Cher Blames “Antivaxers Propaganda” For Her Choice Not To Get Flu Shot Before Getting Flu

Ok, first of all, let’s be totally clear that getting the flu vaccine does not necessarily prevent against you getting the flu. Nor does your failure to get the flu vaccine mean you will get the flu. Anecdotally, I’ve only gotten the flu once in my life. I’ve also only gotten the flu vaccine twice in my life. The one time I got the flu was one of the two years I got the flu vaccine. It’s kind of a toss up. Flu vax manufacturers do their best to guess at what the most prevalent strain will be that year and safeguard against it the best they can, but there’s no guarantee. It’s really just an extra layer of potential protection in case you’re concerned.

But Cher doesn’t understand this concept. And she also doesn’t understand the concept of personal choice. She is livid because she has the flu and is miserable, and she blames it on the fact that she “Was going to get Flu Shot,but Hesitated, Cause of Antivaxers PROPAGANDA.” Uh… Cher. Honey. You not getting the flu shot didn’t give you the flu. That’s not how it works. In fact, you might have still gotten the flu even if you did get the flu shot. Regardless, you made your own choice not to get the flu shot. No one made that choice for you.

She then hilariously says, “If u don’t Want Vaccination,keep it to your Self. WTF IS WRONG WITH THESE PPL” Again, honey, if people don’t want a particular vaccination, they don’t have to keep it to themselves. They can talk about it all they want, and you are welcome to make a different decision for yourself if that’s what you want. That’s how personal medical freedom works in this country. Or how it’s supposed to work, anyway. Don’t blame your own personal choice that you now regret on the personal choices of others.

Now, if so-called “antivaxxers” had enacted and enforced a mandate specifically preventing Cher from being able to get the flu shot if she wanted it, then she could be mad that she had no control over her health choices and that would be an entirely different issue. An issue kind of like what’s happened with COVID, where the personal medical choices of many were overridden by a mandate created by people who felt a certain way about the COVID “vaccine.” Pro-COVID-vaxxers mandated everyone to get the vax they supported, regardless of personal choices or desire for the vaccine. But never have “antivaxxers” created a mandate preventing everyone from getting a vaccine they didn’t support, regardless of personal choices or desire for the vaccine. See the difference?
