But don't do it just because people on ATS are afraid of vaccines, people on ATS are paranoid. Do it for libertarian reasons if you do it.
This is a sweeping generalization; there are all kinds of people on ATS, including you, so you've just said that people who are on ATS, like yourself, are paranoid and afraid of vaccines, but then you have admitted to receiving the most pointless vaccine of all, which the top scientists in the world have proved doesn't work, they also warned that we do not yet know if it's safe. (info already linked to in thread)
Influenza (inactivated) vaccine
Some people should not get inactivated influenza vaccine or should wait.
Tell your doctor if you have any severe (life-threatening) allergies, including a severe allergy to eggs. A severe allergy to any vaccine component may be a reason not to get the vaccine.

Well of course it is a sweeping generalization, the character count and my time constraints won't let me address it member by member.

It is an accurate enough generalization though.

On ATS the majority of people are anti vaccine, but then there are some indifferent to them and some promoters of vaccines. I am indifferent, but also honest and knowledgeabe to the risks. My wife developed Guillain-Barre and was paralyzed for months after receiving a Hepatitis Vaccine in high school. She cannot receive any vaccines of any type now, and it triggered other auto-immune problems. She has developed Celiacs Disease and Fibromyalgia over the years, and it can all be traced back to the Hepatitis Vaccine. My 1st son had no problems, but my second son was born prematurely as a result of her Celiacs Disease, and then at 5 months immediately after his vaccinations he developed neurological problems in the form of "infantile spasms." I won't go into the long story, but that was a direct result of the thimerosal in the multi-use vaccine vials. It was also a result of the stupid doctor giving him 5 shots at the same time in his frail little body that wasn't even 5lbs yet.

So, we're very familiar with vaccines in my family, and their dangers, but I also believe in their effectiveness. I think they are taken for granted and mishandled and not administered properly. They can be effective and safe, but the doctors need to actually do their jobs, weigh all the risk factors, order the single dose vials, and administer the vaccines one at a time at least 30 days apart.

As for the flu vaccine being worthless, I don't think it is completely useless, but it is kind of like flood insurance. You get it year after year and the chances of getting hit specifically with the flu in the vaccine is low, but when you need it, it is nice to have. I did get a horrible stomach flu several years ago and I shat myself on an elevator! Don't want to do that again, so I'll take the useless shot in hopes that it helps me avoid the worst of the worst.
