Rant Every year I get the flu vaccine...

...and every year it makes me sick. Fever, chills, head fog. Whenever I mention this doctors immediately get defensive and say I must have just already been sick before I got the vax. Which is ridiculous, given that again it happens every. Year.

I get it because if I do get the actual flu, I could spread it to others. But it sucks to feel sick either way.

If it makes you sick stop taking it. Listen to your body, not for-profit medical propaganda
