It is hard to be certain about, but it can be a factor indeed.

My worst flu was right after I was bamboozled into taking a "flu shot".

I would rather have the flu, which to me is not even that unpleasant.

Same thing happened to me. I took only one flu vaccine ever and I was the sickest I had ever been. Never had the flu before that shot. Never got a flu shot again and never will!

I had flus when I was young, but not any more until the flu shot, and never once again.

Similarly ... I can recall being very ill as a child on at least one occasion ... but never since. I've had colds - and maybe they were mild flu? - but never enough to put me down in bed and never bad enough to miss work.

No doubt this is because I have immunity to a great extent -- against any variants that come along

This happened to my partner years ago. She took a flu shot and was in the hospital getting fluids 2 days later due to sever flu. She was in her 20s and very healthy at the time. She hasn’t had a flu shot or the flu since. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mystery injections, all! I had the same experience many years ago. (No more bamboozling here.) Search until you find Dr. Bryan Ardis’s interview on the children’s flu shots planned for last September(children ages 5-11) as it relates to the CDC’s “prediction” of a cyclical incidence of children afflicted with Acute Flaccid Myelitis.

Yup. I learned that lesson too. Horrible flu.
