If you look at the statistics the efficacy is seldom over 50% and some 
years they miss the strain of the day completely. The stats are somewhat 
questionable since they depend on persons who present at a medical site 
with a confirmed diagnosis. That leaves out the self-medicators who use 
chicken soup and ibuprofen.


I've never gotten the shot. I may have had the flu back in the '90s. I 
spent a couple of days in the truck's sleeper and dragged myself out when 
I had a load to go someplace. 

I see Kennedy is recommending but not requiring the MMR vaccine. Unlike 
the current redefinition of 'vaccine' that one has a well established 
record of working.
