How profitable is a flu shot?

[Fedorgasm]

Feels like every business is pressuring me to get a flu shot now.



Like why is the grocery store trying so hard to give me a flu shot? They must be making bank from my health insurance.

It's like Lennon said. You, uh, look for the one who will benefit and... You know, uh...

Spoiler

I am the walrus.

 

[MichiganMMA1978]

Not very, I haven’t made a dime from it…

 

[HoiceNJuicy]

I read that pharmaceutical companies make exactly tree fiddy for each shot administered.

Shut the fuck up Donny! V.I. Lenin! Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov!

Never had one personally... and have seen many people catch shitty cases of the flu after getting the shot... but "It would be worse if you didn't have the shot, trust us bro!!!"

Low cost to manufacture and probably a large profit margin... It doesn't take a genius to work this one out.

 

[Rob Battisti]

I haven’t had a single shot in about 25 years

 

[Michaelangelo]

Sounds like a scam

I don't get flu shot anymore either. I don't see any real true evidence that it really does much. Doctors always pushing it but I'll jsut take my chances.

Your grocery store offers flu shots? Is there like a out of work doctor in the back with pending trials?

Smallpox vaccine = you don't get smallpox
Polio vaccine = you don't get polio
Tetanus vaccine = you don't get tetanus.

Compared to:
Flu/covid "vaccines" = you still catch it, still get symptoms and are still contagious... but the symptoms aren't as bad "trust me bro".

Yeah... no.

A flu shot is like 30 bucks without insurance

A flu shot is like 30 bucks without insurance

...and probably costs $1 to manufacture.

It may cost more than a dollar to create the vaccine

 

[Contempt]

It may cost more than a dollar to create the vaccine

OK but if it does nothing... who gives a shit?

I'll stick to the ones that work and have publicly available clinical data to back them up.

The news said docs etc take a financial risk to offer it and it expires, so maybe that's why they want to pitch it.

I read end of Oct is the best time to get it in order to ramp up the immune system in time and effectiveness fades.

I started getting flu shot during COVID after skipping it for many many years and only got real sick once since then, so I'm guessing something's working. Didn't even get hardcore sore throat.

I read that every 10th person who gets a flu shot is entitled to the hot vaccine technician giving him a quality BJ.

Big Flu... Too Big to Fail

This is true , can corroborate.

Mind you, he never calls, he never texts ...
