Strawman.

I get vaccines for serious diseases when visiting foreign countries. Yellow fever, hepatitis, tetanus amongst others. So far I have manged to avoid becoming autistic.

I am in good health so have no real reason to get a flu shot. (One year my work offered me one and I took it).

Aren't you saying the exact same thing that you called "antivaccer".

CDC doesn't recommed flu to people who are not * in good health* , its a population wide recommendation. You being in good health is not relevant to GP's point of recommending vaccines to people who are not sick( which you seem to agree with).
