Of course it's coincidence but the last time I got a flu shot, I ended up still getting the flu and it wasn't mild, it was the bed-ridden for a week kind. So I just said **** it and stopped getting them. I haven't had the flu since so I just stopped worrying about it.
Of course COVID is a pretty different deal. The flu vaccine is about protecting one's self more than anything else. The way I understand what you guys have said, COVID doesn't mutate like that, at least not that fast, so a vaccine for COVID, like say the measles vaccine, has a really good chance of protecting other people from getting it from me.
That's the only reason I wear a mask (other than I'm not into provoking people for no reason, we've had fist fights in our area) is because it could potentially protect other people. If that's the case with a vaccine, I'll definitely think about it, although I'm not into injecting stuff that hasn't been completely vetted first.
