Your internist, I am sure, told you that your chances of getting a severe case with your then current health conditions are small. I doubt he told you NOT to get the booster.
What we were told is that they REDUCE THE CHANCE of getting a severe case and/or die. It was never even touted to be anywhere close to 100% effective.
The only thing that is right with this post is that they do take an educated guess on the Flu virus's that will be prevalent in the next year for the annual flu shot. If their educated guess is wrong and new strains appear, the flu shot would not be effective for these strains.

Try explaining to the conspiracy inclined that its a PUBLIC health issue, a percentage who are vaccinated will have reactions from not noticeable to severe even fatal, every year some die from infections due to minor surgical procedures , some will get sick even having been vaccinated, for most it will lower their risk, a less severe case if infected, they will less likely to transmit the virus making for better "herd immunity", people will read into statistics what they want to see, massage facts to fit . Flu shot is a best guess ? , perhaps but still a good idea for most
