I find the big argument against the flu shot boils down to:
I got the flu shot once and I still got sick.
For some reason people tend to think that flu shot = never getting sick.
Flu is also such a generic term. There are not only multiple stains, but 'the stomach flu' which I don't believe is actually a influenza.
So much misinformation with the flu... a friend on my facebook was ranting about how horrible it is to have flu shots taking place at grocery stores and what is that doing to our food? I didn't have the energy to say "absolutely nothing" but that's also part of what the flu shot (and I suppose other vaccines/medications) have to face.
That and even though it's easier to get the flu shot, it's still a pain in the butt to get.
