This week on Phil's Facebook Rampage, "Vaccines and Why You Shouldn't Die Unless Absolutely Necessary".
Can people please stop spreading the conspiracy theory that the flu vaccine causes flu. It's not a live vaccine, it's not possible to contract flu from it and at-risk people are starting to abstain from getting vaccinated which is only going to aid the spread of the disease.
If you or someone you know (urban myth for short) have got extreme flu-like symptoms after getting the vaccine, you either already had the disease by coincidence, you've got some other disease that's been misdiagnosed as flu or you've had an allergic reaction to the vaccine.

Remember, symptoms aren't caused by the virus, they're caused by the body's immune response to the antigens in the bloodstream. There's no live flu virus in the vaccine so, although it can cause mild flu-like symptoms (which is your body's fault, not the disease) it categorically CANNOT infect you with influenza.
IT IS A MYTH!
If the myth continues to circulate and people keep believing that their opinion, or the opinion of their guru, shaman, faith healer, witch doctor, exorcist, leech merchant, commoner garden con artist, actual witch or Avon sales representative, is more valid than a series of facts stated by a registered medical professional who probably went to university at some point, people will die of influenza of their own volition because they're idiots.
And while we're on the subject, if you're too stupid to vaccinate yourself, fine, die, but there's plenty of diseases floating around to which your kids aren't immune. Don't let them suffer for your horoscope reading, living-laughing-loving, essential oil & prosecco powered fuckwittery. It doesn't cause autism or cancer. It won't make your child a zombie or push them into a spectrum of sexuality called "astro-gay" or any of that shit and if you're wondering "We only invented vaccines like 50 years ago, people were fine before that!", no they weren't, Karen. They died. They died of stupid poxy diseases that can now either be prevented with a vaccine or cured with a box of mild anti-biotics and a week in bed binge-watching Community on Amazon Prime (post sponsored by).

Get a grip.
And watch Community. It's really funny.
