Today, I overheard my co-workers talking about how they don't need flu shots because everyone else gets them. These people are in the medical industry. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my adult son is visiting, sick on my couch with influenza A. He's spent all week screaming about how anti vaxxers are stupid, but admits that he didn't get a flu shot because, "they don't work." I got my flu shot and still got sick because I'm immunocompromised. He fails to see the irony. FML
Today i had a patient come into the practice six times to ask about vaccines they've had. Apparently, their "doctor" friend (with a PHD in arts) is a more reliable source of information than trained medical staff telling them, "Yes, that is in that group of vaccines" with a vaccine leaflet, and a head nurse explaining it all. FML
Today, someone who lives off the government stated that all I do as a front line nurse is wipe arses, and that I know nothing about Covid because I'm not a doctor. He refuses to get the vaccine as well. FML
Today, while chatting with my in-laws, I told them about my upcoming spinal surgery. Soon after, when I went to get us some drinks, I overheard them murmuring about how many surgeries I've already had, how I'm a drain on the healthcare system, and how I should ideally just die. FML
Today, I'm sick. I got the flu shot for the first time ever this year and for the first time in my life, I have the flu. FML
Today, I got tons of sympathy (and hugs) from my co-workers after intense sneezing and coughing due to my "seasonal allergies." When I got home, my SO asked if allergies are contagious, because he had them too. He didn't have allergies. We have Covid. And so do most of my co-workers now. I suck! FML
Today, I had to listen to my coworker complain about how working 19 hours a week leaves her with no time to go to the doctor and get her bronchitis treated. Meanwhile, I work 40 hours a week, as well as doing 18 credit hours at school, and she refuses to cover her mouth. FML
Today, I was going over my vaccinations when I spotted that I hadn't gotten my Covid vaccine since last year. Not a big deal, my doctor hadn't made a mention of it on the last visit, and I got my flu shot last month. At least it wouldn't be a big deal if my friend hadn't tested positive for Covid last week. FML
Today, while I was at work, a coworker began ranting about his theory that the government is going to create a disease that sterilises everyone, and use the antidote to control the population. I was just trying to take a crap in the stall next to him. FML
Today, I went into an exam room to do a check-up on one of my patients. I told the little girl's mother that she needed her flu shots. When the girl heard this, she took an apple out of her pocket and threw it at me. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hope these people don't give advice to patients. They need to rethink their job descisions

All I know is that every time I got the flu shot or the nasal spray, I would get sick as hell for about 3 weeks: 102+/- fever, sweating, vomiting, and every time I went to the doctor/hospital/sick bay I was told I had the flu, then berated for not getting the flu vaccine, then apologized to when they checked my records and found I had gotten it. Since I got out of the military and an not longer required ey get the vaccine, guess what: I haven't gotten the flu. I know it helps some people, but others not so much.

Assholes like that are the reason cancer patients, transplant recipients, etc. get the flu and die :( They are yet another person who can catch it and pass it on...to those that can't be protected.

I got my flu 'vaccination' courtesy of my coworker who should have stayed his ass home.

And those would be the ones I don't want near me. Idiots. I thought you needed to get these shots to even work in the medical field?

It's true. You don't have to give flu shots to the entire population, only a certain amount.

Actually, there's this thing called Herd Immunity

It's because all the flu shots now contain things we don't know about. (Ebola). Government is trying to decolonize.

They were probably referencing heard immunity
