How are some of you so sickly?
But it begs the question, if you got the flu shot and then got the flu. Is it really that effective?

It doesn’t protect you from all strains, but it does protect you from some - and generally lessens your symptoms if you do get the flu.
You also can gain immunities over time to more strains.
Talk to ER nurses about the flu shot. the flu still kills people, even young, healthy ones. Flu shot lessens the chance of that happening.
