You have your right to make your choice. We have the right to make ours.
But to stand there and pull this "Better Then You" crap is pathetic. Utterly pathetic.
I could in the same breath say "I hope all you guys who got the shot and forced it upon your children are ashamed of yourselves for harming innocent and healthly people if any deadly or paralyzing side effects happen" but you know what, I don't. I just suggest that while you have your right to choose to get this shot, I disagree.
As I said earlier, these scare tactics and hype are not going to win anyone over and certainly not how you prove a point.

Well I would say that your are not informed, because there isn't a good reason for not getting the flu shot, unless you have allergic reactions to the flu shot, are younger than 2 years old, or have some other medical reason for not being able to receive the flu shot.
Another reason why I want other people to get the flu shot is because the shot does not provide 100% immunity. So we have to rely on herd immunity. Which won't happen unless enough people get the shot. And if this thread is any indication it doesn't look good. Herd immunity will help protect people who can't get the flu shot. Like infants, the infirm and those with immune disorders.
