You're right, it depends on who you choose to believe. I'm in a "high risk" group for flu, so it's always been recommended to me to have a vaccine shot. For the first 6 years I followed this recommendation, and each time I did I got sick within a few weeks of having the shot. I stopped getting the shot 14 years ago, and have never gotten the flu.
The times I got sick after getting the shot, I cannot say what the illness was (don't think it lasted long enough to be the flu), but it did seem to coincide with having the shot somehow.
I'm just curious how you characterise "mild flu", because most people who think they got the flu because they had vomiting, etc. for a day or two really just suffered some kind of food poisoning (which is sometimes referred to as "stomach flu" but really has nothing to do with influenza virus).
