The flu vaccine... Help or hoax?
I'm creating this thread because of some interesting information I've come across in recent conversations.
Everybody I asked who got flu shots eventually got the flu, while everybody I asked who didn't get the shots (myself included) didn't get the flu.
I'm wondering if there is some kind of conspiracy (or screwup) here, where the flu shot actually gives you the flu.
This might be because of the people who make the vaccines wanting to make more profit, or perhaps it is because the vaccine, though well-intended, is faulty and harms rather than protects.
Your thoughts?

I was always made aware that only little children and the elderly should concern themselves with flu shots. However, recent medical data (apparently) proves otherwise. However, as I have never come down with the flu, I remain generally unconvinced with the effectiveness of a flu shot... however my Grandma is a nurse, and she is steadfast in her love for flu shots. <shrugs>

I only ever had the flu shot once, and I didn't get the flu.
But my immune system is all but bulletproof. I almost never get sick.

I think the flue vaccine works in some way.
The reason why I think that your reason for it not working is incorrect is the following.
People that have a high risk of getting the flue (for example people that work with many other people) have the flue vaccine more that people that do not have such a high risk.
These low list people that did not had the vaccine will not get flu, for some of the high risk people the vaccine may have worked and for other not.
