Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Why do people take yearly flu shots?

Because their doctors tell them to
Fear.
Every year my dr asks me if I want it. Every year I tell him my immune system is fine. This year he actually laughed as he asked if I wanted the jab.
I can halfway understand if someone got the flu shot if they are old. But just willy nilly taking that sgit is crazy
in healthcare we have to take it or wear a mask in the hospital everywhere. Well with the new rules of masks in all hospitals nobody is taking it anymore. That and Publix stopped the free $10 gift card. Flu shot and free chicken tender sub was money.
Apparently over the last few decades, as the percentage of seniors who got the vaccine drastically increased, the number of senior deaths from the flu has drastically gone up as well.

Study: Flu shots in elderly don't cut mortality rate
I have never gotten a flu shot but have been in some knock down drag out fights with the flu. Figure i have developed immunity to a lot of strains over the years.
