As I stated above, it's very possible to not be sick and still be contagious to other people.

The flu shot does plenty, just because you're one of a minority that gets sick (chances are you already had it when you were vaccinated, depending on when you were vaccinated), doesn't mean it's utterly useless.
Agreed there are some useful vaccines, but the flu shot is not mandatory. There is a reason it is optional, because they can't guarantee that it will do anything at all.

Until there is some proof that the flu shot will absolutely protect me, I will not be getting one.
