I have to, army makes us. I've gotten out of it a few years in a row, but last year they tightened my loophole, giggity. So I've had it three times in the last 7 years

So that's what they're calling it in the barracks these days!

I don't take a flu shot but it's mostly because I have an incredibly strong immune system, not because my tin-foil hat is too snug.

The flu shot GIVES you the flu...it puts the virus in your system and then your body fights it off. So no...I've never gotten the flu shot...and to be honest I haven't had the flu in about 6-7 yrs.

Hell no. I don't do flu shots and I don't go to the doctors for antibiotics every time I get the sniffles.
It is my personal opinion that over-medicating weakens your immune system. I rarely get colds and if I do, they are minor compared to everyone else and I haven't had the flu since i don't know when.

I'd rather let my body fight off nasty intruders on it's own than get outside help. I believe that makes my immune system stronger.
Again, this is my (probably misguided) opinion and not based on any fact.

Getting sick does make your immune system stronger. The flu vaccine does the same thing without making you sick.
