I changed my mind on flu shots.
I used to think "I never get it, and even if I do, I'm young and won't die".
But then I realized that if I contract the flu and don't realize it yet, I could end up killing my Grandpa, or any unfortunate immunocompromized person in my path. I will be getting them going forward not so much for me, but for everyone else.
