The childhood ones I have no problem with.
That said, I do not get flu shots. My wife is an RN and when she gets a patient admitted for the flu she always asks "Did you get the flu shot?". Every single one answers "Yes". Anecdotal for sure and a sample of one person's inquiries, but enough for me. The biggest reason is that my dad began developing symptoms of what eventually killed him within two weeks of getting a flu shot. He died of CIDP, which is a disease "cousin" to Guillain-Barre (in fact there is a "Guillain-Barre/CIDP Foundation", so they are closely related). GB is what started happening after Swine Flu inoculations were given in the late 70's. There is no proven or unproven genetic link as to whether I have a propensity for it being related to my dad. I'll err on the side of caution. Besides, they swear up and down the flu shot doesn't make you "sick", yet everyone I know says they feel like crap for a day or two when they get one. I'll take my chances thank you very much. Ever wonder why many places of employment want to give them on a Friday?
Now a COVID vaccine? I'll let it be Beta-tested for quite a while first. I won't be anywhere near the front of the line for sure.
Here's something else to ponder: will the entities forcing this be financially liable if you get GB or CIDP? Can you (or your surviving family) sue the living shit out of ANYONE involved? i.e. the vaccine manufacturer, the distributor, and the employer forcing you to take it? If not then maybe you ought to wonder why that is.....
