In reply to the discussion: Just got my flu shot and my COVID booster. [View all]doc03
(37,432 posts)40. Talked to this clerk in a store a few minutes the other day. I mentioned something about getting
the flu and COVID shot that day. Soon as she opened her mouth I knew she was a MAGA. She said she doesn't
take any shots, they destroy your immune system. She says you need to be exposed to the viruses in order for you to build up
immunity to them. I am not any medical expert but isn't that the point of the vaccine? I told her about my friend's son that refused
to take a COVID shot and ended up dying from COVID at 48 years old. Of course she starts telling me about all the people she knew that died from the shot. There you go they deal with alternative facts, there is no use trying to reason with a MAGA. I just say hi now and
don't engage in any conversation anymore.

Good for you. If you're not going to listen to your doctor, listen to your nurse.
