Re: Are you getting a flu shot this year
To each's own. I guess for me: follow what our grandparents did (or grandmoms) the food/practice usually were the best for our immune system. Eating out was a rarity and the food she cooked, today are called booster for the immune system. I remember her getting ill/flu like symptoms just once in my life. She lived close to 90. Not saying dont get one, but my mom has to get one based on her healthcare provider and I am disgusted by it because she has caught the flu 2 out of 4 shots. or bad reaction to it? Whatever is at the pharmacists? Seems 50/50. if not lesser odds.
Funny looking back on how my grandmother (mom's side) would get on our case for small stuff like we couldn't put anything in refrigerator without wiping it down, I thought it was silly, but today her practice would be considered on point for airborne illness/infectious agents surviving on surfaces, bottles etc.
My dad's mom past before I was 3, but heard she was similar, ate to live as opposed of living to eat what taste good.
Social/societal wise its a double edged sword. Ideology for liberals and conservative IMO are both careless, hypocritical always quick to point out what others are doing wrong for prevention of covid, yet quick to justify when they do it, so seems in your field take the pill of- damned if U do, damned if you don't.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
