You sound very sure of yourself but once you skip a year you will think 'why in the fuck have i been taking those shots for'.
I live in Miami, an international city. People come here from all over the world all of the time. Every time I pump gas, get on an elevator, push a shopping cart, use a pen at the bank, handle money, touch a door handle, stand in a crowd, breathe someone else air, expose myself in any fashion outside of my house and this does not include the germs my son brings home from school or my wife's exposure, I'm picking up some goddamn exotic germs. I got a flu shot yesterday, no drama, no nothing. Odds are good that somewhere I'm going to be exposed to the flu virus or an epidemic might break out quickly. It's a win if I don't get it from chance or because I used available protection. Why wouldn't I take advantage of modern medicine? If you've never gotten the flu that's fine, the day you get it, it will kick your ass up and down the street. And there is no cure or treatment. In effect, you're using the "good luck" treatment for the flu. I might use that for the lottery, but not my health.
