No guarantee that you won't get the flu after getting the shot.
A rise in the prevalence of the flu in USA even though millions are getting the shot.
Also what about some of the data that SBH posted about being more likely to get respiratory issues after getting the shot?
Or how about the part where you're injecting pig gelatin into your bloodstream which is a conflict with many religions.
The list goes on."

This is why I asked about your claim about supporting science.

1) 115 participants is a ridiculously small sample and you cannot make any significant claim based on that.

2) The paper admits:

"Influenza vaccination is effective in preventing influenza virus infection and associated morbidity among school-aged children"

3) If injecting pig gelatin is against some religious beliefs, that is not a problem science deals with, and again brings me back to whether you really understand science or not. Religious beliefs are not part of science. You ought to know and understand that.

Given your claim that you have a major in science and that you support it, I'm now troubled because I now think you made that up.
