Ralph,
If you are basing your theory on your individual case compared to a few
around you, then it is not really scientifically sound. There could be many
other factors involved with your current health status and those around you
with issues you are unaware of. It is most important to read the scientific
literature, particularly that provided by the CDC to evaluate the
effectiveness of the current and past vaccines.
