The vaccine is
perceived as something that will prevent the flu but in reality is a pile of horse manure that helps about 1 in 100 people vaccinated.
There are hundreds of flu strains out there and your vaccine will only cover at best 3 or 4 of those. Once you have it your immune system is stretched as it is being forced to create antibodies for the strains in the vaccine. When a different flu virus pops along during that period you're going to find that:
1) The vaccine is of no use because it didn't cover that strain
2) Your body is in a weakened state so will have a very hard time fending off the invading flu virus. That could make things far far worse than they otherwise would be.
Either way, just having the vaccine and pumping your body full of its highly (imo) suspect and undesirable ingredients (like squalene for example) is not going to help you any. It is extremely common for vaccine takers to subsequently suffer ILIs (Influenza Like Illnesses) as you have discovered multiple times.
You have everything to lose and nothing to gain by having the vaccine
You risk weakening your body and then getting a flu strain which the vaccine does not cover
You risk contracting some very serious side effects that are known to happen (go read the list, not pleasant!)
You risk infecting everyone else with any flu you do get far more than unvaccinated people would, thereby perpetuating the whole winter flu cycle.
I strongly recommend you read the paper insert for the vaccine you too (probably FLUAD). It will tell you freely how untested it is.
Not tested for being carcinogenic or mutagenic for example.
Go read the flu vaccine related threads in this forum for the evidence and data. GL.
