I'm not getting a Flu shot this year.
I'm using this Flu season as a self-experiment to see if there's a difference. I've been getting Flu shots for the last 6 years, and my sick-rate during that time was no more than 2 days out of the year in one occurrence.
This year, since I'm not being forced into getting a shot, I won't, out of pure scientific curiosity to see if I get sick more, or not at all.
So far I'm doing great.
A lot of kids at school came down with all kinds of crap, and I'm not trying to do anything different than I'd normally do, and I haven't even gotten so much as a headache this year, outside of hangovers.
(There was that spontaneous allergic reaction recently, but that has nothing to do with it.)

I want to see if my immune system does better or worse without the shot.
