So here is what my dr told me and it’s honestly about as non political as it can get.
to quote him, “The flu shot is a guess every year. Scientists have to try and guess what will be the most dominant strain of flu going into any given year. At worst, it’s a 50/50 toss up. While the flu shot will never guarantee you absolute protection from getting the flu, even if they miss the dominate strain, theres decades of data to support that if you get the flu, your symptoms will be far less and over quicker”
