If you look at all the lies we were told...
-you won't get Covid if you take the jab
-you won't spread covid if you take the jab
-etc
...it would make any person with the ability to think critically that maybe other virus vaccines that are heavily pushed may also not live up to their hype. You do know that Flu shots are just a guess at what will be the prevalent strain, right? And if they guess wrong, the shot is essentially worthless.

A critical thinker would recognize that no vaccine is 100% effective. A critical thinker might have looked past the marketing and read the results of the vaccine trials. A critical thinker would maybe question whether the CDC represented mainstream doctors but would then consider the possibility that the CDC (and FDA and research labs) are very nearly the definition of mainstream.
I wonder if your internist told you NOT to get the vaccine or agreed with you that you were not one of the high risk individuals who the vaccine was being recommended for. To me, there is a big difference between "don't get the vaccine" and "don't bother getting the vaccine unless you want to."
Out of my area of expertise but I believe that even if they are right (and you might want to investigate who "they" are) the flu shot is still not 100% effective.
I will be waiting for the next version of the Covid vaccine to come out and then getting both the flu and Covid shots. (or October'ish for just the flu, whichever comes first)
