Flu Shots 2022

Why?
Just don't go to a doctor.

I broke my nose as a teen, still visibly broken, never went to a doctor so I can claim with all honesty that I have never been medically diagnosed with a broken nose.

Well yeah. When it comes to colds and flu, you don't have to go to the doc. Unless you're at deaths door or something.

I only had flu twice in my life, and the last time was over 15 years ago. Never had a flu shot.

R150 is cheaper than a week off work and R1000 between the doc and pharmacy.

Well yeah. When it comes to colds and flu, you don't have to go to the doc. Unless you're at deaths door or something.

If you cannot distinguish between cold and flu then you shouldn't be waxing lyrical on vaccines, but here we are now ne?

I think I've been taken for a p0es again. For 14 years.

Well, I was taken for a p0es by my parents when they didn't take me to the doctor and have been stuck with a skew nose and breathing problems for the past 20 years

I'm on 46 years without ever being medically diagnosed with influenza

Can't be diagnosed if you never go to a doctor. Smart.

And didn't you also say you know a chemist who gives you prescription drugs without a doctor's script?

Although I've been medically diagnosed with Influenza before, never did the GP/Specialist do a test for Influenza. All previous Flu diagnosis were based on symptoms checked or described which, as irony would have it, are exactly the same symptoms that now means possibly having Covid.
Which you have to do a fallible test for, to be diagnosed that that you have it.

This was me. Until 2017 rocked up and I got the flu.

Which in turn led to a nice case of influenza myocarditis because I couldn't be arsed to to slow down due to feeling under the weather. I had it pretty bad: heart failure, extreme fatigue and fluid build up in the lungs. Recovery was a long 18-24 months on a low sodium, zero alcohol diet (0% beer really tastes ****).

The flu jab is a little prick compared to the possible alternative that comes without any lube
