True, but I don't believe you're claiming that you'll be healthier because you're doing all of the things you mentioned.
I mean, I claim that the beers and shots make me more attractive to females, does that count?

My last flu shot was 45ish years ago. Never had the flu.
You’ve had it. Your immune system may be better at preventing illness from it for some reason. For elderly or people with compromised immune systems though, that probably isn’t true. My wife used to come home exasperated trying to care for elderly people who had refused to get flu or Covid vaccines because they were sure it was going to alter their DNA or cause a heart attack. Instead they would end up in the hospital for weeks and often she would end up watching them die either on a ventilator or with a DNR order from their family. She had to run the vent for a long time friend who got COVID before the vaccine was available. He died. Different protocols for different people should be the norm. Government mandated vaccination destroys public confidence.

I used to get flu shots every year. I won't after Covid since I don't trust Walgreens or whoever to not sneak Covid "vaccine" into the cocktail. As a matter of fact, despite living in the age of medical miracles and wonder my trust factor with medicine starting with my family doctor is almost nil. While the Covid fiasco wasn't the first time I suspected medicine to be wrongly influenced by politics and big money, Covid put the stamp on my opinion that medicine is corrupt, influenced by all kinds of slimy characters, and not in my best interest.

Wow. You really think Walgreen’s is going to sneak COVID vaccine in to your flu shot? That’s a a whole new level of paranoia. But hey, being paranoid doesn’t mean people aren’t trying to get you….

I have so many questions for him!

So, is the Walgreens counter lady "sneaking in the COVID vax into the flu shot?

Who is sneaking it in?

With that said, in HS I had a friend of would poke little holes into some of the condoms while he worked at Walgreens. So who knows!

Wasn’t there talk of using mRNA in flu jabs? Maybe that’s what he meant. And I’m with him, I will not be getting injected with anything

The Dunning Kruger effect is a cognitive bias where individuals with low competence in a particular area tend to overestimate their abilities and confidence in that area. This is because they lack the necessary knowledge and skills to recognize their own shortcomings.
