The last flu vax I got (under heavy pressure from my office) made me pretty sick (this was many years back, 2016 I believe) and that same winter I also caught a bad flu, so I was devastatingly sick again and I missed a fair amount of work. Those two events, along with everyone casually explaining away that they cannot catch every strain, was pure garbage.
By the time we got to covid, there were way to many pushers, including lotteries to randomly reward one lucky vaxer with life-changing money, even free donuts, and then all the angry pier pressure from family and friends rolling out and starting to chide and sound exactly like my old workplace all over again. Once there were causey marathon/concerts and dancing first responder nurses, I knew something was up, so I was not wrong, and I would never take their jab. I was also instantly uninvited to many gatherings. I was actually glad to sit out, especially if their vax was not protecting them. Hat tip to all my nightmare sheep.
