I have had proper flu once in my life, along with a bunch of asthma-aided respiratory infections over the years - by far and away REAL flu can make you feel like dying.
I was actually pretty glad to be given the jab, Ihad to see my doc about a persistent cough and mentioned whether or not I ought to get one (being newly diagnosed t2 diabetic and asthmatic for many years) and he just said "roll up your sleeve" ... very good natured and although I usually HATE injections passionately (understanding that very few people actually like them, but you know what I mean) - it was relatively simple. Didn't get asked to stick around and was allowed to go out to my car straightaway.
My arm still hurts now, to touch, even to have a duvet laying on it - but having had almost a month of life given over to real flu some time ago, where everything (my hair, eyes, teeth all all) hurt - I'd rather have this pain for a shorter amount of time and be able to carry on my life.
As to the injected virus mutating, isn't it a dead virus?
And yes of course there is the chance that you'll catch a different strain ... but if the opportunity to avoid the most likely danger is available then I will take it.
A couple of people have politely given their reasons for not having the jab and congratulations to them for their honesty and politic ... isn't it nice to debate without some idiot standing up and yelling "I'm right, there is no other answer"
