This is simply false.

We've got millions of people in an experimental group - those who regularly get their flu shots. We've got millions in a control - those who don't.

If the flu shot were impacting health negatively, we'd know by now. The first flu shots were given as far back as WWII.

You mean like we knew for cigarettes that doctors recommanded to relax the throat ?

The general populatuon is not a control group.
