sorry twinkies, In a review of 48 reports including more than 66,000 adults, "Vaccination of healthy adults only reduced risk of influenza by 6% and reduced the number of missed work days by less than one day (0.16) days. It did not change the number of people needing to go to hospital or take time off work."

Reference: "Vaccines for preventing influenza in healthy adults." The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 1 (2006).

How about the drug companies that create these useless vaccines where the strain just become resistant to the vaccine.

businesses and schools benefit tremendously. If every employee has to ge t a flu shot, their likely hood of having to take time off for the flu decreases, so the business has to pay for fewer sick days, and has increased productivity. If kids have to get it, the likely hood of parents having to take time off for their kids decreases and has the same effect.
