Re: “I don’t remember ever getting one. Maybe had one when I was a child. But probably not.”
Covid proved to be one of the mildest illnesses I've ever had. A day of achiness, another day of coughing, and a lengthy bout of runny nose. That was it.

The flu, on the other hand, is terrible. The two I can remember had me wishing for death and suspecting that my wish was being granted.

I understand about not getting a flu shot - because you were younger and the flu was unlikely to kill you. I haven't had one for thirty years for that very reason. When you get to 70 or so, things change and the flu can kill you. It's a realistic concern - as is pneumonia. In both cases, getting vaccinated (with a REAL vaccine) is prudent. Of course, if the flu shot guards against the wrong flu, or the pneumonia you get is viral instead of bacterial, then the shot won't help. But I think it otherwise will.

What does being vaccinated (flu shoot) do for you?
Does it stop you from getting Covid?
Does it stop you from spreading Covid to others?
If you get Covid, do you have a milder case?
I didn’t get the Covid shot.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a flu shoot in my life. I don’t remember ever getting one. Maybe had one when I was a child. But probably not.
