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

25 years of grandma killing.

The flu sucks . Gimme that shot.

I'd say it's profitable since they still make them. They aren't in the business of helping people, they are in the business to make profit.
I won't take the flu shot or COVID one until I'm older and I'm more at risk. Unless I'm praying for death at that point

Never had a flu shot
Never had a covid shot
If you have to get it every year, it ain't working.

Per ChatGPT:

Short answer — very profitable for many sellers (especially retail pharmacies and big manufacturers), but how profitable varies a lot by who you ask, which vaccine type is used, and the payer mix (Medicare/insurer vs. cash/no-insurance)… flu shots are generally profitable for many actors: pharmacies, large clinic operators, and vaccine manufacturers all typically find flu vaccination programs to be a positive contributor to margins. Pharmacies often report higher relative margins on shots than on regular prescription retail business.

Never had a flu shot ever since they were introduced and never will. Rarely get sick with a cold or flu, because I eat right, sleep right, and workout. Crazy, I know.

The logic never made sense to me, "Let us inject you with the flu now so maybe you don't get it later or the symptoms won't be as bad." How about you don't inject me with chemicals and I see if I get it or not? Doesn't sound like it works very well if I can still get it LOL.

I don’t think you understand how health insurance coverage works.

Who cares, I've only had Influenza 4 times and was knocked out for a fortnight all of the times. I've never had a side effect other than a bit of a sore arm if I sleep on that side so if it's offered I have it.

Which vaccines have you had and why?

I've had whatever was required to start school in 1978.

Keep on getting it. Don't matter to me. But, if you need it every year, it's not working

More profitable and less effective than peptides.

The pharmacy at the grocery store gives you a flu shot, they claim it's free, because they bill your insurance so it's free to you.

My question is how much does my insurance pay them for that shot?

More profitable and less effective than the immune system.
