I didn't get the flu shot this year yet I drink orange juice everyday and never got the FLU. So I guess OJ is 100% effective in my case.

61% of people who got the flu shot didnt get the flu sure...that doesn't mean they would have had they not had the flu shot
61% effectiveness does not mean that 61% of the people who got the shot didn't get the flu. It means overall 61% more people who were vaccinated didn't get the flu than those who didn't get the shot. Yay science!

I don't deny your claim, but I won't support it either until I see some facts, which you haven't provided.

And you're right, you can get all the vitamin D you need from the sun (time and weather permitting) but that doesn't stop people from buying supplements like crazy.
