      If people are cancerned about fatal disease, why does nobody proactively prevent catching the flu, given the stats of yealy deaths from influenza?

      This question has been asked and answered many, many times. By now, asking this kind of question shows either an inability to search, to compare two different numbers for lethality, communicability or preventability; or this is classic false-dilemma crap from the anti-science crowd.

      Your answers are found trivially via google.

      I was going to reply with actual answers, but then I realized that if you actually wanted to know the answers, you could take literally 30 seconds to look up any of those questions. And the fact that you’re still asking them given the ample time, means you’re either willfully ignorant, or just stirring the pot.

      Could be that people need to stop being manipulated into living in fear, stop being a slave to their emotions, and accept that risks are part of living, and the only concrete garauntee you ave is that you will for sure die?

      Literally just a list of reasons to get vaccinated.

      Oh do you know of something to help a person never die, will never ever suffer death?

      Do you have really any understanding of the concept of risk? Or is risk just a binary thing to you? Do you not look both ways before crossing the street either? After all you’ll die someday either way.

      Some people do, about 20% in Saskatchewan.

      I’ve been getting the annual flu vaccine since it became available.

      I don’t particularly worry about disease and accidents and definitely don’t live in fear, but I take standard precautions: vaccinations, diet, fitness, PPE in my shop, etc. It’s all relatively simple and mostly low effort.
