Because there will be a flu season and there will be a new shot you will be encouraged (sorry, did I say that? I mean mandated) to get. So what are your choices, really?
Believe it or not, you do have choices. One of them is to be prepared. Here is how I beat the flu last year, so successfully that friends started calling me up asking me to give them the remedy I had used on my whole family when we became sick. All I did was reading these two books, stock up on a few herbal tinctures and apply them following the guidelines for viral infections.
Yes, anyone can do it (although a good knowledge of herbal medicine or a consultation with a registered herbalist can help). Yes, you have to be careful about interactions with other drugs. And yes, herbal remedies work beautifully and are mostly completely non-toxic and very effective, for kids and adults.
You should be responsible for your own health. OR- you can just get the next (useless) shot, risk losing your health and still get sick, and then go to the doctor to see what other crap they can give you to repair the damage. But you know, it's your body so- your choice.
DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation to the author of these books, just deep admiration for the century-old knowledge shared in them.
