Vaccines Flu and People Ignorant

I had the flu shot two years in a row. Each time I had the flu shot, I fell sick with the flu two weeks later and was sick for a week or longer.

The next year, I skipped the flu shot and did not get sick. It was obviously the flu shots that were making me sick. As such, I am never getting another flu shot again.

Reported data on vaccines may not build public trust or adherence

The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) is a national vaccine safety reporting system that collects information about possible side effects that may occur after inoculation. Recently, researchers proposed that open communication about VAERS could improve public trust that vaccines are safe, thereby increasing vaccine acceptance. Findings from the study suggest that data and stories may not increase the public's acceptance of vaccines. Ref. Source 5z.

I don't think only ignorant people get the flu vaccine, but I personally don't get it. I've always had a strong immune system, and even if I do get sick it is usually nausea for a day, not anything worse. I can't remember the last time I had to miss work for a day because I was sick. I am more likely to get a headache (Migraine) and call out. Combine that with all the anecdotal evidence of people getting sick more often with the vaccine than without (Not just the guy above, but 10 people in my family and another dozen or so other people I know personally).
