Well then, I must have unbelievable luck, because every year I take the flu shot, I don’t get the flu. Of course, the two years I remember that I wasn’t able to get the shot, I got the flu. What a coincidence.

Problem is you can’t make any deduction from your anecdote. You can’t know what might have happened if your choice to get or not a flu shot were the opposite.

By comparison, I’ve never had a flu shot in my 60 years. I’ve only gotten the flu two or three times over that period ... and not at all for the last 20 years or so.

Guess I’ve had incredible luck ..,

... or the odds of getting the flu are pretty small ;-)
