I don't think I'm an outlier as it's really only a matter of getting a little exercise, washing your hands regularly (probably the single best thing you can do), and eating relatively healthy (I still love my burgers, pizza, etc but I eat an apple, banana, etc every day).
The flu shot does not work 100%... everyone knows that. There are also hundreds of other things that can make someone sick and give flu-like symptoms that aren't the flu. People just tend to self-diagnose any illness with those symptoms as a flu.
