I would definitely lump in flu shots under this category that you are taking a huge leap of faith on a system that does not have a great track record of checks and balances. While the health system is well intentioned, the bottom line is money as is everything else.
Chances are better to cook up grandma’s secret formula X to ward off evil spirits. Reminds me very much of people who think luck is on their side when entering Casinos.
I would sincerely hope next time you have your personal physician sign off on the dotted line guaranteeing the shot is 100% safe. Afterall – if he/she believes so much in it that they’re willing to recommend them, let them do so based on their conscience.
