Of course there are viruses in life. When I do catch one I prefer my symptoms to be mild, to which I credit my covid and annual flu shots.
Contrast that to my younger anti-vaxxer neighbors. Their entire family routinely goes down and out for weeks on end with "flu-like symptoms."
You can credit the COVID shot for whatever you want but there's no evidence to suggest it's anything but detrimental to one's health. The entire narrative around COVID is a series of various fables. There has NEVER been an effective vaccine for a coronavirus and that's as true today as it was in March, 2020.
I don't have a strong opinion on the flu shot. I suppose it can be effective if they guess correctly on which strain(s) will be dominant in a given winter. I don't think I've ever had the flu and I wouldn't take the shot unless I was severely compromised with some other disease.
I'm not an anti-vaxxer. I have all my childhood vaccines. I'll probably get the shingles vax at some point. I only had chicken pox a few years ago. But I generally think it's best to avoid unnecessary treatments. Especially ones that ignored all previous safety/testing protocols.
