Yes, got to keep those pastors in nice homes and cars so the parish feels good when they see him drive by!

Many churches also do unbelievably crappy things, like tell their parishioners to vote Trump. And boy did they!

Stupid people, that’s who.

Who is giving 10% of their monthly income to a make believe sky fairy (tithe)? Are these people insane?

You went from being young and naive to old and stupid.

Congratulations.

This logic is totally chill and awesome if you never leave your house or simply don’t care who you might infect should you get influenza.

Get a flu shot please. And I’m not “not a doctor.”

You’re the jerk who comes to work sick, aren’t you? Thanks, buddy.

You sound like someone who has not gotten the flu and doesn’t really know what the flu is. I got the real flu while in my mid 20s and in perfect health, and it was terrible. When you get a cold and feel bad for a couple days but tough your way through it with some medication, that is not the flu. The flu is in the…

“ Of course YMMV, not a doctor, etc.”

What about the immunocompromised who might also have a contraindication to receiving the flu vaccine? What about infants too young to receive the vaccination? Their only protection is everyone else preventing the spread of flu. You don’t just vaccinate to protect yourself. Get the shot to protect everyone.

brownieisdoingagreatjob.....doesn’t that just seem like someone who doesn’t want a flu shot because after all *he’s* healthy.

Just get the flu shot you jerk. Nothing you listed are good reasons you shouldn’t get one.

With side effects so miniscule, I doubt your math works out. Remember how the recommendations are constantly updated based on current risk and effectiveness data? That math has been DONE. If you came to a different conclusion, you’ve got an uphill argument to make.

“But I will (personally) continue skipping the flu shot until I get older or my health changes. Of course YMMV, not a doctor, etc.”

Yes, good point! And if you are pregnant, the flu shot is both safe and recommended.

Every person who is susceptible to the flu is a stepping stone the virus can use to reach the elderly and sick.

I’ve said it many times over many years: Mike Judge is a criminally underrated writer.

That’s not what cheating is about. Cheaters don’t go looking for someone hotter.
