How Helpful Are Flu Shots? — Not Very

SEE HERE  I'm not surprised frankly.  The hoopla about flu shots comes around every year and you'd think people were dropping like flies from the flu.  It's not that there is no danger, there is some.  The flu shots, if you're lucky and pick the right one, may provide some protection, not much and sometime none at all but then the danger is over-hyped so there's not as much to protect you from as you've been warned about.  This is just more posturing with mediocre science pretending to so something worthwhile when in fact both the dangers and the effectiveness have been exaggerated.
