccines. I'm not anti-vaccine, I just haven't gotten the flu shot in the past since I'm super healthy and live in a place that is not densely populated and haven't gotten the flu since maybe I was a kid. I can't even remember when I got the flu last. It was ages. I hardly ever get sick. I have gotten a few minor colds in the last decade, both right before a big race where my immune system was low but got better quickly. I don't consider myself the problem and don't represent those who are not going to get the covid vaccine. Please don't throw around judgements towards people you know nothing about. BTW - I'm vegan AF since 2007 and did 2 years mostly raw quite a while ago.
Again, I certainly will get the covid vaccine!!!!! It can't come soon enough!!!!
I haven't had the flu since middle school and get the shot annually because I don't want to get sick and unknowingly spread it to family and co-workers. I haven't had a cold in years.
I'm glad you're healthy,vegan and pro Covid19 vaccine. A flu shot is always a good idea as all vaccines are imo.
Like I said I'm not anti vaccine or anti flu shot. If I worked with other people and had family/relatives to worry about, then I might consider making the effort to seek one out in my rural world. My husband and I live very remotely off-the-grid alone with one family member left who lives far away from us. We don't have kids. We have both been remote workers for years. We don't like being around crowds or the general public. We were social distancing well before covid19 and well before there was a name for it. We are not like everyone else. Doesn't mean we are opposed to getting a flu shot in the future. But most likely we won't because we are basically very healthy hermits.
I do think it's a good idea for regular every-day people who are around a lot of other people should get the flu shot especially those in cities who live on top of each other.
Death is easy....peaceful. Life is harder.
