Nice summary. Thanks Traum.
I have never taken a flu shot but know plenty of people who have. When I was younger I used to think that it could potentially lesson the effectiveness of my immune system compared to just making healthy choices. No confirmation on that since it's pre-internet at the time. My mom would get it and ask me why I wouldn't and I remember using that story. I'd think why are people taking a shot to prevent maybe getting sick for a couple days, what a bunch of pussies. But I don't get sick very often, maybe every 3-5 years, and if I do it's a whiney man-cold for a couple days with a week of snotty residual. Not a big deal. The annual flu shot is just not something that is even close to being on my radar. That's all. No fear around it. Maybe for others who are more susceptible to getting sick would have a different view.
So are you saying that if I have no fear of the flu shot doing any damage then I should feel the exact same way about the COVID vaccines?

This is my biggest take-away. Everyone is in their own echo chamber looking for conformation bias to support what they want to believe anyway.
