Did you have a bad experience with a vaccination or are you one of those that believe that vaccination doesn’t prevent anything despite the empirical evidence to the contrary?

I was speaking to a Consultant virologist at the Hospital where I work and he said that the People that decide which annual national vaccine is available to us oldies are effectively guessing which will be the most efficacious for the predicted predominant strain that will be prevalent in a given flu season, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t but his opinion is that irrespective it is better than not having it.

Pleased to hear it, despite being vaccinated every year I’m sure I’ve caught the Flu in the past after being vaccinated but it manifested itself as a bad cold, I had full weight flu as a youth and literally couldn’t get out of bed. I also tested positive for Covid but again ir was like having a cold and both me and the better half tested negative in 5 days I’m convinced that being vaccinated mitigates the effects of viral infections and will continue to do so

Same here had covid twice for sure but maybe 3 times as had all the symptoms and other family members tested positive so more than likely three times, get colds and flu but no where near as bad as used to so yes vaccinations do help, my son had covid really bad even now he still suffers, it affected his kidneys, eyes etc
